BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from Xinhua News Agency: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday sent a congratulatory message to the Global South Media and Think Tank Forum. Noting that at present, the Global South is growing with a strong momentum and playing an increasingly important role in the cause of human progress, Xi said China has always been a member of the Global South and will always belong to the developing world. China is willing to work alongside Global South countries to practice true multilateralism, advocate for an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, in a joint effort to build a community with a shared future for mankind, he said. Xi emphasized that in the face of global changes of the century, pursuing modernization and working for a more just and equitable international order are the sacred historic missions of Global South countries and the common issues of the times for Global South media and think tanks. Xi expressed hope that the forum's participants will engage in in-depth discussions, build consensus, and jointly amplify the "voice of the Global South" while showcasing the "commitment of the Global South." He also urged them to contribute wisdom toward empowering the Global South to become a stabilizing force for peace, a backbone of openness and development, a constructive force in global governance, and a driving force for mutual learning among civilizations. The Global South Media and Think Tank Forum kicked off on Monday in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The forum, co-hosted by Xinhua News Agency and the Brazil Communication Company, was held under the theme of "Development and Revitalization: A New Journey for the Global South." Also on Monday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also sent a congratulatory message to the forum.
BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Lima and pay a state visit to Peru at the invitation of President of the Republic of Peru Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra. Xi will attend the 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro and pay a state visit to Brazil at the invitation of President of the Federative Republic of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Against the backdrop of a weak global economic recovery and a multitude of global challenges, Xi's visit to Latin America will contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to keeping to the correct direction of Asia-Pacific cooperation, promoting global development, and improving global governance. This visit will also inject new impetus into the development of China-Peru, China-Brazil, and China-Latin America relations. APEC is the highest-level and most influential economic cooperation mechanism with the broadest range in the Asia-Pacific region. Since its establishment more than 30 years ago, it has turned the region into a powerhouse for world economic growth, an anchor of stability for global development, and a pacesetter for international cooperation. Since 2013, Xi has attended or chaired the APEC Economic Leaders' Meetings and delivered important speeches, planning the shared future of the people in the Asia-Pacific region. Chinese philosophy and plans have made positive contributions to promoting stability and prosperity of the region, from building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future to forging an Asia-Pacific partnership based on mutual trust, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and from the Asia-Pacific dream to building a comprehensively connected Asia-Pacific. Currently, the world economy is facing various risks and challenges, and as a global growth engine, the Asia-Pacific region bears greater responsibilities in this era. During Xi's attendance at the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, he will deliver an important speech, introducing China's significant measures to deepen reform and opening up, and elaborating on China's policies to advance Asia-Pacific cooperation. These efforts will help foster more consensus in promoting regional economic integration and building an open world economy. The G20 is a major forum for international economic cooperation. It shoulders the important mission of stabilizing the world economy and unlocking growth potential. Xi has attended or chaired G20 Summits multiple times, providing important guidance on addressing significant practical challenges in global development and on improving global economic governance. In the world today, changes on a scale unseen in a century are unfolding at an accelerating pace, and the Global South is rising collectively. The G20, bearing new expectations and embracing new opportunities for development, should fulfill greater responsibilities. Xi's attendance at the 19th G20 Summit demonstrates China's firm support for multilateralism and underscores China's high regard for G20 cooperation. Xi will deliver an important speech focusing on the theme of "Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet," engage in in-depth exchanges with leaders of other countries, work with all relevant parties to promote positive outcomes in upholding multilateralism, building an open world economy and advancing sustainable development. This will send a clear signal to encourage all countries to work together to cope with challenges and achieve common prosperity. Peru is one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic relations and a comprehensive strategic partnership with the People's Republic of China. It is also the first Latin American country to sign a package of free trade agreements with China. In recent years, with joint efforts from both sides, cooperation between China and Peru has yielded fruitful results in various fields. China and Brazil, both major developing countries and key emerging markets, are like-minded good friends and partners that join hands and move forward together. Over