Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a powerful message on Friday: \"What the Asia-Pacific needs is development, not turbulence\". Speaking during a meeting with UN ESCAP Executive Secretary Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana in Beijing, Wang emphasized regional cooperation as key to progress.
🔊 \"The emphasis should be on cooperation, not division,\" Wang stated, framing ESCAP (the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia-Pacific) as the region's most vital multilateral platform. The veteran diplomat, who also serves on the Communist Party of China Central Committee's Political Bureau, highlighted China's long-standing partnership with the organization.
🌱 With over 60% of the world's youth living in Asia-Pacific countries and regions, Wang's remarks resonate with young professionals and entrepreneurs eyeing economic opportunities. His call for stability comes as the region faces challenges ranging from climate change to tech innovation gaps.
