Hey there! Have you heard the news? Chinese President Xi Jinping recently visited the New Development Bank (NDB) in Shanghai! 🎉
So, what’s the NDB? It’s a bank started by countries like China, Brazil, India, Russia, and South Africa. Their goal is to help other countries grow and improve. Pretty cool, right?
During his visit, President Xi met with the bank’s president, Dilma Rousseff. He called the NDB a “pioneer” for helping the Global South get better. 🌍
Wait, what’s the Global South? It’s a term used to describe countries that are still developing, mostly in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These countries might need extra help with things like technology, schools, and the environment.
President Xi encouraged the NDB to provide more high-quality and affordable support to these countries. He wants the bank to focus on projects that use new technology and are good for the planet. ♻️
He also talked about the “digital divide.” That’s when some people have access to computers and the internet, and others don’t. By helping to bridge this gap, everyone can have the same opportunities online! 💻
President Xi promised that China will continue to support the NDB. He hopes that by working together, they can make the world a better place for everyone. 🤝
Isn’t it exciting to see countries helping each other out? Maybe one day, you can be part of making a difference too! 🚀
