UNITED NATIONS, June 20 (Xinhua) — China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Thursday stressed the need to address the root causes of conflicts from a development perspective.
Poverty and underdevelopment are among the most important root causes of conflicts, and many pressing issues remain unresolved for a long time and require comprehensive solutions, he said during an open debate in the UN Security Council on poverty, underdevelopment and conflict.
The diplomat pointed to the need to help developing countries catch up in development. The global community must return development to the center of the international agenda, invest in poverty reduction, education, employment and capacity building, and ensure that no country or person is left behind, he said.
Fu Cong called for strengthening global development partnerships and improving global governance.
Developed countries should faithfully honour their official development assistance commitments and increase financial and technical support to developing countries, the Permanent Representative said.
It is necessary to advance the reform of the international financial architecture so that it better reflects changes in the global economic landscape, and to strengthen the representation and voice of developing countries, the diplomat added.
Fu Cong called on countries to promote inclusive and mutually beneficial economic globalization. According to him, countries should advocate for mutually beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, jointly support the multilateral trading system, build an open world economy, and oppose unilateralism, protectionism, and the practice of putting one’s own interests above those of others.
China has always been a builder of world peace and a defender of international order, contributing to global development, the diplomat noted.
He said the China-proposed Global Security Initiative advocates common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.
Fu Cong also stressed China’s active role in global development efforts, “aiming to jointly implement the Global Development Initiative and high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative for common development.”
The Permanent Representative also spoke about China’s domestic policy on these issues.
China aims to become a more powerful country and realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in all areas through modernization, Fu Cong noted. According to him, China has successfully paved the way for modernization that suits national conditions.
“With our achievements, we have given other developing countries more confidence in their pursuit of modernization and provided broad opportunities for modernization for all countries in the world,” the diplomat said, adding that China stands ready to work with the international community to build a world of peaceful development, win-win cooperation and common prosperity. –0–
