NEW PARTNERSHIP AND A COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED FUTURE

opportunities for exchange, exchange fosters integration, and integration
generates progress.
Different cultures must be accepting of their differences when they
interact with each other. Only through mutual respect, mutual learning,
and harmonious coexistence can the world maintain its rich diversity and
thrive. Each culture represents the aggregate of its people’s wisdom and
contributions, and no culture is superior to another. Different cultures
should conduct dialogue and exchange with each other rather than trying
to exclude or supplant each other. Human history is a grand tapestry
adorned with exchange, learning, and integration between different
cultures. We should respect all cultures and treat each other as equals,
drawing inspiration from one another to push forward the creative
development of human civilization.
We should build an environmental system that puts nature and
green development first.
Humankind may take advantage of nature and even transform it,
but in the end we are still a part of nature. We must therefore protect
it and never place ourselves above it. We must effectively address
the environmental problems brought about by industrial civilization,
and make harmony between humans and nature our objective in
order to achieve sustainable world development and all-round human
development.
Building an ecological civilization is vital for the future of
humanity, and all members of the international community should
work together toward this goal. We must build awareness of the need
to respect, protect, and adapt to nature, and remain committed to the
path of green, low-carbon, circular, and sustainable development. In
this regard, China will abide by its responsibilities and continue making
its own contributions. At the same time, we urge developed countries to
undertake this historic responsibility, honor their commitments to reduce
emissions, and help developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate
change.

Mr. President,
Colleagues,
