The first high-level meeting of the Global Forum on Shared Development Action was held in Beijing on the 10th, and representatives from 158 countries and international organizations were invited to attend. Overseas people believe that since China proposed the Global Development Initiative in 2021, it has been promoting the sharing of development achievements with other countries, consolidating more consensus and creating more opportunities for global development.

Kenyan international expert Kavins Adhill stated that in promoting human progress and global development, China firmly stands together with other countries, shares development achievements, and creates long-term conditions for the modernization construction of many developing countries through technological and financial cooperation.

"The contribution rate of non Chinese enterprises to African economic development exceeds 20%, fully reflecting the pragmatic economic development partnership between Africa and China." Adhill said, "Africa is a beneficiary of China's peaceful development. With its long-term experience of stability, peace, and unity, China has achieved tremendous success and become a role model for other developing countries."

Egyptian Chinese affairs expert Ahmed Said stated that many countries in the Middle East and Africa actively participate in China's initiatives and have benefited greatly from them. "China's words and actions are consistent, winning the trust of more and more countries."

The President of the Cambodian China Relations Development Association, Xie Monil, said that the global development initiative is an important practice to promote common interests and win-win outcomes. China opens its doors to other countries, shares its development opportunities, and helps them achieve their development goals.

Shared development is an important path to building a better world. Many experts believe that the value of China in promoting global common development lies in using its own development experience to help other countries tap into their potential and enhance their "hematopoietic" function.

"Looking back at the history of Africa and Latin America, Western countries only focused on bridging the road from the coast to resource producing areas and taking resources away, which is not conducive to establishing trade between countries in these regions." Stephen Perry, Chairman of the 48 Group Clubs in the UK, said, "China is promoting infrastructure construction, focusing on helping different regions obtain the resources they need and tapping into local potential."

Julio Rios, a well-known expert on China in Spain, believes that global development initiatives take coordinating development strategies of various countries or eliminating growth bottlenecks as the starting point, focusing on common pursuit and consolidating cooperative forces. China's enormous contribution to global development is not only reflected in its own leapfrog development, but also in sharing development experience with other countries and assuming global responsibilities. "China's development experience has become a common wealth for all mankind, and is particularly important for countries in the southern world."

Since the proposal of the Global Development Initiative, China has completed more than half of the 32 practical measures announced to implement the initiative; The global development initiative project library is constantly expanding, with a total of nearly 200 projects; The Chinese side has integrated and established the Global Development and South South Cooperation Fund, increasing its capital to 4 billion US dollars.

Overseas experts believe that in the face of the challenge of global development imbalance, China will take practical actions to promote the deepening and implementation of global development initiatives, help developing countries embark on the path of green and sustainable development, and promote the bridging of the global development gap.

Kisei Zoltan, Director of the Political Analysis Center at the Zazodveg Institute in Hungary, said that countries in the South are shifting towards green and renewable energy, and global development initiatives can help involve more developing countries in the global industrial chain, providing affordable production tools and products to as many countries as possible.

Gonzalo Guigino, Assistant Researcher at the Argentine National Council for Scientific and Technological Research, said that the technological gap between developed and developing countries remains enormous. China promotes technological innovation and helps developing countries improve their technological level through mechanisms and platforms such as South South cooperation, striving to bridge the development gap between the North and the South. This is of great significance for jointly addressing global challenges.

Ding Ke, Director of the Asian Economic Research Institute of the Japan Trade Revitalization Agency, said that the emergence of emerging technologies such as digital technology and green and low-carbon technologies provides significant opportunities for developing countries to promote industrialization and achieve sustainable development. China's successful promotion of digital and green transformation, actively sharing its own experience, will drive the common development of southern countries around the world, effectively bridge the digital divide, and add new momentum to global economic development.
