BOAO, Hainan, March 28 (Xinhua) -- China advocates an equal and orderly multipolar world and inclusive economic globalization, China's top legislator said on Thursday.

Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, made the remarks in a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2024.

China calls on all countries to transcend the old mentality of bloc confrontation and zero-sum games and practice genuine multilateralism to jointly build an open world economy, Zhao said.
