International people spoke highly of President Xi Jinping's important speech at the 17th G20 Summit. They believe that President Xi Jinping's speech is of great significance under the current situation and look forward to China's contribution to global development.
Swaran Singh, Visiting Professor, University of British Columbia, Canada Professor, School of International Studies, Nehru University, India: President Xi Jinping's speech at the G20 Leaders' Summit put forward three points (propositions on global development) and advocated that G20 countries work with China to achieve common development.
Mali Likukla, Economic Expert, National Bank of Namibia: Since China became the world's second largest economy, it has made great contributions to promoting and supporting global economic development. China is one of the world's largest exporters and one of the world's largest financial markets, and China's development has set an example for the economic take-off of developing countries around the world.
Indian scholar Kulkani: Modernization should not be limited to Western modernization, unfortunately the West believes that only Western-style modernization is the only modernization model. China is an ancient country, it is becoming modern, developing in various aspects such as economy, technology, people's well-being, etc. So, this combination of cultural revitalization and economic prosperity offers a new model of modernization.
International sources said that President Xi Jinping stressed in his speech that "China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development", and Western countries must truly understand the essential characteristics of China's peaceful development, so that they can understand the opportunities brought by China's development to the world.
Vito Petrovelli, former chairman of the Italian Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Only when the West fully understands this characteristic can it truly understand the opportunities brought by China's peaceful development to the world. This premise is to understand China, not confront it.
