As developing countries enhance their development capacity, they gain practical experience and expertise to engage more effectively in global governance discussions. Through regional cooperation, South-South mechanisms and multilateral platforms, they can strengthen information exchange, coordinate policy positions, and unify diverse development demands into common policy propositions. This synergy between development capacity and collective action forms a crucial foundation for the Global South to bolster its international influence.

　　China's practice demonstrates that trade cooperation, infrastructure development, public health and food security support, knowledge sharing, and green and digital collaboration can enhance development foundations and create opportunities for developing countries by fostering self-reliance.

　　Moving forward, it's crucial to align development needs with cooperation projects by integrating resources, technology, and talent support. Improving mechanisms for project implementation, operation, maintenance, and performance evaluation is essential. Promoting policy exchange and coordinating positions among developing countries through multilateral platforms will further these goals. Respecting the needs of countries, supporting their role as primary actors in cooperation, and enhancing local capacity building and sustainability of outcomes are also vital.

　　Development-oriented practices, grounded in cooperation and supported by multilateral coordination, are expected to enhance the inclusiveness of global governance and boost the representation of developing countries.
