The 13th Meeting of the China-Africa Think-Tanks Forum held in Tanzania’s port city of Dar es Salaam recently reached a consensus on ‘deepening global development cooperation,’ emphasizing dialogue rather than conflicts among civilizations, and supporting countries in pursuing modernization that are in line with their own development requirements and national conditions.
The Dar es Salaam Consensus promotes the common values of all humanity in terms of values, transcending the arrogant behavior of the West, trying to monopolize the discourse of human development and cultural exchange with the so-called Western universal values.
In terms of core concepts, it emphasizes cooperation and mutual development, transcending the Western practice of prioritizing their own interests and locking other countries into the lower end of the industrial and supply chains, promoting only their own growth and preventing others from developing, in a mind-set of exclusive gains.In terms of global governance, advocating for orderly, equal multi-polarization and inclusive globalization that represents the interests and demands of the vast majority of people in the world – helping transcend the “pseudo-globalization” of the US.
