Xi stresses placing development at center of intl agenda

Xi calls for sincere, concerted efforts to boost development

Xi called for sincere and concerted efforts to boost development, build an open world economy, and construct a fairer and more just global governance system and institutional environment.

Xi said practicing protectionism and forming small cliques will only end up hurting and isolating oneself.

He said any country that imposes maximum sanctions will only hurt itself and others. Seeking decoupling and blocking supply chains will not work, Xi added.

Xi calls for supporting UN's coordinating role in global development cooperation

Xi also noted that countries should encourage the industrial and commercial sectors, social organizations, media and think tanks to participate in global development cooperation.
