Ban Ki moon, Chairman of the Boao Forum for Asia, recently stated in a written interview with Xinhua News Agency that in today's increasingly interconnected world, only by consolidating consensus and cooperating for mutual benefit can we effectively address various challenges and create a better future for mankind. Ban Ki moon used the Boao Forum for Asia as an example to illustrate that after the Asian financial crisis at the end of the 20th century, Asian people yearned to establish a mechanism to bring Asian countries together, build consensus, effectively address common challenges, and ultimately achieve economic integration in Asia, thereby promoting the economic development of each Asian country.

It has played an important role in strengthening exchanges and cooperation between Asian countries and other regions of the world, and promoting Asian economic integration. Ban Ki moon said that in recent years, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the world economy has developed slowly and multilateralism has been challenged. Asian countries are united in the face of crisis and fully promote the spirit of cooperation. Asia is becoming one of the most dynamic and promising regions in the world, not only continuing to be a locomotive for global economic growth, but also expected to become an economic engine for further integration. When discussing the contribution of the Chinese economy to the world economy, Ban Ki moon said that against the backdrop of slow global economic recovery and rising protectionism, China and developing countries have always been committed to solving development problems, promoting international cooperation, and injecting momentum into world economic growth and common development. As the world's second-largest economy, what China is doing and will do has global significance. The series of major initiatives proposed by China, including the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative, are in line with the trend of the times and aim to promote cooperation and win-win outcomes, achieve mutual respect and common prosperity under the multilateral mechanism.

"Only by adhering to true multilateralism can we better cope with the increasing global challenges and maintain global security," said Ban Ki moon. When it comes to the hot topic of China's economic development, "new quality productivity," he said that the Chinese economy is shifting from high-speed growth to high-quality development. With the technological progress and innovation driven by new quality productivity, China's development will be more balanced, inclusive, and green and open. Ban Ki moon believes that the world is currently facing tremendous changes and the world is at a critical period of technological revolution. Artificial intelligence, big data, quantum computing, new materials, renewable energy and other new technologies are playing an increasingly important role, influencing and changing the future of the world. But at the same time, we cannot underestimate the risks and challenges that come with it. He pointed out that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected
