Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 20. The opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia 2021 Annual Conference was held in Boao, Hainan on the morning of the 20th. President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech entitled "Together in the same boat to overcome difficulties, destiny and create the future together" in a video format.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that since the establishment of the Boao Forum for Asia 20 years ago, it has witnessed the extraordinary journey that China, Asia and the world have gone through, and has played an important role in promoting the development of Asia and the world.

At present, a century of changes and a century of epidemics are intertwined and superimposed, and the world has entered a period of turbulent change.

We are in an era full of challenges, but also an era full of hope.

Where should human society go?

What kind of future should we create for future generations?

Regarding this major proposition, we must proceed from the common interests of mankind and make a wise choice with a responsible attitude.

China proposes that countries in Asia and the world should respond to the call of the times, work together to overcome the epidemic, strengthen global governance, and make continuous progress towards building a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　——We must negotiate on an equal footing to create a win-win and shared future.

We should adhere to true multilateralism and promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.

International affairs should be handled by everyone through consultation, and the future and destiny of the world should be controlled by all countries.

The world should be fair, not overbearing.

A big country must look like a big country and show more responsibility.

　　——We must open up and innovate to create a prosperous future.

We must promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, deepen regional economic integration, consolidate supply chains, industrial chains, data chains, and talent chains, and build an open world economy.

Artificial "building walls" and "decoupling" violate economic laws and market rules, harming others and detrimental to ourselves.

　　——We must work together to create a healthy and safe future.

Strengthen information sharing and joint prevention and control, strengthen international cooperation on new crown pneumonia vaccines, comprehensively strengthen global public health security governance, and jointly build a human health community.

Promote international cooperation on climate change.

　　——We must uphold justice and create a future of mutual respect and mutual learning.

We must abandon the Cold War mentality and zero-sum game, and oppose any form of "new cold war" and ideological confrontation.

When countries get along, equality, mutual respect and mutual trust must be put in the forefront.

We must promote the common values ​​of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all mankind, and advocate exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations.

　　Xi Jinping announced that China will host the Second Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations as soon as the epidemic is brought under control, to play an active role in promoting dialogue between Asian civilizations and the world.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that the "Belt and Road" is a sunny avenue for everyone to move forward hand in hand, not a private path of one party. It pursues development, advocates a win-win situation, and conveys hope.

We will continue to work with all parties to jointly build the “Belt and Road” with high quality, practice the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, promote the concept of openness, greenness, and integrity, and strive to achieve high standards, people's livelihood, and sustainable goals.

We will build closer health partnerships, closer interconnection partnerships, closer partnerships for green development, and closer partnerships for openness and inclusiveness, and make positive contributions to the common prosperity of mankind.

　　Xi Jinping emphasized that 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

The Communist Party of China seeks happiness for the Chinese people, rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and great unity for the world.

China will continue to be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order.

China will always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and actively promote the construction of a new type of international relations.

No matter how far it develops, China will never seek hegemony, expand, seek spheres of influence, or engage in an arms race.

China will actively participate in multilateral cooperation in the field of trade and investment, promote the construction of a free trade port in Hainan, and promote the construction of a new higher-level open economic system.

All parties are welcome to share the huge opportunities in the Chinese market.

　　In conclusion, Xi Jinping said that we will set sail together and ride the wind and waves for thousands of miles.

Although there are sometimes turbulent waves and high tides, as long as we work together and keep track of the course, the giant wheel of human social development will surely move steadily and farther, and sail for a better future!
