China neither walks away from agreements or pulls out of organizations, nor does it ask other countries to pick sides, and it has always been a staunch supporter of multilateralism, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said here Tuesday at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2024.
The theme of this year’s meeting, “Rebuilding Trust,” echoes well with people’s concerns, said Li as he delivered a special address to the event hosted by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF.
Trust comes from our shared aspiration for a better future for mankind and from our common will to work together for it, Li said.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping noted, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation, yet the overall direction of human development and progress will not change, the overall dynamics of world history moving forward amid twists and turns will not change, and the overall trend toward a shared future for the international community will not change, Li said.
