Hey there! Have you ever wondered how leaders from around the world work together to make our planet a better place? 🌍 Well, from Wednesday to Friday, some important people met in Beijing at the 13th World Peace Forum to talk about just that! Let’s dive in and see what they discussed. 🤗
Working Together for Peace 🕊️
Cui Tiankai, who used to be China’s ambassador to the United States, shared some thoughtful ideas. He said that countries should all feel safe and secure together. Instead of thinking like, “If I win, you lose,” he believes we should help each other so everyone wins! 🎉
Learning from the Past 📖
Liu Jianchao, a leader from the Communist Party of China, reminded everyone that it’s been 80 years since the end of a big war called the World Anti-Fascist War. Back then, people really wanted lasting peace. But today, there are still problems. He thinks it’s a good time for everyone to sit together and figure out how to keep our world safe and peaceful for a long time. 🕰️
No More Tariff Wars! 🚫💰
Herman van Rompuy, who was once the Prime Minister of Belgium and a big leader in Europe, talked about something called a “tariff war.” That’s when countries charge extra money on things they trade, which isn’t very friendly. He said that these kinds of wars don’t help anyone and can hurt trust between countries. Let’s play fair and trade nicely! 🤝
Friends in East Asia 🤝
Yukio Hatoyama, a former Prime Minister of Japan, had a great idea: countries in East Asia, like Japan, China, and South Korea, should be even better friends! 👫👬 He thinks they should work together more and make their own decisions, instead of always relying on others. By teaming up, they can make their region stronger and happier. 🌟
Looking Ahead Together 🌅
The theme of the forum was “Advancing global peace and prosperity: shared responsibility, benefit and achievement.” That’s a fancy way of saying, “Let’s all work together to make the world peaceful and successful!” Isn’t it cool how people from different countries come together to talk about making the world a better place? Maybe someday, you’ll be one of those leaders too! 😊
