Wang Wenbin, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on the 21st that since the Global Development Initiative was put forward, it has effectively promoted the international community to re attach importance to development issues, proposed a feasible path to accelerate the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, built a cooperation platform, pooled development resources and addressed the most urgent development challenges. At the regular press conference on that day, a reporter asked: Recently, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a US think tank, held an online seminar on the "New Global Development Initiative". Some experts said at the meeting that the Global Development Initiative, taking accelerating the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as the starting point, would help all sectors of the global development forces form a joint force, improve the efficiency of development resource utilization, and better align with the development strategies of developing countries. Western countries should not deny it comprehensively, but should communicate and coordinate with China to ensure that the global development initiative really plays a role. What is China's comment on this? Wang Wenbin expressed that China appreciates the relevant experts' objective and fair view of the global development initiative. Over the past year, the Global Development Initiative has effectively promoted the international community to re attach importance to development issues, renew its commitment to achieving the sustainable development goals on schedule, propose feasible paths for accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, build a cooperation platform, pool development resources, and address the most urgent development challenges. Wang Wenbin said that over the past year, the number of countries and international organizations supporting the initiative has increased to more than 100, and the "Friends Group of Global Development Initiative" established on the United Nations platform has grown to more than 60 members. China has worked with all parties to actively implement the 32 practical initiatives of the High level Dialogue on Global Development to promote cooperation and initiatives, and has achieved many early gains. We have set up an international non-governmental poverty reduction cooperation network, and the first group of relevant institutions from 17 countries and regions have joined. We are working with 150 institutions in nearly 40 countries and regions to establish the World Alliance for the Development of Vocational and Technical Education. The "Friends Group" of the initiative made a joint statement on food security at the General Assembly. The China Pacific Island Countries Cooperation Center on Climate Change has been launched. We have carried out joint production of COVID-19-19 vaccines with 13 countries, including nine "group of friends" countries. More than 1000 capacity-building projects have provided more than 40000 person times of training for developing countries. He said that the Global Development Initiative, with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda as the center and the practical cooperation projects in key areas as the guide, strengthened its connection with the United Nations, attached importance to the role of the United Nations development system, and was committed to strengthening synergies with the development process of various regions, subregions and groups of countries, pooling and making good use of resources from all sides to better serve the actual development needs of developing countries. "The Global Development Initiative adheres to the spirit of openness and inclusiveness. We welcome partners including developed countries to participate in the initiative and work together to promote global development to a new level, and to pool the broadest joint efforts to achieve all sustainable development goals as scheduled." Wang Wenbin said. (Liu Xinshe)
