China Calls for International Cooperation in Human Development
China wishes to continue expanding cooperation with international organizations and other countries to enhance human economic, social and environmental security and to seek common development.
This was announced Monday in Beijing at the opening session of the International Workshop on Development towards Human Economic, Social and Environmental Security, co-sponsored by China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchange (CICETE) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
Officials from UNDP, CICETE, Foreign Ministry of Japan, Canadian Embassy to China, scholars from Chinese and overseas research institutes as well as representatives from non-governmental organizations attended the three-day workshop.
Sun Yongfu, director-general of CICETE, called for "the establishment of a new international political and economic order of fairness and justice".
He said that he expects "the international community, especially developed countries, to help developing countries for development of economic, social and environmental security and achieving common development of mankind."
China has made significant progress in security development in recent years. However, problems still exist in such areas as regional disparities, pollution and ecological degradation.