the past 50 years since the two sides established diplomatic relations, China-Brazil relations have maintained stable development, contributing to the two countries' own development and revitalization and playing an important role in maintaining world peace, stability, prosperity and development. Xi's state visits to Peru and Brazil will further solidify bilateral political mutual trust, deepen practical cooperation, promote cultural exchanges, strengthen multilateral collaboration, and elevate the comprehensive strategic partnerships between China and Peru, as well as between China and Brazil, to new heights. In 2014, Xi proposed the building of a China-Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) community with a shared future during his visit to Brazil, which received widespread and positive responses from Latin American countries. Over the past decade, continuous progress has been made in building a China-LAC community with a shared future and the China-LAC relationship has ushered in a new era characterized by equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and more benefits for the people. As members of the Global South, China and Latin American countries have firmly upheld world peace, promoted common development, and actively contributed to improving global governance. Xi's visit this time will further consolidate the consensus on unity and cooperation between China and Latin America, and promote the building of a China-LAC community with a shared future and the modernization of the Global South. Pooling wisdom and forming synergy, China is willing to work with all parties to promote the spirit of partnership and deepen cooperation in various fields, so as to advocate an equal and orderly multi-polar world and inclusive economic globalization that benefits all, and contribute greater efforts to world peace and development.
BEIJING, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping extended congratulations to Donald Trump on his election as president of the United States. Xi noted that stable, sound and sustainable China-US relations serve both countries' shared interests and meet the aspirations of the international community. He expressed the hope that the two sides will uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, strengthen dialogue and communication, properly manage differences, and expand mutually beneficial cooperation. He urged the countries to find the right way to get along in the new era, so as to benefit both countries and the wider world. Xi's congratulatory message reflects China's stable and consistent policy toward the US. As one of the world's most important bilateral relations, China-US ties should be considered and planned with a broad vision, so as to benefit the people of both countries and demonstrate responsibility for human progress. No matter how the international landscape evolves, China always manages bilateral relations with a sense of responsibility toward history, the people and the world based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. History has already proven that China-US relations, though experiencing ups and downs, has always moved forward through twists and turns. Since the "ice-breaking" of bilateral relations in 1971, China and the US have worked hand in hand to bring tangible benefits to both countries and the world. Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are the lessons learned from 50 years of China-US relations and conflicts between major countries in history and should be the direction of joint efforts between the two countries. Just as mutual respect is the basic code of behavior for individuals, it is fundamental for China-US relations. Peaceful coexistence is a basic norm for international relations. Even more, it is a baseline that China and the US should hold on to as two major countries. Win-win cooperation is the trend of the times, and it is also an inherent property of China-US relations. Win-win cooperation between China and the US is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples, as well as the trend of the times. China's rapid and constant development has been facilitated by its open cooperation with countries around the world, providing sustained growth momentum and a vast market space for countries including the US. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, bilateral trade between China and the US has seen an over 200-fold expansion, accounting for approximately one-fifth of global trade. Today, China is the third-largest market for exports of US goods, while the US is China's third-largest trading partner. More than 70,000 US companies have invested and operated in China, with exports to China alone supporting 930,000 US jobs. In 2023, 1,920 new US companies were established in China, and 80 percent of US companies plan to reinvest profits generated in China in 2024. These facts prove that China-US cooperation has brought tangible benefits to the people of both countries, while the two countries' respective successes pose an opportunity for each other. China and the US jointly advancing mutually beneficial cooperation can provide opportunities for both sides to better address their respective challenges and achieve development. The two countries have broad common interests in a wide range of areas, including traditional areas such as the economy, trade and agriculture, as well as emerging areas such as climate change and artificial intelligence. Under the current circumstances, the common interests of the two countries have not decreased, but rather have increased. China is pursuing high-quality development, and the US is revitalizing its economy. There is plenty of room for bilateral cooperation, and the two countries should help rather than hinder each other's development. Both China and the US should make the list of cooperation longer and the pie of cooperation bigger, helping each other succeed and achieving win-win outcomes. They should focus on the