"The world is almost broken... but China seeks to make real this right of development," stated Robert Walker, Professor Emeritus at Oxford University's Green Templeton College and Professor at Beijing Normal University, at the Global Strategic Dialogue 2024 in Beijing. Emphasizing China's unique role, he noted that while North-South partnerships are often lacking, China actively promotes shared prosperity through practical measures. "China is living up to global aspirations," Walker said, contributing to a world that pursues Sustainable Development Goals for all.
