The Beijing Declaration calls for these countries to stand together to promote modernization (which means improving technology and ways of doing things) and sustainable development (which means growing without harming the planet). ๐ฟโจ
Tackling Global Challenges Together ๐ฏ
The world faces many challenges like climate change, poverty, and diseases. The declaration emphasizes that by working together, countries can better handle these issues. They want to uphold (which means to support) the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and international law. ๐
This means theyโre following agreed-upon rules to keep peace and make the world a better place! ๐๏ธ
A Fair and Friendly Global Economy ๐ฐ
Finally, they advocate for an inclusive, mutually beneficial economic globalization.
