Amb. Qi: Many Bhikkhus/Bhikkhunis from both countries defied the separation of mountains and seas, travelled along the Silk Road, and sowed seeds of friendship. Faxian (337-422 AD), Bhikkhuni Devasara Thisarana (5th C.) & Amoghavajra (705-774) etc. were well-known pioneers.

🇨🇳 President #XiJinping at #BRICS2022 #BRICSBusinessForum

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.

📖keynote speech↓

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.

2/
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.
