China News Service, Beijing, October 12 (Han Yu Nazi) The main forum of the Mingde Strategic Dialogue (2026) was held in Beijing on October 11. With the theme of "Resilience and Vitality: New Opportunities brought to the World by China's Development", more than 20 former political figures and well-known scholars from 10 countries gathered in Beijing after visiting Shanghai, Xinyu in Jiangxi, and Wenzhou in Zhejiang to discuss China's high-quality development and global economic growth, improving global economic governance and stabilizing production and supply chains, and artificial intelligence-empowered industrial innovation.
Former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome said that China's economy has shown strong resilience and high-quality development has created new opportunities for global economic growth and international cooperation. China's innovative development in green technology, advanced manufacturing and digital economy not only promotes its own economic transformation and upgrading, but also injects new momentum into the world economy. He believes that resilience not only means resisting risks, but also means constantly adapting and growing stronger amid changes. Countries should deepen practical cooperation, share development opportunities and achieve common prosperity.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jenny Shipley said that China insists on opening up to the outside world, deepens international economic and trade cooperation, and expands space for common development in mutual benefit and win-win results. The resilience and vitality displayed by China's economy are due to its insistence on long-term planning, strengthening infrastructure construction, continuing to promote scientific and technological innovation, and constantly adjusting its development strategy according to the development situation. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative has promoted connectivity and partnership building between countries and provided important support for deepening international cooperation.
Zlatko Ragumdia, former Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that international cooperation requires both conceptual consensus and pragmatic actions. Countries should translate consensus on cooperation into concrete practices so that development results can benefit more people of all countries and work together to promote a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable global development.
Huang Hanquan, director of the Macroeconomic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, said that China's ultra-large-scale market demand provides broad space for products from various countries. The upgrade of China's industrial and supply chains provides strong support for the world's industrialization, intelligence, and greening. China's development of new productivity and promotion of high-quality development provide important supplies for today's world.
Ma Huaide, President of Renmin University of China, attended and delivered a welcome speech, and Zheng Xinye, Vice President of Renmin University of China, presided over the event.
