Chinese premier offers insight into how world can navigate tough times

TIANJIN, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday offered his four-pronged observations on how humanity can navigate the turbulent times, as the world is standing at a historical crossroads.

Secondly, he stressed solidarity and cooperation after the world has experienced the shocks of global crises.

"As a community with a shared future, we must cherish the gains of cooperation, embrace the concept of win-win cooperation, and work together to tackle these global challenges and promote human progress," Li said.

Thirdly, the premier noted that having gone through the twists and turns of economic globalization, all countries should cherish openness and cooperation more.

"Economic globalization is a historical trend," said Li. "Despite the headwinds and pushback, development trend of economic globalization has kept moving forward."

Lastly, the premier said peace and stability should be cherished more in the wake of experiencing anxiety caused by conflicts and instability.

He urged solid efforts to firmly uphold fairness and justice, work hard to solve the security dilemma, and jointly safeguard a peaceful and stable development environment.
