On December 8, Ambassador Lu Kang was invited to attend the 15th Bali Democracy Forum (BDF). In his speech, Ambassador Lu Kang emphasized that all countries enjoy equal rights to development, and should work together to make global development more inclusive, resilient, and beneficial to all. The international community should take into account factual and historical differences of countries, and help developing countries strengthen capacity building through active and effective global public goods, including technology transfer, so as to support their acceleration on the road to modernization.
