On the morning of November 18 local time, President Xi Jinping attended the 19th G20 Leaders' Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

　　During the first phase of the summit, focusing on the topic of "Combating Hunger and Poverty," Xi Jinping delivered an important speech titled "Building a Just World of Common Development."

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that the world is undergoing accelerated changes unseen in a century, and humanity faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. As leaders of major world powers, we should not be blinded by superficial distractions, uphold the awareness of a community with a shared future, shoulder historical responsibilities, take initiative in history, and promote historical progress. When China hosted the G20 Leaders' Summit in Hangzhou, development issues were placed at the center of macroeconomic policy coordination for the first time. This Rio de Janeiro summit took "Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet" as its theme and decided to establish the "Global Alliance for Combating Hunger and Poverty." From Hangzhou to Rio de Janeiro, we have been committed to the same goal: building a just world of common development.

　　To build such a world, we need to increase resource investment and strengthen development institutions in areas such as trade, investment, and development cooperation; build more bridges of cooperation and fewer "small courtyards with high walls," so that more and more developing countries can live well and achieve modernization; support developing countries in adopting sustainable production and lifestyles, properly address challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution, build ecological civilization, and achieve harmony between humans and nature; create an open, inclusive, and non-discriminatory international economic cooperation environment, promote inclusive and beneficial economic globalization, empower sustainable development with new technologies, new industries, and new business models, support developing countries to better integrate into the trends of digitalization, intelligence, and greening, and narrow the North-South gap; uphold multilateralism, safeguard the international system centered on the United Nations, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that China's development is an important part of global common development. China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty, achieving the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda poverty reduction target ahead of schedule. These achievements are the result of the concerted efforts and hard work of the Chinese government and people. China has always adhered to a people-centered approach and solemnly promised "not to leave behind any impoverished region or person." It insists on targeted poverty alleviation, poverty reduction through economic development, poverty alleviation through promoting local characteristic industries, and poverty alleviation through promoting common prosperity. China's poverty alleviation experience shows that with perseverance, determination, and a spirit of hard work, the poverty problem in developing countries can be solved, and the weak can fly first and fly high. China can succeed, and other developing countries can also succeed. This is the global significance of China's successful fight against poverty.

　　Xi Jinping emphasized that China has always been a member of the Global South, a reliable long-term partner of developing countries, and an active practitioner and doer supporting global development. China is willing to join hands with a broad range of developing countries to achieve modernization.

　　Xi Jinping announced eight actions by China to support global development.

　　First, jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality, further develop a three-dimensional interconnected network, lead with a Green Silk Road, and empower the Digital Silk Road.

　　Second, implement the Global Development Initiative, build a Global South Research Center, continue to support developing countries, and deepen practical cooperation in poverty reduction, food security, digital economy, and other fields.

　　Third, support Africa's development. The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Beijing Summit announced ten partnership actions for China and Africa to jointly promote modernization over the next three years, with funding support provided.

　　Fourth, support international cooperation on poverty reduction and food security. China has decided to join the "Global Alliance for Combating Hunger and Poverty," support the continued holding of the G20 Development Ministers' Meeting, and will continue to host the International Food Loss Reduction Conference.

　　Fifth, China, together with Brazil, South Africa, and the African Union, jointly launched the "Open Science International Cooperation Initiative" to promote that global scientific and technological innovation achievements benefit the Global South more.

　　Sixth, support the G20 in carrying out practical cooperation that benefits the Global South, support the work of the G20 Entrepreneurship Research Center based in Beijing, and support cooperation in digital education, museum digitization, ancient book digitization, and other fields.

　　Seventh, implement the G20 Anti-Corruption Action Plan, strengthen cooperation with developing countries in areas such as pursuing fugitives and recovering stolen assets, rejecting corruption havens, and building anti-corruption capacity.

　　Eighth, China will improve the system and mechanism for high-level opening-up, expand unilateral opening to the least developed countries, and has announced zero tariff treatment on 100% of tariff lines for all least developed countries that have diplomatic relations with China.

　　Finally, Xi Jinping said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. China is willing to act together with all parties to build a just world of common development, make poverty a thing of the past, and turn beautiful visions into reality.

　　Brazilian President Lula presided over the meeting.
