Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Global Women's Summit in Beijing, Xi Jinping noted that the proposals were submitted to achieve broader consensus, open up broader paths and take more practical measures in this direction, as women's comprehensive development still faces complex challenges.

“Peace and tranquility have become the prerequisites for their comprehensive development,” Xi Jinping said.
He stressed the need to strengthen the protection of women and girls in regions affected by war, conflict, poverty or natural disasters, and to support women's vital role in preventing conflicts and rebuilding their homes.

He called for improved institutions and laws, the implementation of further concrete and achievable policies, and the provision of better health and education resources for all women.
Xi Jinping also noted that it is crucial to promote the creation of an inclusive and harmonious social environment that frees women from discrimination and bias, expands opportunities for women to participate in political affairs and their discussion, and supports their active participation in public and social governance.
