Xi Jinping pointed out that development is the eternal theme of human society. Only continuous development can realize the people’s dream of a healthy life and a peaceful society. For a long time, the vast number of developing countries have made unremitting efforts to explore a development path that suits their own national conditions and achieve economic and social development, and have achieved remarkable results. Emerging market countries and developing countries have accounted for half of the world’s economy, and have also made great progress in science and technology, education, society, culture and other fields. At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has swallowed up the achievements of many years of global development, the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been hindered, the gap between the North and the South continues to widen, and food and energy security is in crisis. At the same time, the desire of the people of all countries to seek peace, development and cooperation has become stronger, the will of emerging market countries and developing countries to unite and self-improvement has become stronger, and the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation will bring more opportunities to all countries.
Xi Jinping stressed that this is an era full of challenges and an era full of hope. We must recognize the general development trend of the world, strengthen our confidence, and act on it. We must form a single rope and join forces to promote global development and jointly create a development pattern of inclusiveness and balance, coordination and inclusiveness, win-win cooperation, and common prosperity.
First, we must jointly build an international consensus on promoting development. Only when people of all countries live a good life can prosperity last, security be guaranteed, and human rights have a foundation. We must place development at the center of the international agenda, implement the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and build a political consensus that everyone attaches importance to development and that all countries seek cooperation.
Second, we must jointly create an international environment conducive to development. Protectionism is self-inflicted, and creating a “small circle” will only isolate oneself, limit others and harm oneself, and decoupling and cutting supply will not work and will not go far. We must seek development with sincerity, make concerted efforts to promote development, build an open world economy, and build a more just and reasonable global governance system and institutional environment.
Third, we need to jointly cultivate new momentum for global development. It is necessary to promote technological and institutional innovation, accelerate technology transfer and knowledge sharing, promote the development of modern industries, bridge the digital divide, accelerate low-carbon transformation, and promote a stronger, greener and healthier global development.
Fourth, we need to jointly build a global partnership for development. Only through cooperation can we achieve great things, good things, and long-term things. Developed countries should fulfill their obligations, developing countries should deepen cooperation, and the North and South should meet each other halfway to jointly build a global development partnership of solidarity, equality, balance and universal benefits, so that no country or individual will be left behind. We should support the United Nations in playing an overall and coordinating role in global development cooperation, and encourage business circles, social groups, and media think tanks to participate in global development cooperation.
Xi Jinping stressed that China has always been a member of the big family of developing countries. China will take pragmatic measures to continue to support the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
