Spokesperson's Remarks｜China has been largest driving force for global economic growth

In recent years, China has been the largest driving force for global economic growth with its contribution to it at around 30 percent over the years, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday.

Guo made the remarks at a regular press conference in response to a report released recently by the Munich Security Conference on multipolarization. The report noted that China is the world's most prominent advocate of a new multipolar order and upholds an equal and orderly multipolar world.

"According to the survey conducted by the Munich Security Conference, internationally, more and more people see the world as becoming multipolar. We believe that multipolarization is the underlying trend of today's world and an unstoppable trend of our times." Guo said.

Guo further noted that China stands for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally-beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. China is committed to practicing true multilateralism, work for greater democracy in international relations and call for countries around the world to jointly safeguard the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter, uphold fairness and justice, and play a constructive role in resolving international and regional hotspot issues. China upholds win-win cooperation. As it firmly boosts its high-quality development, China continues to advance high-level opening-up, promote liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, and keep the global industrial and supply chains stable and smooth.

Guo pointed out that the world today is confronted with multiple challenges. It is all the more important for countries around the world to have closer cooperation. China is ready to work with all parties to follow the trend of the times, share opportunities, overcome challenges and promote development together, build a community with a shared future for mankind and make greater contributions to safeguarding and promoting world peace, stability, development and prosperity. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
