Hu calls for better cooperation

PRESIDENT Hu Jintao yesterday called for better cooperation among Asian nations to promote all-round development in the region.

"We need to seek common ground while shelving differences and enhance common security," Hu said at the Boao Forum for Asia in southern China.

"We should reject the Cold War mentality and zero-sum approach, and advocate a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination," he said. "As the trend toward multi-polarity and economic globalization deepens, the people of Asia have the major task of maintaining both development and stability."

It was the third time Hu had attended the annual Boao Forum, a non-government platform for global political, business and academic leaders.

"Asians belong to one family," said Hu, adding that the people of Asia had a shared mission to promote common development and build a harmonious Asia.

Hu proposed that Asian countries respect diversity of civilization and promote good-neighborly relations.

"We need to translate the diversity of our region into a driving force for more dynamic exchanges and cooperation, increase mutual understanding and trust, and take our cooperation to higher levels," he said.
