In Sharaf's view, a community with a shared future for mankind should have peace, security and development at its core. He said that against the backdrop of globalization, common understanding is needed to build such a community.

Komorowski agreed with Sharaf, saying people around the world share the same aspirations for better security, more freedom and greater wealth, and even in a profoundly changed world, people should work together for a better future.

Prodi voiced his worries about a world challenged by unilateralism and protectionism, saying rising tensions are emerging in the international system, particularly in trade and economic disputes, which may negatively influence political and cultural cooperation.

The world faces a range of problems and challenges, such as regional conflicts, terrorism, climate change and wealth gaps, Prodi said. However, the international system is under threat, and addressing the challenges needs united efforts, he said.

Ahmedov echoed Prodi, saying some countries fail to honor the existing international order, and even override others' interests and international rules, having a bad effect on global development.

Xi has said on a number of occasions that the world is undergoing profound changes not seen for a century. The international order based on rules established with the founding of the UN after World War II is being challenged by rising unilateralism, isolationism and populism.

Against such a backdrop, countries are looking for solutions to such questions as how to uphold the post-war international order with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter at the core.

They are also trying to find solutions to the question of how to promote democracy, the rule of law and a proper balance in international relations as well as how countries can work together for a better future amid growing economic globalization, multi-polarization, cultural diversity and digitalization.

Ahmedov said the global governance system should be improved and developed to ensure the sanctity and authority of international rules, adding that such rules should be respected and honored by all countries.

Sharaf said that to achieve a significant change in the international order, massive support is needed. Therefore, the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind can play a vital role in establishing some commonalities, namely common trust and common security leading to a common development, he added.
