PARIS, March 25-- Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi put forward a three-pronged proposal for seeking a global governance solution that is fairer, more effective and conforms to the trends of history here on Monday. Wang who has been accompanying Chinese President Xi Jinping on a state visit to France made the remarks at an opening ceremony of a global governance forum co-hosted by China and France. The international community is looking forward to seeing China and France, two major countries, join efforts to promote world peace and progress while the global landscape has been undergoing changes, Wang said. "We are living at a time full of both opportunities and challenges," Wang said, adding that the relationships between countries are ever closer and exchanges between peoples are easier. In the meantime, Wang said, the world is beset with lack of driving forces for economic growth, an ever more prominent gap in development, a cold war mentality and unilateralism. Wang, against such a back drop, put forward a three-pronged proposal to the forum attended by some 200 people from business circles and think tanks of China and France. He called for candid consultations, sincere communications, in-depth exchanges and mutual learning among countries for thoughts, wisdom and consensus to improve the global governance. He underlined cooperation and a spirit of win-win and mutually beneficial partnership, calling for thorough discussions on cooperation between China and France in such areas as connectivity, World Trade Organization reform and digital governance. |
