On January 11, 2024, local media PointeXpress carried an article authored by Zhang Yanling, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Antigua and Barbuda, titled “Work together to meet challenges and achieve common prosperity”, to elaborate China's proposal of building a community with a shared future for mankind. The full text is as follows:

As the world enters a new period of turbulence and transformation, more and more countries are realizing that the destiny of the world should be in the hands of all countries and that the future of the world needs to be created by all nations together.

What kind of world should we build and how should we build this world, The Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs that was held in Beijing on December 27-28, 2023, gave an explanation of China's proposal, that is, to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

The bedrock of building a community with a shared future for mankind is consisted of 6 aspects:

- the goal is to build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world of lasting peace, universal security and shared prosperity.

- the pathway is promoting global governance that features extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit.

- the guiding principle is to apply the common values of humanity.

- the basic underpinning lies in building a new type of international relations.

- the strategic guidance comes from the implementation of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative.

-and the platform for action is high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.

On this basis, we hope countries could join together to meet challenges and achieve prosperity for all, and usher in a bright future of peace, security, prosperity and progress for our world.

Given the series of major issues and challenges facing the world today, China calls for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

An equal and orderly multipolar world is one in which all countries, regardless of size, are treated as equals, hegemonism and power politics are rejected, and democracy is truly promoted in international relations. To keep the progress toward greater multipolarity generally stable and constructive, the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter must be observed by all, the universally recognized, basic norms governing international relations must be upheld by all, and true multilateralism must be practiced.

A universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization is one that meets the common needs of all countries, especially the developing countries, and properly addresses the development imbalances between and within countries resulting from the global allocation of resources. It is important to resolutely oppose the attempt to roll back globalization and abuse the concept of security, oppose all forms of unilateralism and protectionism, firmly promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, overcome the structural problems hindering the healthy development of the world economy, and make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial to all.

China and Antigua and Barbuda have made fruitful achievements under the Belt and Road cooperation, opening up new horizons for building a community with a shared future for mankind. It is believed that under the strategic leadership of the leaders of both sides, the pragmatic cooperation between the two countries will achieve new and greater development, and the community with a shared future between China and Antigua and Barbuda will grow from strength to strength.
