China will continue to contribute to the common good, shoulder its responsibility as a major country, and offer its wisdom and solutions to the questions of the times, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
Lin was responding to a report that the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) has conferred the gold award for exhibition design among large self-built pavilions on the China Pavilion at the Osaka Expo 2025.
This is the 17th time that, on behalf of the Chinese government, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade has brought China's pavilion to overseas expos, and the first time that the China Pavilion has won the gold award. The secretary general of the BIE said that China's pavilion not only showcased China's thousands of years of history and culture but also its solution for future societal development and sense of responsibility, according to the report.
"We congratulate the China Pavilion on winning the award. The China Pavilion offers a window into traditional Chinese wisdom in ecological protection, China's philosophy and achievements in green development in the new era, and the vision of countries jointly building a community of life for humans and Nature. It's one of the most popular national pavilions in the Expo," said Lin.
"Fine traditional Chinese cultures are relevant in addressing current global challenges. In recent years, China has proposed the philosophy of building a community with a shared future for humanity, the Global Governance Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Belt and Road Initiative. These visions vividly demonstrate how China, a peace-loving major country, stands up to its responsibility by embracing solidarity and inclusiveness, honoring commitment, and promoting amity in its interactions with other countries. They also dovetail with humanity's common values and are recognized and supported by the international community," he said.
"In a world with exacerbating deficits in global peace, development, security and governance, China will continue to contribute to the common good, shoulder its responsibility as a major country and offer its wisdom and solutions that are rooted in Eastern civilization to the questions of the times," said the spokesman.
