Nations urged to jointly uphold global security
China DailyA senior official of the Communist Party of China warned on Wednesday against overstretching the concept of security, saying that such a practice would erode the foundation of common development and make the global security dilemma more acute. Such a practice cannot address security challenges, but only makes things worse and further undermines global peace and stability," he said. "In terms of areas of cooperation, we could start with the easier and less sensitive ones, such as climate change and counterterrorism, and gradually enrich the content of international security cooperation," he said. The international experts attending the dialogue commended the Global Security Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping, and called for international cooperation to address global security challenges. Moon Chung-in, former special adviser for national security to former Republic of Korea president Moon Jae-in, said that the Global Security Initiative, which calls for common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, bears important implications for the diffusion of the collective security system.
