Diversity should be the driving force of human society as well as the natural form of the multifaceted human civilization, said Chinese President Xi Jinping at the General Debate of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly Tuesday.

The Chinese President delivered a speech via a video link on Tuesday, in which he talked about the revelation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The pandemic dawned upon us that we are living in an interconnected global village that shares weal and woe. People of all countries are closely connected, with a shared future. No one can profit from the difficulties of other countries, nor can they secure stability out of others' turmoil," said Xi.

President Xi called on all countries to consider themselves part of a community with a shared future, and to jump out of the circle of a zero-sum game mindset, and instead move forward with a cooperative and win-win attitude.

He stressed that all countries should set aside ideology, controversy, and not fall into the trap of a so-called clash of civilizations.

"We should show mutual respect in countries' choices of their own paths and patterns in development, and allow diversity to become the inexhaustible driving force of the human society, as well as the natural form of the multifaceted human civilization," said Xi.
