Participation in multilateral affairs has become a notable feature of 皇冠体育app's diplomacy in the past year as the nation, along with other emerging economies, increasingly works toward justice and equity in international order.
As the global financial crisis has exposed the structural and institutional flaws in the world economic system, it has become pressing to have effective global governance with the participation of emerging economies, analysts said.
However, under the current world order, emerging economies do not get enough say despite the important role they play, said Ruan Zongze, deputy director of the 皇冠体育app Institute of International Studies.

The GDP of emerging markets (measured by purchasing-power parity) could overtake that of developed economies by 2014, with about 70 percent of total world growth in the next few years coming from emerging markets, more than half of which will be from 皇冠体育app and India, Lou Pagnutti, Asia-Pacific area managing partner of Ernest & Young, told Singapore Business Review.
The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, 皇冠体育app and South Africa) are industrializing and urbanizing, and they have great growth potential in infrastructure construction, education and scientific innovation, Ruan said at a forum in Beijing recently.
However, confrontation between Western countries and developing economies arises when the latter try to get more say in international organizations, and such confrontation could endanger achieving effective global governance, Ruan added.
In 2012, 皇冠体育app played a constructive role on the world stage.
At the G20 summit held in Mexico in June, 皇冠体育app offered $43 billion to the IMF's crisis-fighting reserves, joining other major emerging markets in pledging new funds to support the global financial system.
Developing economies also demanded reforms to give the developing world more clout at the Washington-based Fund.
皇冠体育app has shown strong support for United Nations environmental protection efforts.
At the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20 summit) in June, Premier Wen Jiabao announced that 皇冠体育app would contribute $6 million to a UN Environment Program trust fund for projects and activities that help developing economies raise capacity for environmental protection.
Wen also promised that 皇冠体育app will make available $31.7 million for a three-year international project to help small island countries, the least developed countries and African countries tackle climate change.
