Chinese President Xi Jinping's four-day visit to Switzerland and his speech at the 2017 World Economic Forum (WEF) have shown the world China's wisdom and confidence against the backdrop of a sluggish global economy and rising anti-globalization sentiment, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters on Thursday in Beijing.
Wang said that while addressing the opening plenary of the 2017 annual meeting of the WEF at the Swiss ski resort of Davos on Tuesday, Xi called for joint efforts to shoulder the responsibility of the times and promote global development.
At the Davos Forum, the Chinese president illustrated the objective necessity of economic globalization, Wang said. Though globalization has met with structural difficulties, Xi, in pointing out China's economic success, emphasized the necessity of "swimming in the ocean" of the world market and pro-actively adapting to globalization.
However, according to Wang, Xi also said that economic globalization is a double-edged sword, pointing to a lack of robust driving forces for global growth, adequate economic governance, and uneven global development.
Xi stressed the importance of developing a dynamic innovation-driven growth model featuring open and win-win cooperation, fair and equitable governance, and balanced, equitable and inclusive development.
At the WEF, Xi pointed out that China is not only the beneficiary of economic globalization, but also a contributor to it. China's development will continue to offer opportunities to business communities in other countries, he pledged.
China will keep its door wide open, Xi told the forum, voicing the hope that other countries will also keep their doors open to Chinese investors and keep the playing field level for them.
Xi's subsequent visit to the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) was not only the first by a Chinese head of state in the 21st century, but also a significant move of China's multilateral diplomacy, said Wang.
During the visit to the UNOG, Xi met President of the 71st UN General Assembly Peter Thomson and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and delivered a keynote speech at the Palace of Nations.
With a vision on the future and destiny of mankind and the trend of the development of times, Xi expounded on the concept of building a community of shared future for all, which is the core of China's foreign policy in the new era, said the foreign minister.
During his visit to the headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Xi witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between China and WHO on health cooperation under the framework of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, which was the first of its kind China has signed with a UN body. This would play a guiding and demonstrative role for other international organizations to join the initiative later on, according to Wang.
At the invitation of Margaret Chan, director-general of WHO, and UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibe, Professor Peng Liyuan, President Xi's wife, attended a ceremony held for her to renew her appointment as goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS on Wednesday in Geneva.
UNAIDS presented Professor Peng with the UNAIDS Award for Outstanding Achievement on Wednesday in recognition of her remarkable contribution to the global response to HIV/AIDS.
When visiting the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Lausanne, Xi had cordial talks with IOC President Thomas Bach, saying China has already successfully hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympics and is preparing for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Xi has conveyed a clear message to the world that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be a very successful event, according to Wang.
During Xi's meeting with Swiss President Doris Leuthard, they explored issues of bilateral ties and common interest and agreed to maintain high-level exchanges, consolidate political trust, strengthen strategic coordination, deepen pragmatic cooperation, make more frequent and closer coordination on international and regional issues, and join hands to safeguard world peace and stability, said Wang.
The foreign minister said that under the current turbulent international situation, the success story of Sino-Swiss cooperation shows that countries of different social systems and development stages can achieve mutually beneficial development if they respect each other and seek common ground while shelving differences.
Wang noted that Switzerland was among the first European countries to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China.
The two governments signed a new MoU on setting up a platform for dialogue between the two countries on innovation strategies, which would work as a new cooperative mechanism to supervise and coordinate the progress of innovation cooperation in all fields, said the foreign minister.
Wang said the free trade agreement (FTA) between China and Switzerland, which entered into force in 2014 as the first between China and a European nation, has become the engine for increasing the quality and efficiency of pragmatic cooperation.
During Xi's visit, the two sides agreed to start joint research on upgrading the FTA and to begin talks on it as early as possible.
The two sides are also committed to expanding cooperation in areas of trade, investment, finance, insurance, environmental protection and customs, while jointly promoting the Belt and Road Initiative through multilateral platforms like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, said Wang.
Wang said that Xi made a visit to only one nation, but aimed at the whole world with emphasis on both bilateral and multilateral ties, and dedication to both peace and development at the same time, thus completing the opening chapter of China's 2017 diplomacy.
