At the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, China's top legislator Zhao Leji delivered a keynote speech stressing the need for worldwide parliamentary cooperation. He urged legislative bodies to tackle grave challenges to peace and development by embracing mutual respect, equality, and cooperation.
Facing global pressures, Zhao emphasized that parliaments should lead the charge by forging a new model of international relations—one that upholds each country's sovereignty and territorial integrity while respecting every people's right to choose their own path. Think of it as assembling a global squad that stands together to overcome any obstacle! 😃
The legislator underlined the importance of multilateralism, citing a robust trading system led by the World Trade Organization and stronger legal frameworks that support win-win cooperation and shared progress. He also highlighted the value of cultural exchanges, urging nations to celebrate the beauty of civilizational diversity and dialogue.
Zhao affirmed that China's National People's Congress is ready to deepen cooperation with the Inter-Parliamentary Union and other legislative bodies. This collaborative spirit aims to drive forward the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative, building a community with a shared future for humanity.
For young professionals, students, news enthusiasts, and global citizens alike, the message is clear: united legislative efforts can pave the way for a more just, equitable, and secure world. It’s a call to action for building a brighter future together! 🚀
