A fairer world will benefit all nations
Globalization which began in the middle of last century greatly helped in bringing the nation-states closer, in intensifying the free flow of products, services and people, in enhancing interactions among the cultures and civilizations, and in building global value chains for the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. But not all countries, especially the developing countries, have gained their fair share in this process. There is no alternative to globalization but the current structure can't cater to the needs of all nation-states. The present world order is not fair and just.
In this context, I believe the Chinese initiative of building a community with a shared future for mankind is a positive move. It has put forward a proposal for cooperation based on sovereign equality, free choice and self-decision.
I hope its success will contribute to the inclusive and environmentally friendly development of the world through enhanced connectivity, research and people-to-people relations among the nation-states, and will benefit humankind as a whole.
Chinese friends have been saying repeatedly that, however prosperous and powerful China may become, it will never have any territorial ambitions and will never create problems for the sovereignty of other countries. China has been raising its voice at international forums including the United Nations in favor of a just and fairer world order. China's continuous support to the concerns and demands of developing countries has been an immense source of encouragement for them.
