Belt Road Forum Beijing May 2017
We are mindful that the world economy is undergoing profound changes, presenting both
opportunities and challenges. This is an era of opportunity, where countries continue to aspire for
peace, development and cooperation. The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with the set
of Sustainable Development Goals at its core provides a new blueprint of international cooperation.
9. We reiterate the importance of expanding economic growth, trade and investment based on levelplaying field, on market rules and on universally recognized international norms. We welcome the
promotion of industrial cooperation, scientific and technological innovation, and regional economic
cooperation and integration so as to increase, inter alia, the integration and participation of micro,
small and medium enterprises in global value chains. Attention should be paid to tax and fiscal
policies, prioritizing growth and productive investment.
10. We stand for strengthening physical, institutional and people-to-people connectivity among all
countries. The least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing
states and middle-income countries deserve special attention to remove bottlenecks of development
and achieve effective connectivity.
11. We endeavor to expand people-to-people exchanges, promote peace, justice, social cohesion,
inclusiveness, democracy, good governance, the rule of law, human rights, gender equality and
women empowerment; work together to fight against corruption and bribery in all their forms; to be
more responsive to all the needs of those in vulnerable situations such as, children, persons with
disabilities and older persons; and help improve global economic governance, and ensure equal
access by all to development opportunities and benefits.
12. We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through taking urgent action
on climate change

UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez – CGTN INTerview Tian Wei, Beijing 14 May 2017
INT At the opening speech of Belt Road Forum (Beijing 14 May) Chinese President Xi Jinping
talked about the new plans, an hour later in your speech you talked about seizing the momentum,
CAN WE?:
AG YES of course. I think today that China has a leading role in promoting multilateralism around
the world; China has a vision that globalization is a good thing that it needs to be promoted even as
it needs to be corrected where people are being left behind – the Chinese approach is we need
better globalisation and we need Belt and Road to create conditions for “larger” areas of the world
to benefit so that globalisation can be an opportunity for all with nobody left behind as we at the UN
are committed to through agenda 2030 (the 17 Sustainability Development Goals) approved by the
general assembly of the United Nations. So I think this morning’s speech was the confirmation of
what has been a very clear commitment by China to a fair globalization –to a fair and free trade –
and to a multilateral governance able to respond to the global challenges we face today
INT So this is a window of opportunity many say, but the question is are we going to catch this
opportunity? Eg secretary general you talk about the common ground between Belt Road and the
Sustainability Development Goals by 2030 which you set up (and which Jinping was among many
leaders to sign up to) but what about the action plabn, we need to take action, don’t we?
AG OF COURSE, the advantage of The BELT Road Initiative is its not only a concept, it is a
combination of a number of concrete projects which have been implanted in many areas of the
world,,eg infrastructure and those that relate to people to people connections because we live in a
world with too many conflicts so this is not only a material development project, it is a project to
bring people together; this is not something only for development but also for peace, and this is why
Belt Road is so much related to the agendas of the UN that connect sustainable development and
sustainable peace
INT when you talk about SDGs , there is a lot to be achieved by 2030 and a lot of work to be done day by day?
AG The leadership must assume sustainable development goals – in relation to education health jobs, in ending
poverty –in spite of any political changes , the member states must ensure that they include the very ambitious
objectives that the general assembly approved- in their budgets, their plans, their strategies- and the advantage of
projects of BELT Road is that they fit exactly because they create the conditions for the development to be both
sustainable, and for development to be inclusive- because sometimes you can have increase of an economy with
some becoming richer and richer while others becoming poorer and poorer (exactly the sort of development we
don’t want)
INT are you seeing members states already doing that
AG I think there are many members states already doing that, but there is also a long way to go, and there is still a
lot that organisations like UN world bank ,IMF and new institutions like Asian Infrastructure Bank launched by china
there is a lot everyone can do to support members states but the leeadership is very important and it must be at the
level of the member states
INT But there are many changes in the leaders of member states going on right before and after you came into
office of secretary general, so what will that mean for this implementation?
