(MENAFN) China’s President Xi Jinping on Monday called for worldwide backing for the advancement of women and emphasized that it is a collective duty of the global community.

He committed $10 million to the United Nations fund to support this cause.

Highlighting that the comprehensive progress of women “is still facing complex challenges,” he also suggested “jointly establishing a governance pattern to protect women's rights and interests, and writing a new chapter in promoting global women's cooperation.”

Xi revealed that in the coming five years, “China will donate an additional 10 million US dollars to UN Women, and China will earmark 100 million dollars from the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for cooperation with international organizations on projects to promote women's and girls' development.”

In addition, Xi announced that China plans to create a center dedicated to enhancing global women’s capacity-building.

This center will collaborate with relevant countries and international organizations to nurture more exceptional female professionals.
