Quoting Xi’s statement that China is “a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order,” Kawa Mahmoud, president of the Iraq-headquartered Global Civilization Initiative Research Center, said China’s commitment to multilateralism is particularly valuable at a time when unilateralism is on the rise. Wirun Phichaiwongphakdee, director of the Thailand-China Research Center of the Belt and Road Initiative, stressed Xi’s vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and that the four global initiatives reflect the CPC’s global responsibility and contribute Chinese wisdom to human progress.
