At the meeting, Xi pledged to uphold multilateralism and pointed out that China and Europe are two major forces in the world, and are important participants in and builders of the economic globalization process.
That gathering, Raffarin said, was the first step towards building "a new type of multilateralism in the 21st Century."
As transformations are taking place in global governance, the current more than seven-decade-old multilateral system needs fresh impetus, he said.
In terms of strength, Asia and Africa are now very different from what they were after World War II, and they should be properly represented in the multilateral system, added the French statesman.
"SWISS ARMY KNIFE"
Expounding on his vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind at the UN Office at Geneva in early 2017, Xi recalled the first time he got a Swiss army knife.
He said he was amazed that it has so many functions and could not help thinking "how wonderful it would be if an exquisite Swiss army knife could be made for our world affairs. When there is a problem, we can use the knife to fix it."
In the eyes of many, such a multi-functional kit for world cooperation is already unfolding.
Ahead of a trip to Beijing in April, Guterres told the press that through the BRI, China has created development opportunities.
There are more investments, trade and growth, which not only contribute to poverty reduction, employment and improvement of infrastructure in developing countries, but also promote environmental construction and social stability and development, said the UN chief.
