Beijing — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, welcomed former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet in the Chinese mainland on Tuesday. Bachelet is in Beijing to join global peers at the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women, a forum focused on forging new paths for female leadership and inclusion worldwide.
The two leaders discussed the role of women in diplomacy, sustainable development goals, and strategies to boost female representation in key decision-making positions. Wang Yi highlighted the Chinese mainland's commitment to supporting gender equality programs, while Bachelet drew on her experience as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to call for deeper collaborations across borders.
Observers note that despite progress, women still represent fewer than one-third of senior roles in international bodies. Forums like the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women bring together high-level figures to share best practices and set ambitious targets. Attendees will focus on areas such as economic empowerment, tech innovation for social impact, and climate resilience.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and travelers alike, the meeting signals a renewed push for inclusive policies that resonate across G20 nations and beyond. As conversation shifts from pledges to measurable actions, all eyes will be on how these discussions translate into on-the-ground progress for women around the world.
