As the world is plagued by mounting global security challenges, both old and new, the new proposals by Chinese President Xi Jinping on international security have given a boost to global stability.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 86th Interpol General Assembly on Tuesday, Xi proposed better cooperation and innovation, upholding the rule of law and seeking mutual benefit to build a community of shared security for mankind.

Security and stability are fundamental to peace and development around the world, which is far from tranquil. Global security is facing challenges such as widespread terrorism, cybercrime and organized crime, which all threaten national security, social stability and economic development around the world.
