"APEC is bound by water. When I just boarded the ship, looking at the vast sea, I thought of the word 'helping each other in the same boat'. Let's hold the helm, steer the course, paddle together, ride the wind and waves, and jointly steer the ship of the world economy to a better shore!"
At the APEC Business Leaders' Summit held in the Pacific island country of Papua New Guinea, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech, focusing on the future and destiny of mankind, looking forward to the general trend of world development, profoundly clarifying the five propositions of holding the right direction for world economic development, and highly summarizing the glorious course of 40 years of reform and opening up to usher in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, It solemnly declared that China will make greater contributions to the common prosperity of all countries in the world, won strong resonance from the guests at the meeting, and attracted wide attention from the international community.
The world today is undergoing a new round of major development, changes and adjustments. As President Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly, "The tide of economic globalization is rolling forward, but protectionism and unilateralism have cast a shadow on world economic growth. The new scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform are poised, but the transformation of new and old growth drivers has not yet been completed. The international landscape has undergone profound changes, but the development imbalance has not fundamentally changed. The reform of the global governance system has accelerated, but governance lag is still a prominent challenge. " In the face of the great change that has not happened in a century, whether to cooperate or to confront, whether to open or to close, whether to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results or to play zero sum games, mankind has once again stood at a crossroads.
"The mirror reflects the shape, and the past knows the present." The world history since modern times fully shows that different choices have brought different historical tracks to the world. The Asia Pacific region has a success story like APEC. Its birth and development conform to the historical trend of openness and integration, making today's Asia Pacific the most dynamic and promising economic sector in the world. However, not all stories are so beautiful, and mankind has also learned a painful lesson. World War II has plunged mankind into a monstrous catastrophe. On the Pacific Explorer in Port Moresby, PNG, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech entitled "Working Together to Create a Better Future", which meaningfully pointed out that "we are on the same boat", reminded people not to forget the ups and downs of history, and called for common driving of the world economic ship to a better shore, It reveals a simple and profound truth for people: only by firmly establishing the awareness of a community with a shared future for mankind, and helping each other through difficulties, can we make the world a better place and people a happier place.
Facing the historical tide, how can we grasp the correct direction for the development of the world economy? How can we find effective governance ideas for the international community? President Xi Jinping clearly put forward five propositions: adhere to the open orientation and expand development space; Adhere to the development orientation and promote people's well-being; Adhere to inclusive orientation and promote integration and mutual learning; Insist on innovation orientation and open up the source of growth; Adhere to the rule orientation and improve global governance. These five propositions conform to the irreversible historical trend of economic globalization, which is an important principle to grasp the correct direction of world economic development, and an important concept to promote the reform of the global governance system. In accordance with the direction pointed out by President Xi Jinping, by strengthening confidence in opening up and cooperation, and jointly addressing risks and challenges, we can promote economic globalization towards a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction, and promote the development of the global governance system towards a more just and reasonable direction.
Reform does not stop and opening up does not stop. China has always been an important driver of global common opening up, a stable source of power for world economic growth, a dynamic market for countries to expand business opportunities, and a positive contributor to global governance reform. As President Xi Jinping stressed, over the past 40 years, the Chinese people have been brave to explore and work hard; Open your mind and embrace the world; Focus on development and benefit the people; Establish oneself and reach people, and seek common development. After 40 years of reform and opening up, China has not only developed itself, but also benefited the world. The Chinese people are more firmly aware that only reform and opening up can develop China. "With a more responsible spirit, a more open and inclusive mind, and higher quality growth, China will make greater contributions to the common prosperity of all countries in the world while realizing its own development." President Xi Jinping's declaration is a solemn commitment and firm confidence.
"There is no limit to the vast world, and we are sailing with trade wind." In the current situation of surging world economy and prominent risks and challenges, as long as we work together in the same boat and seek common development, the ship of the world economy will surely sail to a better shore, and our world will certainly have a better future.
