BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — The Chinese model is a model of peace, development and respect for civilizational diversity, Chairman of the People's Party of Kazakhstan Yermukhamet Yertysbayev told Xinhua on Friday on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Global Dialogue of Civilizations.
"Chinese policy is diametrically different from the policy of Western countries. The West sells or imposes on other countries not cooperation, but subordination and protection of its own interests at their expense. China advocates equal partnership, common development and prosperity," said E. Yertysbayev, noting that this is the wisdom of a great civilization and great culture that has been around for thousands of years.
E. Yertysbayev stated that, given the events that have taken place since the end of the 20th century, there is something to compare with. “China is building roads, ports, universities and cultural centers… China is bringing new technologies and education to other countries, not provocations and color revolutions. Instead of sanctions – investments. Instead of ultimatums – partnership. Instead of ideological dictate – acceptance of the diversity of cultures of different ethnic groups,” he explained.
The politician cited the Belt and Road Initiative as an example, which, according to him, is a gigantic mega-project of the 21st century. “I would like to note that the main thing here is not even the economic component, but the new, amazing and stunning ethical side of the project’s implementation,” he emphasized.
As noted by E. Yertysbayev, the international transport corridor that China is creating is a full-fledged economic foundation for an absolutely new model of international cooperation and development. “Each partner country is a link in the general system, part of a single practical mechanism “Belt and Road”, working for the benefit of all participating states,” he said.
The agency's interlocutor is convinced that, in addition to the economy, the Belt and Road initiative makes a huge contribution to the dialogue and rapprochement of civilizations from Beijing to the Middle East, from the Yellow Sea in China to the Mediterranean Sea in Europe. "This is not just an economic corridor, but a civilizational bridge connecting the East and West, North and South. This is a dialogue of cultures, and not the imposition of foreign conditions," Yertysbayev emphasized.
"Our generation must pass a maturity test. Will we be able to build a world where every nation is respected? Will we be able to understand and accept others' cultures while preserving our own? Will we be able to create a world of equal civilizations together? The People's Republic of China is showing us a worthy example of this," he concluded.
The Ministerial Meeting of the Global Dialogue of Civilizations on “Preserving the Diversity of Human Civilizations for World Peace and Development” is being held in Beijing on July 10-11. The event is attended by over 600 guests from about 140 countries and territories. –0–
