Hey there! Have you ever heard of the Global South? It’s a term used to describe countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania that are developing and growing fast.
On Friday, Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister, talked about how important it is for these countries to come together, work as a team, and keep developing. He said, “The energy that’s changing the world today is coming from the south!” ๐
The Global South now makes up more than 40% of the world’s economy and contributes to 80% of global economic growth. That’s huge! It means these countries are playing a big role in keeping peace, helping the world grow, and making global decisions.
Wang Yi believes that if the Global South unites, it can make the world a better, more stable place. He encourages these countries to speak up together on the world stage and protect their shared interests.
He also said, “We should focus on development, build our strength, and walk hand in hand toward modernization.” ๐ค
No matter how the world changes, China will always support the Global South and stay connected with these countries, Wang Yi promised.
