Zhao Leji attended the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments and delivered a speech. The Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva from July 29th to 31st. Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, attended the conference and delivered a speech entitled "Upholding Multilateralism and Building a Better Home Together." In his speech, Zhao Leji stated that humanity's peace and development are currently facing severe challenges, and legislatures have the responsibility to play an active role in promoting the building of a new type of international relations. We must be joint guardians of world peace and tranquility, uphold a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security vision, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and respect the development paths independently chosen by their peoples. We must be joint promoters of global development and prosperity, uphold mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, safeguard the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, and provide legal guarantees for promoting common development among all countries. We must be joint advocates for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, advocating respect for the diversity of world civilizations, allowing them to flourish and coexist in harmony. We must be joint promoters of international fairness and justice, upholding and practicing true multilateralism, and promoting a more just and equitable global governance system. Zhao Leji stressed that China's National People's Congress is willing to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Inter-Parliamentary Union and legislative bodies of various countries to jointly implement global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
