On the morning of December 2nd, the2023 Understanding China Conference opened at the Guangzhou Yuexiu International Congress Center. During the opening ceremony, former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome shared insights into the positive impacts brought about by the collaborative efforts of the "Belt and Road Initiative."
Mulatu Teshome, who once served as Ethiopia's ambassador to China and is fluent in Chinese, is a well-versed individual in Chinese affairs. Having witnessed China's remarkable achievements in economic and social development over the past four decades, he said,"Based on these successful development experiences, China continues to promote mutually beneficial interactions with the rest of the world." Mulatu Teshome praised China as an active participant in economic globalization, upholding multilateral mechanisms while actively engaging in reforming and constructing the global governance system.
According to Mulatu Teshome, the Belt and Road Initiative has brought profound changes to people worldwide, marking a significant milestone in the history of human social development. He said that after the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative, Ethiopia considers China model as an international example worthy of emulation.
In Mulatu Teshome's perspective, China's proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative in response to global challenges, envisioning a world characterized by lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusivity, and environmental beauty, is a correct historical choice. This vision opens up a brighter prospect for the common development of humanity. He added, "We are willing to work hand in hand with China to turn these visions into reality."
Mulatu Teshome pointed out that in today's interconnected world, nations are more frequently and closely linked than ever before, emphasizing the interdependence of human destinies. He also noted the escalating challenges to global security and the pressing issues in global development and security governance. Issues such as conflicts, food security, terrorism, cyber-attacks, climate change, energy crises, major infectious diseases, and artificial intelligence threaten our shared planet. Therefore, Mulatu Teshome called for new ideas and new thinking to address these challenges and collaboratively build a better future.

穆拉图·特肖梅:埃塞俄比亚把中国模式作为可借鉴的国际范例|读懂中国
12月2日上午,2023年“读懂中国”国际会议(广州)在越秀国际会议中心开幕。在开幕式上的大会演讲环节,埃塞俄比亚前总统穆拉图·特肖梅讲述了共建“一带一路”倡议带来的积极影响。
穆拉图·特肖梅曾担任埃塞俄比亚驻中国大使,会讲流利的汉语,是一位“中国通”。他见证了过去四十多年中国经济社会发展取得举世瞩目的成就。“基于这些成功的经验,中国继续推动与世界的互利互动关系。”穆拉图·特肖梅评价道,中国作为经济全球化的积极参与者,一直致力于维护多边机制,同时积极参与全球治理体系的改革和建设。
穆拉图·特肖梅认为,共建“一带一路”倡议给世界人民带来了深刻的变化,成为人类社会发展史上具有里程碑意义的重大事件。他表示,共建“一带一路”倡议提出后,埃塞俄比亚就把中国的模式作为一个可借鉴的国际范例。
在穆拉图·特肖梅看来,中国为应对全球挑战,着眼人类前途命运和整体利益提出的共建“一带一路”的倡议是正确的历史选择,倡导建立一个持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界,这样的愿景为人类共同发展开辟了更加光明的前景。“我们愿意和中国一道来为实现这些愿景携手努力,把这些愿景变成现实。”
穆拉图·特肖梅指出,当今世界,各国相互联系和彼此依存比过去任何时候都更频繁、更紧密,可见人类是休戚与共的命运共同体。与此同时,他也注意到,全球安全的形势日益严峻,全球发展安全治理的问题日益突出,地球冲突、粮食安全、恐怖主义、网络攻击、气候变化、能源危机、重大传染病、人工智能等问题也威胁着我们共同的地球。因此,穆拉图·特肖梅呼吁,需要新理念、新思想来应对这些挑战,共建美好的未来。
