At a symposium hosted by the Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy research center in Beijing on December 9, 2025, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasised that Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy provides powerful intellectual tools and scientific guidance for Beijing to advance its diplomatic efforts.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, described Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy as a dynamic, open Marxist theory that has driven both theoretical innovation and practical transformation in the Chinese mainland's external work.
What is Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy?
Developed under the personal leadership of General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping, this framework:
- Positions national rejuvenation as a diplomatic priority, linking China's modernization to global development.
- Advocates an inclusive approach, championing a community with a shared future for humanity.
- Highlights the role of ideological commitment, upholding Chinese characteristics in guiding foreign policy.
- Seeks to shape a favourable international environment to support China's rise on the world stage.
Driving Forward China's Global Strategy
Wang Yi noted that the reissue of the study outline on Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy offers an opportunity for diplomats and scholars to deepen their understanding of its advanced nature in driving both theory and practice. Looking back on the recent achievements in diplomacy, he affirmed that strategic guidance from the top is the fundamental guarantee for consistency, while unwavering commitment to the party's ideals remains the foundation of China's convictions.
As China continues to navigate complex global challenges—from climate change to digital governance—mastery of this diplomatic doctrine will be key for young professionals, international relations students, and entrepreneurs aiming to engage with Beijing's evolving international agenda.
With this symposium, the research center aims to foster a new generation of diplomats equipped to translate Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy into concrete actions, shaping global cooperation in the decades to come.
