Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen!<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFor Asia, it is the responsibility of all of us to maintain peace and security in the region to ensure that poverty alleviation does not reverse course and that future development with shared prosperity can be better fostered. Asia has made great strides in development and served as an engine of growth, especially during a difficult period when the global economy was at its lowest in three decades. Asia\u2019s robust economic growth and position as the world\u2019s manufacturing and trade epicenter have given it an important global role. Despite the recent global economic slowdown and supply chain reconfiguration, Asia as a whole is still expected to contribute 60% of global real GDP growth in the coming year.<\/p>\n
In this regard, it is essential for our region to work together to maintain this positive momentum. Our actions should be guided by the principles of rule-based multilateralism that work for all of us, not just any particular group of nations. We should continue to strive for deeper integration and better connectivity, rather than\u200b decoupling and disruption. We must recognize that the principles of multilateralism have underpinned globalization, sustainable development and poverty reduction, tangible benefits for the world so far.<\/p>\n
I would like to take this opportunity to commend China for its role as a global leader in shouldering a heavy responsibility in supporting the growth of other nations, from Asia to Africa to Latin America. The Belt and Road Initiative has supported the construction of public goods in different continents. These basic infrastructures are an integral part of the development and poverty reduction efforts for the people in the beneficiary countries, including Cambodia. We must recognize that China\u2019s model of growth and development has allowed other nations to prosper with it, not at the expense of others.<\/p>\n
It is our shared responsibility to foster common growth based on a multilateral, rule-based international order that gives all countries, large and small, the opportunity to shine, grow and have their voices heard. We must endeavor to uphold multilateralism that supports the interest of the entire community of nations so that the peoples of the world can enjoy peace and a better quality of life.<\/p>\n
I would like to conclude my speech by wishing the Boao Forum for Asia continued success and fruitful deliberations in the interest of the world.<\/p>\n
