On the centenary of the armistice of World War I, it is high time the hegemonic zero-sum game that is sometimes played was finally halted, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Delegates from around 70 countries gathered in France on Nov 11 to mark the centenary of the end of World War I. As one of the bloodiest wars in history, the war involved five European empires and dozens of world powers, ending up with an Europe left in ruins and almost a generation of youth depleted.
To avoid the mistakes of the past, nations of the world must abandon a hegemonic mentality and endeavor to build a community of shared future for mankind as well as a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, equality and cooperation with win-win results for all.
A new type of international relations should aim at more cooperation and win-win results. As the world becomes more and more intertwined, no country alone can handle challenges such as terrorism, cyber security and climate change. To maintain peace and stability, countries should break down their ideological and camp divisions. After all, nations can thrive not by building protectionist walls but by working hand-in-hand, Xinhua stated.
