This month marks the ten-year anniversary of China's first Central Conference on Foreign Affairs, where President Xi Jinping introduced the concept of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. Over the past decade, this diplomatic approach has emphasized peaceful development, national renewal, and a commitment to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Peaceful Development and Stability
China has focused on peaceful coexistence and balanced development, safeguarding its national sovereignty and security while contributing to stability in the Asia region. By fostering major-country relationships, China has played a crucial role in maintaining peace, contrasting with conflicts seen in other parts of the world.
Global Initiatives and International Cooperation
Over the past ten years, China has launched three key Global Initiatives: the Global Development Initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Global Security Initiative. These initiatives have garnered support from over 100 countries and 20 international organizations, enhancing global connectivity and cooperation.
China's efforts have also been recognized in the United Nations, with its initiatives being adopted in UN General Assembly resolutions for seven consecutive years. Additionally, China has taken an active role in multilateral institutions like BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the G20, advocating for a more equitable global governance system.
As China celebrates this milestone, it reflects on a decade of diplomatic achievements that have significantly impacted international relations and global peace.
