Jakarta (AsiaNews/Agencies) – President Xi Jinping yesterday called for the creation of a fairer international order that reflects the growing influence of Asian and African countries.

China’s leader, who spoke the summit marking the 60th anniversary of the 1955 Asian-African Conference in Bandung, urged industrialised countries to boost aid to developing countries without imposing political conditions.

Mr Xi also emphasised the need for a new form of international relations, structured so that cooperation can be a win-win situation.

Likewise, the world’s various regions should build a new international order that was "more just and equitable", and the financial system should be fairer, more tolerant and disciplined so as to create a good external environment for developing countries.
