In Bali, President Xi Jinping had a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
The future of humanity must be prioritized, President Xi noted, and we must band together to overcome the challenges as the world goes through significant changes. For the sake of giving the globe more power and confidence, major countries in particular need to lead by example. President Xi stated his belief that humanity has a bright future and that historical trends toward peace, development, and win-win cooperation will not be reversed.
China is a steadfast backer of the UN-centered international order, President Xi emphasized. The UN Charter’s goals and tenets must be preserved for peace to prevail on a global scale, and every nation’s legitimate security concerns must be considered seriously.
Unprecedented difficulties are being faced by the global development process, and fragile emerging nations have been particularly hard hit. It is essential to put development at the top of the international agenda, support new global development drivers, establish a global development partnership, pursue more robust, environmentally friendly, and fairly balanced global development, and allow every nation and person to gain more from development outcomes.
