　　In this regard, Andrei van de Braque, a professor at the Free University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said that in the past, when people mentioned human rights, they might think more of some Western values. "But building a community of human destiny provides people with new opportunities and perspectives. Every country has its own national conditions and stages of development. Human rights are not only expressed in the West, but also understood by the East and developing countries. Building a community of human destiny is an opportunity for different cultures and countries to strengthen understanding, communication and cooperation. "

　　"Human rights are the common discourse and common standard of civilization in the 21st century. Under such an era background, it is timely to promote the development of human rights by building a community of human destiny." Li Yunlong said that the international community should abandon incorrect ideas and practices such as unilateralism and hegemonism, and promote the building of a community of human destiny through cooperation and mutual assistance. Developed countries should make greater efforts to help developing countries, and developing countries should also have more cooperation to achieve greater development.
