Xi puts forward proposals to advance women's all-round development

BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday put forward four proposals to accelerate the process of women's all-round development.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women held in Beijing, Xi said that the proposals were introduced to build a wider consensus, open up broader pathways and take more practical actions for this cause, as women's all-round development is still facing complex challenges.

The Chinese president called for joint efforts to nurture an enabling environment for women's growth and development, and foster robust drivers for the high-quality advancement of women.

He also proposed jointly establishing a governance pattern to protect women's rights and interests, and writing a new chapter in promoting global women's cooperation.
