A white paper released on Wednesday by the State Council Information Office highlighted China's role in actively advancing efforts for building a more just and equitable global governance system.
As a responsible major country, China champions the building of a community with a shared future for humanity and takes the lead in practicing true multilateralism, according to the white paper, titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions."
As a major country with the best peace and security record, China has enshrined in its Constitution a commitment to peaceful development, the white paper noted.
China champions the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security, and has put forward the Global Security Initiative and acted on its principles, contributing to lasting world peace and stability, it said.
As the largest developing country, China has always pursued its own growth in the context of humanity's shared development and upheld openness, win-win cooperation, inclusiveness, and shared benefits, according to the white paper.
"China firmly upholds the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core and has become a major trading partner of over 160 countries and regions across the world. Following the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, China has promoted the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, building a platform for international cooperation that delivers mutual benefits and win-win outcomes," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a press conference in Beijing where the white paper was presented to the media.
Through Chinese modernization, the country has provided the world with new opportunities and boosted the global drive for modernization, the white paper added.
China advocates and practices true multilateralism and remains an active champion and strong proponent of multilateral cooperation, read the white paper.
Noting that China will always be a member of the Global South, the white paper said China has firmly safeguarded the common interests of the Global South in international affairs, and led the Global South in building strength through joint efforts.
"China has promoted the historic expansion of BRICS and the growth of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), supported the African Union's accession to the G20, put forward the Global South Open and Inclusive Cooperation Initiative, and announced the implementation of eight measures to support Global South cooperation, helping the Global South collectively move toward modernization," Wang said.
China has proposed the Global Civilization Initiative and promoted its implementation, championing the common values of humanity and fostering deeper exchanges and understanding among different peoples, and wider interactions and greater integration of diverse cultures in a joint effort to advance the development and progress of human civilization, the white paper added.
