In March 2023, the Chinese President Xi Jinping introduced the Global Civilization Initiative, complementing the previously launched Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative. These initiatives aim to address worldwide challenges and foster international cooperation.
Former European Council President Herman Van Rompuy highlighted the importance of these initiatives, stating that both China and the EU play pivotal roles in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. He emphasized that collaborative efforts between major global players are essential for achieving these ambitious targets.
Van Rompuy's acknowledgment underscores a shared vision for a sustainable future, where economic growth, security, and cultural exchange align with the broader objectives of global development.
