Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized international collaboration during a high-profile meeting with parliamentary leaders from developing nations in Beijing this week. The gathering marked the 40th anniversary of the National People's Congress' ties with the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and focused on advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
🌐 'We Are All Members of the Global South'
Xi welcomed leaders from across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, framing their partnerships as a shared vision among 'good brothers' striving for equitable development. 'The world is changing fast,' he noted, advocating for a 'multi-polar world' and inclusive globalization to tackle challenges like climate change and economic inequality.
📜 Legislative Diplomacy in Action
The president highlighted the role of legislative bodies in fostering trust and cooperation between nations, calling them key drivers of 'a community with a shared future for humanity.' He also briefed attendees on recent policy directions outlined at the CPC Central Committee's third plenary session in July.
With over 100 countries represented, the event underscored China's push to strengthen ties with developing economies—a move analysts say could reshape global governance frameworks in the coming decade.
