'China continues to contribute to world development'
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China will take proactive steps to deepen cooperation, remain a promoter and contributor to global development, and work with all parties to usher in a new landscape for global development through concrete actions. He made the remarks when addressing the Forum on Global Action for Shared Development in Beijing on Wednesday. Wang said this year marks the fifth anniversary of the Global Development Initiative (GDI), which has evolved from a Chinese proposition into an international consensus with rich practical outcomes, according to Xinhua News Agency. He said Beijing stands ready to work with all parties to implement the GDI as a platform, pool extensive development resources and build a solid foundation for development. The foreign minister urged all parties to stay committed to the path of peaceful development, foster an open environment for development and aim to build a community with a shared future for humanity.
