On August 25, 2022, the "Global Thinkers Special", co-organized by CGTN and iGCU, was successfully held in Beijing. Leading scholars and former dignitaries from the U.S., U.K., Norway, Singapore, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, and Egypt were invited to the event. During the event, scholars and experts shared their distinctive viewpoints on the current geopolitical landscape as well as the prospect of developing countries in the next twenty years.

H.E.Nabil Fahmy (Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt) suggested that developing countries with the support from China will need to look at a rebalancing of world order. It's time to go towards a collective balance of interest and to understand the collective common good. Developing countries need to get engaged in a world community and speak out on how to look towards the future. While developing countries are having significant economic growth, H.E.Fahmy emphasized on the importance for emerging economies to have a higher value-added share in the production line. He added that the emerging economies do not wish to stick with the role of raw material providers forever, and believes that China can help the developing countries significantly in industry upgrading. Moreover, H.E. Fahmy stressed that developing countries need to take their own regional conflicts in a more constructive and aggressive fashion rather than let the conflicts be the priority of major powers.
