Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday that China is ready to collaborate with other countries to make global governance more just and equitable. He advocated for an equal and orderly multi-polar world and inclusive economic globalization that benefits all.
A multi-polar world should be equal and orderly, while economic globalization should be inclusive and universally beneficial, said Wang at a news conference for the second session of the 14th National People's Congress.
He further explained that an equal multi-polar world means equal rights, equal opportunities and equal rules for every nation. Countries should not be categorized according to their "strength", and it is definitely unacceptable that certain countries must be at the table while others can only be on the menu.
He added that multi-polarity doesn't mean multiple blocs or fragmentation, or disarray, and an orderly multi-polar world means all should observe the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.
Wang highlighted that universally beneficial globalization aims to expand the economic pie and distribute it more fairly. He also mentioned that inclusive globalization involves supporting countries in pursuing a development path suited to their own national conditions.
