In August, the foot of Tianshan Mountain is lush with greenery. The Global Development Youth Leaders' Home 2025 "China Tour" event, hosted by the Global Development Promotion Center of the National International Development Cooperation Agency, was held in Xinjiang. More than 30 youth representatives from nearly 20 countries, including Germany, Australia, Egypt, Thailand, Cambodia, Tajikistan, conducted research visits, exchanges, and dialogues. From the bustling market of Urumqi International Grand Bazaar to the millennium alleys of Kashgar, from the temperature of people's livelihood in Guyuan Lane community to the scientific and technological brilliance of Changji Xinjiang Agricultural Expo Park, foreign youth representatives have a close perception of the practice of Chinese path to modernization in Xinjiang, and have gathered international consensus on development and cooperation. In the heartwarming community of Minsheng Scene, the rhythm of the dance studio is lively, the laughter in the entertainment room is hearty, and the food for meals is fragrant. Every detail is infused with the warmth of Minsheng. The scenes witnessed in Guyuan Lane Community, Urumqi, left Australian youth representative Nadia deeply moved. "The elderly stretch out in the dance room and the children exercise in the training room - this is a vivid portrayal of the people as the center." She said, "As a multi-ethnic community with more than 95% ethnic minorities, we can learn from the beneficial experience of multicultural development." Lakshme, the chief technology transfer officer of the Ministry of Industry, Technology and Innovation of Cambodia, witnessed the scene of people of all ethnic groups living in harmony, and said with deep feelings: "From policy formulation to the implementation of people's livelihood, the wisdom of the CPC in governance and administration is reflected in the daily life of the people. The government builds a development platform, paves the road to happiness, and allows people of all ethnic groups to share the fruits of development, and share the warmth of people's livelihood." "Some western media rumors are vulnerable to attack in front of the real Xinjiang! ”Egyptian youth representative Omar showcases the image of the International Bazaar on his mobile phone: Uyghur dancers dancing side by side with tourists, and merchants of various ethnic groups enthusiastically attracting customers in multiple languages. "In the future, I will bring more friends to Xinjiang to show them how to achieve the coexistence of diverse cultures. After all, the smiles on people's faces will not lie." In Urumqi, the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a youth seminar with the theme of "Global Development Initiative · Building a Green Future in Arid Areas Together" is being held. Young scientists from more than 10 countries expressed their opinions on green practices under the global development initiative, and sparks of ideas continued to collide through exchanges. The experience of preventing and controlling desertification in Xinjiang has important reference significance for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries, "said Zhuo Wei, a young scientist from Tajikistan." Ecological issues are global challenges, and only by promoting cross-border cooperation and gathering multidisciplinary forces can we better protect our common home. "Walking into the Kashgar Cross border E-commerce Import and Export Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center, there are specialty products from various countries such as Pakistani handmade soap, Korean skincare products, and French red wine on the shelves. "These commodities across mountains and seas are a vivid demonstration of breaking trade barriers in the digital era." Louis, assistant president of the German Eurofinance Group, said, "China has put forward a global development initiative. Under this cooperation initiative, sustainable development technology is helping to narrow the development gap between the north and the south, and provide a systematic solution to global problems." Gazing at the "digital star" flowing in the trading center and the "ecological context" spreading on the sand prevention map, many foreign youth representatives sighed. The practice of Chinese path to modernization in Xinjiang has proved that it is not necessary to sacrifice the ecological environment to solve development problems, and it is not necessary to abandon the cultural roots to embrace modern civilization. This path of sustainable development has brought many inspirations to countries in the global South. The development initiative gathers strength in the intelligent greenhouse of Xinjiang Agricultural Expo Park in Changji. Vegetables on soilless cultivation shelves stretch their tender leaves, and Nititawan, an advisor to the Thai National Power Party, holds up his phone to record the scene inside the greenhouse. Chinese agricultural universities and enterprises have joined hands to bring water-saving irrigation and circular agriculture technologies from the laboratory to the fields, providing valuable demonstrations for the collaborative development of industry, academia, and research in southern countries around the world, "said Nititawan. In the ancient city of Kashgar, the earthy yellow dwellings preserve the texture of a thousand years of history, and the live streaming cameras in the bronze shop bring intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship to the world stage. Chen Jiayi, President of the World Academy of Youth Sciences from Malaysia, sighed: "The development of the ancient city is full of vitality, which fully proves that protecting tradition is not a matter of sticking to old ways, and developing the economy does not necessarily require large-scale demolition and construction." At the exchange meeting held at Kashgar University, Felix from the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Germany said: "Under the guidance of the Global Development Initiative, China has always actively shared its wisdom and experience in implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with countries in the global south. European countries, including Germany, should strengthen cooperation with China with a more inclusive and open attitude, seek consensus in differences, and solve problems in cooperation." When leaving Xinjiang, young people from various countries bid farewell to the young friends they met here with reluctance, and everyone discussed how to practice global development. The initiative has gained more recognition. A Uyghur youth said, "When we grow grapes, we will let the vines wrap around each other and grow upwards, so that they can grow more steadily and firmly, and bear more and sweeter fruits. The principle of global common development is also the same!" (Xinhua News Agency)
