Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on nations to embrace unity and cooperation inspired by the Bandung Spirit. Speaking at a roundtable in Beijing on Thursday, Wang emphasized the need to build a common home of peace, tranquility, prosperity, beauty, and friendship.
Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted that over the past 70 years, Asian and African countries influenced by the Bandung Spirit have become significant forces in maintaining peace, promoting development, and deepening cooperation.
“People around the world hope to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation and achieve common development,” Wang stated. “However, power politics and unilateral bullying are still undermining international rules and creating divisions and confrontations.”
He urged all nations to advocate for a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, safeguard the multilateral trading system, oppose unilateral protectionism, and build an open world economy.
Wang Yi also reaffirmed China’s commitment to building a community with a shared future for mankind. “China will provide new opportunities, create new space, and inject new impetus for the development of the Global South and other countries in the world,” he said.
