Experts urge spreading word of GDI

Experts and scholars from BRICS member countries－Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa－have called for greater efforts as well as more responsibility from the media to promote the Global Development Initiative to a wider audience.

They made the call at a high-level think tank and media forum, the Global Development Initiative－Media Responsibility and Action Plan, held by China Media Group in Beijing on Monday.

With COVID-19 seriously harming global development and with developing countries taking the greatest hit, President Xi Jinping proposed the GDI to call on countries to promote common development and make concerted efforts to meet the challenges confronting humankind. The most important objective of the people-centered initiative is to help implement the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