larger picture, and nurture a sound atmosphere and stable relations for cooperation. As the international situation continues to be turbulent and fast-changing, and humanity faces numerous global challenges, the world increasingly needs a stable relationship between China and the US. China and the US should assume the vision, shoulder the responsibility and play the role that come along with their status as major countries. As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the world's top two economies, China and the US should be a source of stability for world peace and a propeller for common development. Over the past year, China-US diplomatic, financial, law enforcement and climate change teams, as well as both militaries have maintained communication, sending positive signals to the world. Currently, promoting world economic recovery and settling international and regional issues require China and the US to coordinate and cooperate with each other. Both sides should step up coordination and cooperation on international and regional issues, providing more public goods to the world and contributing to addressing the ever-emerging global challenges. China and the US stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. The two countries need to strengthen dialogue in a mutually respectful way, manage differences prudently, advance cooperation in the spirit of mutual benefit, and step up coordination on international affairs in a responsible way. China's foreign policy is open and transparent and its strategic intentions are aboveboard, both of which have been highly consistent and stable. China will keep viewing and handling China-US relations based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. The world is big enough for the two countries to develop themselves and prosper together. Striving for more stable, better and forward-going China-US relations is the right choice that shows responsibility toward history, the people and the world.
GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a news report from GDToday: An event aimed at bridging two regions across the Pacific Ocean — Colombia and China's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) — was held in Bogotá, Colombia on October 30, focusing on strengthening economic and trade ties. The event, titled China (Guangdong)-Colombia Economic and Trade Exchange and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Promotion Conference, brought together business leaders and government officials from GBA and Colombia to explore new trade opportunities and discuss the vast potential within China's Greater Bay Area, a dynamic region known for its innovation, growth, and openness. Wu Daowen, deputy director general of Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission and director general of Guangdong Energy Bureau, elaborated that the GBA covers 56,000 square kilometers and is home to over 86 million people, presenting vast opportunities for development and market growth. "In 2023, its economic output surpassed 14 trillion yuan (nearly 2 trillion US dollars), accounting for one-ninth of China's total economy, although the area only represents less than 1 percent of the country's land area and 6 percent of its population. This region is quickly emerging as one of the world's most promising growth hubs," Wu added. The event also showcased the opportunities ahead in Belt and Road cooperation as Colombia and China discuss Colombia's formal participation in the initiative. In 2023, the total import and export volume between Guangdong and BRI partner countries reached 3.04 trillion RMB, making up about 37 percent of the province's total trade. Additionally, Guangdong enterprises have invested over five billion USD in these partner countries. Luis Diego Monsalve, former Colombian ambassador to China and representative of Colombia-China Chamber of Commerce, told GDToday that he started conversations about the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) when he served as Colombian ambassador in China. "Now, the incumbent government decided to follow up those conversations. I hope in the following months or year, we can formalize the participation of Colombia. And with that, I think there would be much more exchanges, especially in economic areas," Monsalve said.
BEIJING, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report by China.org.cn on China-US relations:  Do China and the U.S. have common interests? No doubt they do. First, when it comes to the future of the China-U.S. relationship, both countries have been aware that they need to keep the overall bilateral relationship stable, and avoid letting situations get out of control. This embodies the largest common interest between the two. Secondly, in terms of economic and trade ties, the two countries aggregately account for 40% of global GDP; although the trade war between the two nations has lasted for years, they remain one of each other's major trade partners, with their trade volume adding up to over 660 billion USD. Even for America, the majority of voices still believe it's not a good idea to decouple with China in economy and trade. For regional and global hot spot issues, and sometimes even for the major issues that influence the U.S.'s own national interest, there would be no real resolution without consensus and collaboration between China and the U.S. In addition, many places in the world are suffering from extreme weather, making climate change a common challenge for all countries. As the largest developing country and the largest developed country, China and the U.S. have their respective strengths in energy transformation, greenhouse gas reduction, and circular economy among other aspects. The two enjoy great potential and bright prospects. Therefore, the said two countries should pay more attention to the common interests between them, guiding the bilateral relationship through collaboration, instead of leaving it to be defined by disagreements.

