Posters: Jointly advocating an equal and orderly multipolar world and making global governance more just and equitable

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday called on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to shoulder the responsibility of the times and work together to advance a more just and equitable global governance.

Xi made the remarks in his speech at the "SCO Plus" meeting in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek.

Here are the highlights of the speech:

--Currently, major changes unseen in a century are accelerating across the globe. Hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism are resurging against historical trends.

--In recent years, the rise of the Global South is driving a profound shift in the international balance of power. The trend toward a multipolar world is irreversible.

--The international community should build consensus and make the right choice that can stand the test of practice and history. As a responsible major country, China advocates for an equal and orderly multipolar world.

--Sovereign equality and mutual respect are fundamental principles.

--Balance, order and the rule of law are inherent requirements.

--Multilateralism, dialogue and consultation are essential pathways.

--Mutual benefit, win-win, and inclusiveness are the way forward for development.

--First, we should advance common prosperity in the vast continent straddling Asia and Europe with the SCO Strength.

--Second, we should promote the development and rise of the Global South through the SCO Wisdom.

--Third, we should guide the reform and improvement of global governance through the SCO Action.

--Let us take the people-centered and action-oriented approach, jointly advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world, make global governance more just and equitable, and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
