"Decoupling and disruption of industrial and supply chains will only exacerbate the crisis, while suppression and containment will only end up hurting others as well as oneself. If the world returns to a primeval jungle where the strong prey on the weak, it will mark a step backward in history and a tragedy for humanity. As a responsible major country, China will firmly stand on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice. Amid the winds and waves of the times, we must be righteous and walk the right path. We must be unwaveringly committed to economic globalization, practice genuine multilateralism, and strive to contribute certainty and stability to global peace and development."

Chinese Premier Li Qiang emphasized China's unwavering commitment to advancing economic globalization and upholding multilateralism in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the China Development Forum 2025 in Beijing on Sunday.

While addressing the opening ceremony of the two-day forum, Li said China remains committed to providing certainty and stability for global peace and development.

"Decoupling and disruption of industrial and supply chains will only exacerbate the crisis, while suppression and containment will only end up hurting others as well as oneself. If the world returns to a primeval jungle where the strong prey on the weak, it will mark a step backward in history and a tragedy for humanity. As a responsible major country, China will firmly stand on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice. Amid the winds and waves of the times, we must be righteous and walk the right path. We must be unwaveringly committed to economic globalization, practice genuine multilateralism, and strive to contribute certainty and stability to global peace and development," said Li.

Li also stressed in his speech that China has huge potential for domestic economic circulation, innovation and creativity and economic transformation.

The China Development Forum 2025 is being held on March 23 and 24 under the theme "Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Growth of Global Economy".

This year's forum features 12 symposiums and several closed-door sessions, covering topics such as healthcare, consumption, AI and sustainable supply chains.
