At the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang delivered an inspiring address, urging the world to champion humanity's common values and work together for a multipolar future. In his speech, Ding stressed that in today's rapidly changing environment, values like peace, development, and justice are more vital than ever. 😊
Ding outlined a bold four-point proposal to guide global progress:
- Enhanced Global Governance: Promote extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits to safeguard fairness and uphold the authority of the United Nations.
- Open World Economy: Build an inclusive and pluralistic economic framework, ensuring a fair share of globalization's benefits for every nation.
- Cultural Exchange: Encourage mutual learning and respect among diverse civilizations, opposing ideological confrontation and any form of a "new Cold War."
- Lasting Peace: Strengthen global stability by building trust, resolving conflicts through dialogue, and passing on peace to future generations.
Ding recalled that a decade ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping highlighted that peace, development, equity, justice, democracy, and freedom are the common values uniting mankind. He also emphasized the special bond between China and Russia, noting their close cooperation on investment, energy, education, and technology. During the forum, Ding engaged in friendly discussions with leaders from Russia, Indonesia, Bahrain, and South Africa, reinforcing partnerships aimed at building a fairer, more prosperous global order.
Despite the challenges posed by external shocks, Ding affirmed that the Chinese mainland's economy continues to display robust vitality and remains committed to opening its doors even wider to global business. His message resonates as a call for young people worldwide to recognize that unity and mutual respect can pave the way for a brighter, inclusive future. 🌍🤝
