Navid Hanif, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations in charge of economic development, said in an exclusive interview with reporters a few days ago that China has accumulated rich knowledge and experience in promoting modernization, promoting international development cooperation, and promoting energy transition. Share it with the world.

Hanif said that over the past few decades, China has made great progress in poverty eradication, industrialization and application of new technologies. As a country with a huge population, China's achievements in poverty eradication are worthy of appreciation, and there is a lot of experience to share with the world. The Chinese-style modernization path is very effective for China, and other countries can also learn from it.

The development path of each country must be controlled by its own people, and it can only be effective if it suits its own national conditions. Hanif believes that countries need to learn from each other's good policies and practices. China's demonstration and sharing of its own experience will help some countries choose a modernization model that is in line with their national conditions and their priorities and needs.

2023 is the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. Hanif said that the role of the Belt and Road Initiative in promoting global development cooperation and helping relevant countries and regions achieve their development goals through South-South cooperation has been recognized. Over the past 10 years, the initiative has accumulated knowledge, achievements and impacts in promoting the realization of sustainable development goals, green transportation, and green infrastructure construction, which are worth sharing with other countries. Through this kind of sharing, the international community can better understand the Belt and Road Initiative.

In Hanif's view, as a supporter of South-South cooperation, China has many other practices that it can share with the world in promoting global development cooperation. China is cooperating with other member states of the United Nations to promote the implementation of global development initiatives, and has established a group of friends of global development initiatives on the platform of the United Nations. Hanif said that the global development initiative reflects China's good will and commitment to promoting global development.

The 2023 Sustainable Development Financing Report released by the United Nations recently pointed out that in 2022, global investment in energy transition will exceed investment in fossil fuels for the first time. China is one of the leaders in the energy transition. Based on the content of the report, Hanif said that through South-South cooperation, China can help other countries realize energy transformation and provide the technology and experience they need.

Hanif also talked about other beneficial experiences in China, and believed that relevant experiences should also be widely shared. For example, in the solar cell industry, China has shown a leading role in the application of new technologies that can widely reduce carbon emissions; in the field of development financing, China has innovated in strengthening public-private partnerships.Editor/Ma Xue
