On May 24, President Xi Jinping was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Second Eurasian Economic Forum of the Eurasian Economic Union by video and delivered a speech, which aroused enthusiastic responses among people from all walks of life such as member states and observer states of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is generally believed that President Xi Jinping's speech demonstrated China's determination to share development opportunities, seek common development and prosperity and create a better future with all countries in the world, including member states and observer states of the Eurasian Economic Union, injected important impetus into promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and the construction of the Eurasian Economic Union, and gathered confidence and strength to create a new situation in Asia-Europe cooperation, promote regional and world peace and development, and build a community with a shared future for mankind.

"Injecting more stability into the complex international situation"

President Xi Jinping pointed out that the world today is undergoing major changes unprecedented in a century, and the historical trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization is unstoppable. Adhering to genuine multilateralism and promoting coordinated regional development is the broad consensus of the international community.

Sergei Sanakoyev, director of the Russian Asia-Pacific Research Center, said that the challenges facing the world today are endless, and the behavior of individual countries in pursuing their own selfish interests and inciting separatism and confrontation goes against the trend of history. China has always firmly upheld and practiced true multilateralism and demonstrated its responsibility as a major country. Strengthening coordination and cooperation between Russia and China in multilateral arenas such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS and the United Nations is conducive to promoting the process of multipolarization of the world.

"President Xi Jinping's speech injects more stability into the complex international situation and gathers a strong synergy for all countries to jointly promote the multipolarization of the world." Tarasbek Mashrapov, associate professor of the Department of Oriental Studies and International Relations at the Bishkek State University in Kyrgyzstan, said that at present, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the global economy is struggling to recover. Only by strengthening solidarity and cooperation can all countries in the world, including Asian and European countries, effectively cope with challenges and overcome difficulties together. China has actively promoted the building of a new type of international relations, built an open world economy, and made important contributions to reforming and improving the global governance system.

Ulugbek Khasanov, director of the Regional Security and Conflict Research Office of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy of Uzbekistan, said that the deeper participation of developing countries in Asia and Europe in international cooperation is the proper meaning of promoting the development of economic globalization. As an observer state of the Eurasian Economic Union, Uzbekistan is eager to seize more development opportunities. China advocates open development and unswervingly expands high-level opening-up, not only achieving rapid development itself, but also sharing opportunities with other countries and achieving common development through platforms such as the "Belt and Road". This will help consolidate the foundation of global development and promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction.

"Chinese solutions and wisdom bring well-being to the people of the world"

Eurasia is the most populous, state-rich and most diverse region in the world. In the face of a turbulent and changing world, how should Asia-Europe cooperation go? President Xi Jinping stressed that China's answer to such a question of the times and history is clear. I have successively put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, calling on all countries to work together to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness and beauty, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"At a time when unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise and economic globalization is encountering adverse currents, the implementation of global development initiatives is of great significance to promoting world economic recovery." Professor Alexei Alexey Aleksakhin of the Moscow Institute of International Relations in Russia said that President Xi Jinping's speech fully shows that China has always worked hand in hand with Asian and European countries and other countries to seek common development, and through mutually beneficial cooperation such as the "Belt and Road", it has effectively helped developing countries improve their independent development capabilities, injecting strong impetus into narrowing the global North-South gap and building a more just and reasonable international order.

"China's solutions and wisdom bring well-being to the people of the world." Khasanov said that at present, some Western countries are exacerbating conflicts and tensions for the sake of hegemony and selfish interests, shaking the foundation of world peace, and making the international security situation face severe challenges. The Global Security Initiative is in line with the common aspirations of all countries to achieve lasting peace and universal security, and will certainly make more contributions to eliminating the peace deficit and achieving long-term peace and stability.

Anna Donchenko, a researcher at the Chinese Culture Research Center of the Institute of Chinese and Contemporary Asian Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the global civilization initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping conforms to the trend of the times and will promote exchanges, mutual learning and inclusive coexistence among different civilizations. Eurasia is the most diverse region of civilization in the world. All countries should jointly support and implement this important initiative, reduce conflicts and confrontations, work together to address global challenges, jointly achieve development and modernization, and work together to move towards a bright future of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"Opening up a 'happy road' that benefits all countries and the world"

This year marks the 10th anniversary of President Xi Jinping's proposal to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. President Xi Jinping stressed in his speech that as a member of the Asia-Europe family, China's development is inseparable from and benefits the Asia-Europe region. China sincerely hopes that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and the construction of the Eurasian Economic Union will deepen the docking and cooperation, and all countries will unite and cooperate with one heart to create a new situation in Asia-Europe cooperation.

President Xi Jinping pointed out that the fundamental starting point and foothold of this initiative is to explore new ways for the common development of distant relatives and neighbors, and open up a 'happy road' that benefits all countries and the world." As an important co-construction country, Russia has benefited a lot. Vitaly Mankevich, chairman of the Russian Union of Asian Industrial Entrepreneurs, said that in recent years, Russia and China have continued to deepen the docking of the Eurasian Economic Union and jointly build the "Belt and Road", the level of cross-border infrastructure connectivity, trade and investment liberalization and facilitation between Russia and China has been continuously improved, and the volume and quality of cooperation between the two sides have been continuously improved, which has continued to inject vitality into the regional and world economic development. "Russian companies look forward to exploring the potential of cooperation with Chinese partners to achieve greater development."

Alexei Sokol, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus, said that the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping is committed to promoting the interconnection and common development of all countries and has become a popular platform for international cooperation. Belarus and China have achieved fruitful cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative, and a large number of key projects in the fields of Belarus-China Industrial Park, machinery manufacturing, automobiles and agriculture have provided important impetus for the healthy development of Belarus's economy. It is believed that in the future, Belarus and the CCP will better benefit the two peoples in building the "Belt and Road" cooperation.

"Jointly building the Belt and Road is a vivid practice of building a community with a shared future for mankind." Rahim Osakbayev, director of Kazakhstan's "Tarrap" Applied Research Center, said that under the framework of jointly building the "Belt and Road", China has carried out extensive cooperation with other countries, including Central Asian countries, in accordance with the principle of consultation, joint construction and sharing, and does not attach any political conditions. Many cooperation projects in infrastructure, economy, trade and investment are of great significance to the development of countries in the region, and relevant countries generally look forward to deeper participation in the construction of the "Belt and Road" to achieve greater mutual benefit and win-win results.

"President Xi Jinping once again stressed the importance of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative, which is heartening." Ani Garsqiang, a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the Russian-Armenian University, said that Armenia is one of the first countries to support and participate in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, cooperation between Asia and China in the fields of economy, trade, infrastructure and culture has flourished and achieved remarkable results, creating favorable conditions for Armenia's sustainable economic and social development. "I believe that in the future, Asia and China will continue to promote high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road, further release the huge potential of bilateral cooperation, and better benefit the two peoples."
