ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese-proposed Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative will support global solidarity and peace toward stronger partnership and development, a senior Ethiopian government official has said. "Ethiopia's support to the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative put forward by China, and its readiness to work together with China to implement these initiatives is a testament of our cooperation on a global scale," said Ethiopia's Minister of Finance Ahmed Shide. The Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI), proposed by China in 2021 and 2022, respectively, constitute important practical support for the concept of a community of a shared future for humanity, which provides Chinese solutions to pursuing world peace and common prosperity. He said Ethiopia and China enjoy a comprehensive and strategic partnership for several decades based on mutual benefit and trust. China has been Ethiopia's number one source of FDI, biggest trading partner, and largest project contractor for many years."
