2023-12-06
In winter, Yangcheng remains warm and sunny, with lush flowers and leaves. Wise people from both China and abroad gathered here to attend a grand intellectual gathering. The 2023 Congdu International Forum concluded on the 5th in Guangzhou. More than 130 political, business, and academic guests from over 40 countries attended the forum, delving into important topics such as world peace and stability, sustainable economic development, and cultural exchange and mutual learning around the theme of "Multilateralism: More Exchange, Inclusion, and Cooperation". They discussed global cooperation, development, and shared experiences. This ideological dialogue is timely. Against the backdrop of constantly emerging global challenges, attendees generally believe that countries around the world should be committed to dialogue and exchange, jointly promote true multilateralism, promote mutual benefit and win-win through cooperation, inject more momentum into the common development of all countries, and create a better future together. Responding to common challenges with multilateralism, the current century long changes are accelerating, global governance is facing complex situations, and the international order is at a critical crossroads. The question of where to go between multilateralism and unilateralism is something that all countries must face. Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the forum on the 4th that we need to adhere to the core values and basic principles of multilateralism more than ever before, and practice the global governance concept of consultation, construction, and sharing. Vladimir Norov, former Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the theme of this year's International Forum highlights the importance of multilateralism, especially in the context of unilateralism and protectionism endangering peace, stability, and sustainable development. "Persisting in multilateralism is even more valuable.". "We need to deeply grasp the essence and essence of multilateralism," said Danilo Turk, President of the World Leaders' Union and former President of Slovenia. "We should advocate true multilateralism in this multipolar world, establish more multilateral mechanisms, and lead the world towards a better direction through joint efforts.". Co-chairman of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center and former Latvian President Vaira Freibega said that the world today is not peaceful, and without multilateralism to resolve these conflicts, we cannot truly achieve common prosperity. Countries should promote mutual understanding, seek common ground while reserving differences, respect each other's differences and differences, and seek peaceful coexistence. Multilateralism not only conforms to the trend of world development, represents the direction of human society's progress, but also an effective path to maintain peace and promote development. Zhou Zerong, President of the Australia China Friendship and Exchange Association, stated that human society is facing unprecedented challenges. The theme of this forum focuses on multilateralism, calling on the international community to transcend isolation through communication, resolve conflicts through inclusiveness, and achieve development through cooperation. At present, the world economy is facing difficulties in recovery and the anti globalization trend is rising. Unilateralism and protectionism are clearly on the rise, and global issues such as regional conflicts and climate change are intensifying. Is it unity or division, openness or closure, cooperation or confrontation? How to make a decision is related to the future of human society. Former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Letem pointed out that we are currently facing many problems, and to solve these problems well, we can only do so through cooperation. Former President of Nigeria
