We need to work together to promote economic recovery. China will follow through the pledged donation of 600 million and 150 million doses of vaccines to Africa and ASEAN countries respectively, as part of our effort to close the immunization gap. Be it in delivering vaccines abroad or producing them overseas, China has honored its commitments with concrete actions. China has provided over 2.1 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations. We must keep COVID vaccines a global public good and ensure their accessibility and affordability in developing countries. It is essential that countries support each other, better coordinate response measures and improve global public health governance, so as to form strong international synergy against the pandemic. For humanity to clinch a final victory against the COVID-19 pandemic, more hard efforts are needed. Safety and health are the prerequisite for human development and progress. We need to work together to defend people's lives and health. The hardships and challenges are yet another reminder that humanity is a community with a shared future where all people rise and fall together, and that all countries need to follow the trend of the times featuring peace, development and win-win cooperation, move in the direction of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and rise to challenges and build a bright future through cooperation. Over the past two years and more, the international community has been working extremely hard to respond to the COVID-19 challenge and boost global recovery and development. Instead, we must firm up confidence and press ahead against all odds.įor us to break through the mist and embrace a bright future, the biggest strength comes from cooperation and the most effective way is through solidarity. Faced with the many challenges, we must not lose confidence, hesitate or flinch. No difficulties could ever stop the wheel of history. Problems are not to be afraid of, as it is one problem after another that have driven the progress of human society. Viewed in such a context, the theme of this year's Annual Conference "The World in COVID-19 & Beyond: Working Together for Global Development and Shared Future" cannot be more relevant.Īs an ancient Chinese adage goes, "One must not change his commitment or give up his pursuit even in the face of danger and risk." A review of human history teaches us that the more difficult things get, the greater the need grows to stay confident. While governance deficit in areas like climate change has hardly been addressed, new issues such as digital governance are also vying for attention. The weak and faltering global economic recovery is compounded by a widening development gap. We have yet to walk from the shadow of a once-in-a-century pandemic, but new traditional security risks are already emerging. These changes are posing challenges that must be taken seriously by humanity. Right now, changes of the world, of our times and of history are unfolding in ways like never before. I want to begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government and people and also in my own name, hearty welcome to all participating guests and warm congratulations on the convening of the Annual Conference. It gives me great pleasure to once again join friends old and new online for the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022.
