I have long been observing that under the dynamic and humanistic leadership of President Xi Jinping, China is tirelessly working for the welfare of humanity. The country is taking the lead in building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The dream of President Xi is about establishing a win-win and prosperous and peaceful world, where no side will be a loser and every side is guaranteed to be a gainer. To carry the dream ahead, the president came up with the major global concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. The concept has been included in the preamble of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China when the Constitution was amended in 2018. It was also incorporated by the United Nations into the resolution of the UN Commission for Social Development in 2017.

The world has witnessed how, thanks to pragmatic efforts by China, the concept has gained ground all over the world. Many nations have already joined hands with China to build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world.

To implement the concept widely hailed by the international community, President Xi has eventually put forward a win-win cooperation approach named Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Over the past decade, the BRI has galvanized nearly one trillion USD of investment, established more than 3,000 cooperation projects, created 420,000 local jobs, and helped lift almost 40 million people out of poverty in its member countries across the globe.

In line with the concept of a shared future, China has proposed the Global Security Initiative, advocating a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.

China has also rolled out such cooperation platforms as the China International Import Expo and put forward the Global Development Initiative.

Independent observers said that to build a shared future for mankind, President Xi has come up with the initiatives at a time when the entire world is paying high prices for the clash of civilizations. Experts think that since the current world is fraught with many thorny issues including geopolitical tensions and conflicts, the constructive China-led initiatives have turned out to be perfect alternatives, making the world look forward to peaceful development.

I believe that the China-proposed concept has also contributed to bringing people closer to promoting economic globalization that is open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial to all. It has especially helped some countries work together to eliminate poverty and backwardness.
