BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — The Global South has become a key driving force in advancing a multipolar world, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.
The collective rise of countries in the Global South is a striking feature of the dramatic changes in the world, with their share of the global economy growing from 24 percent to more than 40 percent over the past 40 years, Wang Yi noted at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC).
Today, when hegemony and power politics are becoming widespread and seriously damaging the international order, countries in the Global South should step up cooperation and coordination, jointly protect their legitimate rights and interests, and work together to expand space for independent development, the minister urged.
The Global South, he pointed out, is a new, positive and peaceful force on the international stage.
“In a changing and increasingly turbulent world, we must strengthen trust and solidarity, unite and work together to promote peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit,” he said.
China always cares about the interests of the Global South, Wang Yi said, expressing China's readiness to walk hand in hand with other countries in the Global South on the path to modernization and the creation of a community with a shared future for mankind. -0-
