BEIJING, Jan 25 (INP): Speakers at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos lauded the President Xi Jinping’s thoughts of shared destiny for having a better future for entire humanity, says reports reaching here. Xi Jinping proposed building "a community of shared future for mankind" in January 2017 during a speech at the United Nations Office in Geneva, offering China's solutions to cope with global challenges. Since then, China has taken a leading role on economic globalization and the fight against climate change. Even the theme of this year's WEF - Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World - appears to have been inspired by Xi's thought. At the forum in Davos, Switzerland this week, a series of speakers echoed China's ethos on globalization, urging the world to shun protectionism and continue to bring down barriers to trade. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will pursue new opportunities to sign free trade agreements with other countries as he urged the world to seek growth that works for everyone. The Chinese concept of building a human community with shared destiny was also incorporated into a resolution at the 55th session of UN Commission for Social Development. Since then, the idea has been carried forward in the UN Security Council, the Human Rights Council and the first committee of the UN General Assembly, turning the concept into an international consensus. More than 80 countries have signed agreements to cooperate with China on its Belt and Road initiative. Seventy-five economic cooperation zones have been established with 24 countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt, with Chinese enterprises investing over $50 billion overseas, creating nearly 200,000 jobs in foreign countries, the China Central Television reported.
