The message is clear that China's door for cooperation at the regional and global levels is open and the opening will continue.

In this world, there are a bundle of opportunities for sustainable progress and common development that can resound among all countries that look forward to meaningful cooperation based on mutual consultation and a win-win situation.

Xi's speech shows that it is time for cooperation, not confrontation, and the need of the time is to promote a world order that can bring benefits for all, not just some.

The international community needs inclusive, positive and bold initiatives that can respond responsibly to the concerns and challenges faced by the world.

The significance of international cooperation based on global norms, values and traditions carries great value for forming policies related to people's well-being.

Xi's speech has also offered valuable contributions to and proposals for multilateral cooperation.

The consistent cooperation and coordination among all under the framework of global cooperation may contribute to the growth of developing countries by promoting the concept of equality and fairness.

Xi also emphasized developing a new type of international relations based on settled international rules and regulations, justice and mutual respect.

China's resolve, as seen in Xi's speech to the UN General Assembly, has remained clear that a global governance system with the basic norms of international values will be safeguarded and promoted under the UN Charter for developing a safer and greener world.

Resistance to protectionism and unilateralism needs to be strengthened. It has become clear that the importance of multilateralism and collaboration is emerging as a trend of the times that can guarantee long-desired prosperity and development.

The problems of our times need global solutions with collective efforts, and that is only possible with a mechanism for fair governance to tackle the impacts of climate change, poverty, inequality and violent extremism.

President Xi's call for multilateralism in bringing the world together is significantly inspiring the global community, as China consistently fulfills its responsibilities in common endeavors and remains a faithful partner of UN values.
