At the 7th Paris Peace Forum on Monday, former Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying shared China's vision for the future of the global order, placing the United Nations at its heart. 🌐
Speaking passionately on a panel about the global impact of the U.S. presidential election, Fu contrasted China's approach with that of the West. She pointed out that rapid global changes and years of strategic overreach by the United States have made Americans more hesitant to dive deep into world affairs.
\"Sometimes, Americans act as saboteurs, undermining the Western global order itself,\" she remarked, sparking discussions among attendees.
Fu raised a critical question about the future: Will the U.S. address the flaws in the Western global order by making it more inclusive and open, or will it continue to undermine it?
The forum, themed \"Wanted: A functioning global order\", brought together leaders and thinkers who underscored the importance of multilateralism in today's world. Justin Vaisse, director-general of the Paris Peace Forum, emphasized the need to \"regroup and convene all who stand for coordination and cooperation\" to keep multilateralism alive. 🤝
He warned that poor global governance and a lack of proper management of public goods could lead to more conflicts in the future—a serious concern for our generation.
Representatives from governments, international organizations, NGOs, and think tanks tackled pressing issues, from rising geopolitical tensions and climate change 🌍🔥 to the regulation of artificial intelligence 🤖.
The Paris Peace Forum, initiated by French President Emmanuel Macron in 2018, aims to promote multilateral cooperation and address global challenges. This year's event highlighted the urgent need for nations to come together and find common ground in a rapidly changing world.
Stay tuned, amigos, as the world navigates these complex times. Together, we can hope for a future where cooperation triumphs over conflict. ✌️
