The pandemic has also served as a strong reminder of the importance of international solidarity, she added.

Wang Huiyao, president of the Center for China and Globalization, a think tank based in Beijing, said that in addition to sharing its experience, China could participate more in promoting reform and innovation by playing a leading role as a member of international organizations.

For example, he said that as a major power, the country should actively voice its concerns and proposals－especially from the perspective of a developing nation－in discussions involving reform of the World Trade Organization.

Wang also said China could launch an innovative cooperation model by bringing different international organizations under the same framework.

"China could help bring together the World Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the Asian Development Bank and other relevant organizations to form a group that can jointly promote development of the Belt and Road Initiative," he said.

During interaction with international organizations, Wang said China faces the crucial challenge of how to better communicate with the world to reach mutual understanding.

"We may need to improve the way we are telling our stories," he said. "It would be better if we can use a language that has been widely accepted by the world, or if we can integrate our stories into the international context to find the greatest common divisor and common language with the world."

He also suggested using non-governmental organizations, such as think tanks, to address global misunderstanding.

Babatunde Ahonsi, representative of the United Nations Population Fund in China, said he expects the country to actively communicate and work closely with the agency to reach more goals.

The fund has advised China and other member countries to make more progress on population-related issues, which form part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, Ahonsi said.

He added that China passed the Domestic Violence Law in 2016, which the UN fund is helping to implement effectively to prevent and address gender-based violence.

"However, the world still has a long way to go in terms of ensuring rights and choices for all, as envisioned under the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action," Ahonsi said.

He added that the agency hopes that China and other member states can continue communicating with each other.