BEIJING, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- China will continue to strengthen cooperation with Global South countries and support their development and prosperity to jointly realize global modernization, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on Thursday, reiterating China's continuous support for developing countries. The remarks were made in response to media questions regarding the ongoing 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, which features 37 least-developed countries (LDCs), with the event organizers providing more than 120 free exhibition booths specifically for businesses from these countries. The food and agricultural products exhibition area has also expanded at the expo, which runs from Tuesday to Sunday, for African countries to showcase a wide range of agricultural products. Mao said that since its launch, the CIIE has been actively providing facilitation for LDCs. For the past seven years, more and more products from LDCs have entered the Chinese market through the CIIE, which contributed to the industrial development and improvement of people's livelihood in these countries, according to the spokesperson. Representatives from some of the LDCs expressed their appreciation for China's support in giving them the opportunity to present themselves at the expo. They also expressed their expectations of deepening economic and trade ties with China. Now in its seventh year, the CIIE has strengthened its role as an international platform for public goods, offering increased support to LDCs as they seek to enter the Chinese market and further integrate into the global economy, according to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM). According to the UN, as of 2023, there were 45 LDCs globally, with 33 located in Africa. According to the MOFCOM, 37 LDCs are participating in this year's CIIE. "This is the second time that we have participated in the CIIE… We have 30 companies coming to the expo this year compared with about 20 in 2023," Kassim Kone, a delegate from the Mali Export Promotion Agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Mali, told the Global Times, indicating the growing importance that Mali has attached to this event. The CIIE is really very important, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, as they can promote and sell their products easily here, Kone said. Munteha Jemal Seid, Plenipotentiary Minister of the Ethiopian Embassy in China, told the Global Times that the Ethiopian Embassy has participated in almost every CIIE, since it "is a big opportunity for Ethiopian companies to expose their products as they can meet buyers here and continue to connect with them." There are various types of agricultural products, such as coffee, soybeans, kidney beans, sesame, edible oil products and honey in Ethiopia. "We are offering organic products, and this is something that is very important for the markets," the minister said. What the LDCs are thrilled about is not just the ongoing import expo. China announced in September to give all the LDCs that have diplomatic relations with China zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines, according to a statement from the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council. China is the first developing country and major global economy to implement this initiative, according to MOFCOM. The zero-tariff treatment, which will be effective from December 1, aims to expand unilateral opening to the LDCs and to achieve common development, the statement said. Talking about the favorable zero-tariff treatment for the LDCs like Ethiopia, the Ethiopian envoy said that "this is a very great chance for Ethiopia as well as other African countries to expand their trade." One product with big potential is coffee, which has gained popularity in China, with the trade volume growing from time to time, thanks to the big consumption power of the Chinese market, Seid said. The country is also moving to register some new products like avocados and cassava for sale to China. Bangladesh is showcasing a variety of products at the booth, ranging from leather to food. Some of these products are already being exported to China. Regarding China's zero-tariff treatment policy for some LDCs, of which Bangladesh is one, Md Ziaur Rahman, the commercial counselor of the Embassy of Bangladesh in China, told the Global Times on Thursday, "This policy will significantly promote trade for countries like ours, and we are very grateful for it." This year marks Madagascar's first participation at the CIIE, and it is also one of the countries given a free exhibition booth. Speaking about the country's participation, Rodrigue Brechard, a representative of the Economic Expansion Department of Madagascar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the CIIE, told the Global Times on Thursday, "This is a great opportunity for us to promote our products and showcase the image of our country." "We hope to return next year with a larger and more expansive presentation," Brechard said.
