STORYLINE:

International experts have said China's vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind will boost world development amid challenges.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): PETER KAGWANJA, CEO of Africa Policy Institute
"Solidarity for development, solidarity to confront epidemics, solidarity to eradicate poverty, and solidarity to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This is where now the Chinese leadership came up with this idea of building a community of shared destiny for mankind."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): SHAKEEL AHMAD RAMAY, CEO of Asian Institute of Eco-civilization Research and Development
"China believes in diversity, diversity in terms of values, ethics, religious beliefs, and national governance systems or development path. So China does not want to dictate any other country to follow China. China is coming up when you are building a relationship, believe in diversity, give them space, and respect other peoples, their beliefs, their values, and their governance system. In this context, build a relationship on the basis of win-win cooperation and by respecting each other. I think this is the formula that can help move the world toward the goal of a community with a shared future."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): LEVENTE HORVATH, Director of Eurasia Center of John von Neumann University in Hungary
"I thought it (the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind) was very representative, representing China's efforts for world peace, cooperation, and harmony. Every civilization has its own history, culture and religion. In the 21st century, we cannot consider the policies of other countries from the perspective of Western thinking. These initiatives proposed by China all hope that different countries and civilizations in the world can understand and cooperate with each other."
