The Global Women's Summit kicks off in Beijing today.
President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech with four proposals to accelerate the process of women's all-round development.
He also announced a donation of 10 million U.S.dollars to a United Nations body, UN Women.
The two-day summit aims to promote "global pursuit of gender equality and women's development."
President Xi Jinping attended the event with his wife Peng Liyuan.
In Xi's keynote speech, he noted that gender equality has become a consensus across the globe, but is still facing persistent challenges.
He proposed four suggestions, including jointly fostering an enabling environment for women's growth and development; cultivating powerful momentum for high-quality development for women's cause; developing a governance framework that protects women's rights and interests; and writing a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women.
He said Chinese women hold up half the sky and play a crucial role in the country's economic and social development.
Quoting an ancient Chinese saying, "Steadfast dedication yields an enduring fragrance," Xi calls for a better future where women can achieve all-round development.
Meanwhile, he revealed that 10 million U.S. dollars will be donated to UN Women over the next five years, hoping to help women across the world thrive.
