Xi calls for building just world of common development at G20 Summit

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday that China is ready to work with all parties to build a just world of common development.
While addressing Session I of the 19th G20 Summit on Fight Against Hunger and Poverty, Xi said “there should be more bridges of cooperation, and less ‘small yard, high fences,’ so that more and more developing countries will be better off and achieve modernization”.
To build such a world, Xi calls for an “open, inclusive and non-discriminatory environment for international economic cooperation,” a “universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization,” and support for developing countries in better integrating in digital, smart, and green development to bridge the North-South gap.
Xi also said that China will always be a member of the Global South, a reliable long-term partner of fellow developing countries, and a doer and go-getter working for the cause of global development.
“A single flower does not make spring. China wants to see a hundred flowers in full blossom and will go hand in hand with fellow developing countries toward modernization,” Xi added.
The Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty was launched at the first session of the summit. ■
