Only by strengthening solidarity and cooperation can the international community move towards a better future.First, it is essential to uphold multilateralism. In the current era of rising?instability?and change, the international community needs true multilateralism more than ever. All countries should abide by international law and the basic norms of international relations, jointly defend the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, uphold?the international consensus on the one-China principle and preserve the outcome?of the victory in World War II, and accelerate the building of a more fair and reasonable global governance system.Second, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation.

We should reinforce cooperation, pursue win-win results, and promote inclusive economic globalization to ensure that people share the fruits of development and enable all countries to achieve common prosperity.Third, it is important to take pragmatic actions.

Collective attention?and support?from all nations?is needed for their implementation.Zhang Guozhi expressed that Guangdong Province has always embraced the spirit of "For Global Cooperation and Solidarity", acting on?the concept of solidarity through its development and pursuing?win-win results through opening-up and cooperation.
