Where is the world headed: Peace or War? Progress or Regression? Openness or Isolation? Cooperation or Confrontation? These are choices of the times that we are confronted with.

First, we should embrace solidarity and coordination and jointly maintain world peace and stability. Hegemony, group politics and bloc confrontation bring no peace or security; they only lead to wars and conflicts.

The #UkraineCrisis is a wake-up call for all in the world. It reminds us that blind faith in the so-called “position of strength” and attempts to expand military alliances and seek one’s own security at the expense of others will only land oneself in a security dilemma.

3/

Second, we should reach out to each other and jointly promote sustainable global development. Development holds the key to solving various difficult problems and delivering better lives to the people.

4/

Today, the global development process has hit major roadblocks, the momentum of international development cooperation is being weakened, and development gap between the North and the South keeps widening.

5/

Almost 1.2 billion people in nearly 70 countries are confronted with #COVID19, #food, #energy and #debt crises. What has been achieved in decades of global #poverty reduction efforts could be lost.

In two days, #China will host the High-level Dialogue on Global Development to discuss ways to promote 🌐 development.

We should respond to people’s concerns, pursue the larger interests of all countries, and steer global development to a new era to deliver benefit to all.

7/

Third, we should tide over difficulties together and jointly pursue win-win cooperation.

Major developed countries should adopt responsible economic policies and avoid negative policy spillovers that may take a heavy toll on developing countries.

#XiJinping:

To politicize the global economy and turn it into one’s tool or weapon, and willfully impose sanctions by using one’s primary position in the international financial and monetary systems will only end up hurting one’s own interests as well as those of others.

9/

Fourth, be inclusive & jointly expand openness & integration.

A more open & inclusive world will create greater development opportunities & deliver a more prosperous future for all.

Anyone who attempts to turn back and block others’ way will only have his own path blocked.
