This month marks the ten-year anniversary of China's first Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs, held in Beijing from November 28 to 29, 2014. During this landmark event, President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of pursuing major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
Over the past decade, China has made significant strides in its diplomatic efforts, focusing on peaceful development and national renewal. 🕊️ The country has successfully safeguarded its sovereignty and development interests, even in the face of external pressures. By fostering relationships based on peaceful coexistence and balanced development, China has played a crucial role in maintaining regional stability and contributing to Asia's cherished \"long peace\".
China's commitment to being a responsible major country is evident through its initiatives aimed at building a community of a shared future for mankind. This vision has gained international support, being included in the UN General Assembly resolutions for seven consecutive years.
In addition to this overarching vision, China has launched three key Global Initiatives:
Global Development Initiative: Garnering support from over 100 countries and 20 international organizations, this initiative focuses on enhancing global development through cooperation and connectivity.
Belt and Road Initiative: As the world's largest platform for international cooperation, it has facilitated numerous inter-connectivity projects across the globe.
Global Security Initiative: Playing a pivotal role in mediating conflicts, China has been instrumental in the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and in promoting peace talks regarding the Ukraine crisis and Middle East conflicts.
On the cultural front, the Global Civilization Initiative has promoted mutual understanding and trust among different civilizations, fostering a more interconnected world. 🌐
China has also amplified its presence in international organizations like the UN, BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the G20, advocating for a more equitable global order and supporting the interests of the \"Global South.\" These efforts have earned China widespread respect and recognition on the international stage.
As we celebrate this decade of diplomatic achievements, China continues to enrich and evolve its diplomatic philosophy, seeking new horizons in fostering global peace and cooperation. 🚀
