Addressing other world leaders at a summit in Beijing, Mr. Xi said it was necessary to coordinate policies with the development goals of institutions including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), ASEAN, the African Union and the European Union.

The initiative has been supported by several world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
