PURSUING MULTILATERALISM

The problems facing the world are intricate and complex. The way out of them, as is advocated by China, is through upholding multilateralism and building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Xi has, on various occasions, reiterated his call for carrying forward multilateralism and pursuing win-win cooperation.

"We need to practice true multilateralism, stick to dialogue rather than confrontation, inclusiveness rather than exclusion, and integration rather than decoupling," Xi said at the 28th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in 2021.

Jose Ignacio Martinez Cortes, a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said "China does not just talk about multilateralism, but has taken real actions."

From supplying more than 2.1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations to proposing the Global Vaccine Cooperation Action Initiative, China has honored true multilateralism in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Natee Taweesrifuengfung, president of the Thailand-based Siam Think Tank, said that in the current international situation, China has held high the banner of multilateralism, actively promoted win-win cooperation, vigorously boosted world economic recovery, and has shouldered its responsibility as a major country.

As an ancient Chinese statesman observed, "Designs for justice prevail, and acts for people's benefit succeed." The aspiration for a happy life is a common pursuit of humanity that nothing can hold back. Under the guidance of Xi's economic thought, China is working hand in hand with the rest of the world to build a community with a shared future for mankind and make the world even more prosperous and beautiful.
