Wang Yi hails the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind

Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Thursday said he is pleased to see that the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind has developed from an initiative to a consensus, from a vision to practice, and is driving positive changes in today's world.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks during an inaugural ceremony of the Research Center on Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind in Beijing.

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is China's answer to the question of "what kind of world to build and how to build it" and has considerable theoretical value, great significance for the times and far-reaching global influence, Wang said.

The vision of a community with a shared future for mankind demonstrates the founding mission of the CPC, carries forward the fine traditions of Chinese culture, demonstrates the power of scientific theories and expounds on China's stance in the face of changes unseen in a century, he noted.

"At present, dozens of countries and regions have been working with China to build a community of shared future in various forms," Wang said, adding that the building of a community with a shared future for mankind has been written into many UN General Assembly resolutions and multilateral documents.
