Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi emphasized the importance of win-win cooperation for shared prosperity at the Summit of the Future held at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York on Monday.
During his address, Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, described the world as a giant ship, asserting that countries must unite to navigate the challenges ahead.
"Countries are not riding separately in some 190 small boats, but rather we're all in a giant ship on which our shared destiny hinges. Small boats may not survive wind and waves, but a giant ship is strong enough to brave the stormy seas. Countries need to share development opportunities and pursue win-win cooperation," Wang said.
As the special representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Wang is in New York to attend the UN Summit of the Future and the general debate of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly from September 22 to 28.
More than 130 heads of state and government attended the Summit of the Future, which opened on Sunday.
The Summit adopted a Pact for the Future, as well as its annexes the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations, which cover a broad range of themes including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations and the transformation of global governance.