AG we need to engage with all of them to make them understand that the world is now smaller, that we need to be
able to live together and to respect each other and mainly in relation to climate change this is a threat to the future
of mankind- this is an area that I count a lot on china’s leadership
INT but they say they have other priorities
AG but you know even when governments are reluctant, we see now that green business is good business; those
companies that are investing in the green economy are the ones in the future that will be more profitable because
they will be more advanced technologically with better capacity to face the challenges of the futures –so even when
governments are reluctant the business community, the cities, the regions, the societies – I am very confident they
will do everything to make sure that we tame climate change, we will be able to create the conditions for the world
to be spared from a tragedy that our children do not deserve
INT what is UN’s greatest relevance
AG well in many aspects; look at humanitarian aid the UN is on the frontline- at the moment we have 4 countries
confronted with dramatic famine , I was myself leading process mobilizing communities to support the and our
agency are working to support people in mist difficult of circumstances—un peacekeepers where china is now a
very strong component are rescuing lives all over the world—the UN is also a forum whereby climate change was
discussed and agreement made possible where we do mediation to avoid conflicts, where we help build institutions
in many countries—I think the UN has a key role to play in this world and we need to reform it to make it more
effective and to make it more able to respond to requests and aspirations of the peoples of this world
INT China is a developing country therefore this is an interesting match we are talking about, and the UN has
decades of experience of hands on knowledge,
, and china providing together with others some of the funding to make things come true, nobody has ever tested
that before, so mister secretary general I guess that’s one of the most exciting experiments we ever have
AG it’s a perfect marriage, its not only knowledge in UN there is also technology and knowledge in china-we can
learn lessobs from china to prevent mistakes in other parts of the world, and we can use the capacities developed
in china – in technology, in strategies to fight poverty …, to help other countries be able to “leap” into a higher level
of development
INT you came into Office at start of 2017 saying: this is going to be the year OF peace?
AG First I said this needs to be the year FOR peace- because we have no peace- on the contrary we have a
multiplication of conflicts all over the world- these conflicts are becoming more interlinked and linked to a threat of
global terrorism, and that is why its so important to work for peace, to bring together all the countries that have an
influence on the parties in countries in conflict, and to make them understand that these wars are wars that nobody
is winning , everybody is losing, that are becoming -look at Syria its becoming - a terrible factor of instability on the
whole region, impact on iraq, Lebanon, jordan--- this is closely linked to a new form of global terrorism that now is a
threat everywhere in the world – nobody is safe, with this kind of terrorism so countries even if they have
contradictory interests(some more in favor of one side, some the other side) countries with an influence need to
come together, and put an end to this

The New Geogprahical Curriculum of sustainable world trade- everyone’s invited to map
Therefore Jinping’s global 2.0 is looking at every region at the same time -so in terms of developing win-wins he is concerned with the other billion person nation
India (region 2 which stretches to its east=south through bangladesh and pure south through Sri Lanka) but region 2 can involve maritime plays. While much of
region 3 and 7’s exclusion from world trade is due to being landlocked- interestingly part of region 7 has the other problem - across the sea from the landlocked
"Stans" is the mainly desert area -the middle east - linked in by superports
regions 4 and 5 are east and west europe- we also double count nations facing the Med Sea as this is currently peace and sustainability's hottest problem area
as refugees escape war torn lands
our map continues in the north west - region 6 north america
in the south west the region 10 south america;and in the slouth middle region 9 africa,
Since the start of 21st C, Chinese investments in both big southern regions can be audited for their long-term development potential' while they are furthest away
from the original Eurasian Silk Road, china is building East coast Africa infrastructure Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and hopes that peace can blossom through
Egypt and countries bordering the Suez Canal back into the med sea
Equally China dialogues with South America especially Argentina and Chile now have 17 years plus of investment trust and the connections betrween G20
China 2016 and G20 Argentina 2018 (the Pope’s homeland) can be one of youth worlds greatest highlights during the student year 2017-2018
