BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Only when countries develop together can there be true development, and only when countries prosper together can there be true prosperity, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday.

Uneven development must be addressed before broader prospects for humanity's common development could be brought about, Xi said.
