Chun Gong said that in the past decade, the cooperation between the IPU and China in promoting sustainable development has continued to deepen. He believes that China has made important contributions to promoting sustainable development in the global South, not only providing assistance to developing countries, but also encouraging more developing countries to participate in this important issue. China's influence and action in this regard are admirable.
