Since the beginning of the year, in the face of a complex situation in which the world has undergone major changes unseen in a century and the epidemic of the century is superimposed on each other, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has coordinated both domestic and international situations, coordinated development of security issues, coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic development. Social development, calmly observe, calmly respond to the changes in the international situation.
Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, all fronts across the country have united and forged ahead, fully implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and advanced various tasks. A series of important new achievements have been made in the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The foreign work is based on Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, and my country continues to promote major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
In February and March this year, we overcame various difficulties and challenges such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic and successfully held the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, which attracted worldwide attention.
About 170 official representatives from nearly 70 countries and international organizations attended the Winter Olympics, nearly 3,000 athletes from about 90 countries and regions participated, and billions of spectators around the world watched the games, setting a record for the highest ratings of the Winter Olympics. The powerful momentum of politicization has completely defeated the sinister intention of anti-China forces to interfere and sabotage my country's hosting of the Olympic Games, and take the opportunity to contain and suppress my country.
The intensive head-of-state diplomacy and home-court diplomacy around the Winter Olympics fully demonstrated China's self-confidence and openness as a major country and its responsibilities as a major country in promoting world peace and development, and greatly brought together people from all over the world for peace and friendship, solidarity and cooperation, civilization and progress, and a common future. international consensus, injecting confidence and hope into a turbulent world.
In March, we successfully convened the National "Two Sessions", successfully completed the various agendas, fully reflected the common aspirations of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, brought together the great forces that promote the development of the party and the country, and forge ahead with confidence in the new journey, writing democracy, unity. The new chapter of seeking truth and forging ahead has once again demonstrated to the world the institutional superiority and unique advantages of my country's people's democracy throughout the process.
Since the beginning of the year, in the face of the challenges brought about by the rising complexity and uncertainty of the external environment, the CPC Central Committee has taken a far-sighted and scientific decision to issue a series of policies that are conducive to the stable development of the economy and society. Overall stability, people's livelihood guarantees are strong and effective, and new progress has been made in high-quality development, demonstrating resilience against shocks and strong vitality.
In the first quarter, my country's GDP grew by 4.8% year-on-year, ranking among the world's major economies and continuing to be the main driving force for world economic growth.
From January to April, my country's total trade import and export volume increased by 11.2% year-on-year, and the actual use of foreign capital increased by 20.5% year-on-year. The level of opening up continued to improve.
my country is promoting the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement to take effect as scheduled, and the world's largest free trade zone with the largest participating population, the most diverse membership structure and the greatest potential for development was officially launched. A year-on-year increase of 3.9%; ASEAN continued to be my country's largest trading partner, with a trade volume of 1.84 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%. my country's trade with other Asian countries also maintained a good growth momentum.
International institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank generally believe that China has sufficient policy space to boost the economy, and the prospect is worth looking forward to.
In the face of the new wave of global new crown pneumonia epidemic, we have always adhered to the principle of people first and life first, adhered to external defense imports, internal defense rebound, insisted on dynamic clearing, and continuously optimized prevention and control measures according to the situation and the situation, and achieved major strategic results. 14 The lives and health of hundreds of millions of Chinese people have been effectively guaranteed.
Our prevention and control policy is determined by the nature and purpose of the party. It is scientific and effective, and has ensured a sound economic and social development. It has received firm support from the Chinese people and is highly valued by the mainstream of the international community.
In the spirit of being responsible for the lives and health of people around the world and working together with other countries to overcome difficulties, my country has supplied more than 2.2 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations, and will continue to provide 600 million to African countries and ASEAN countries respectively. 150 million doses of vaccines.
my country protects people's lives with solid, effective and responsible epidemic prevention and control measures, and fulfills its solemn commitment to building a community of human health with concrete and continuous investment.
This is in stark contrast to the fact that some people in the West ignore the facts and confuse black and white on the fight against the epidemic.
We have full confidence to win the tough battle of epidemic prevention and control and make greater contributions to the global fight against the epidemic.
Facing the complex and turbulent international situation, China's foreign affairs work continues to break through the waves.
The diplomacy of the head of state leads the overall situation of my country's foreign affairs in an all-round way. General Secretary Xi Jinping has in-depth communication and exchanges with foreign leaders and heads of international organizations in various forms, which has effectively promoted the development of my country's relations with all parties under the new situation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference and delivered a speech, and delivered a video keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference. China's propositions are expounded on major issues such as Asian cooperation, which will effectively lead the development of the international order in the right direction.
The party and other leading comrades of the state also actively carry out foreign exchanges.
We have deepened our work on major countries, neighboring countries, developing countries, and multilateral mechanisms, and our global partnership has continued to consolidate and develop.
We have resolutely and forcefully responded to some countries' use of Taiwan-related, Xinjiang-related, Hong Kong-related, maritime-related, human rights and other issues to interfere in my country's internal affairs and put pressure on China's provocations, demonstrating our firm will and strong confidence in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests.
We have strengthened comprehensive responses to the Ukraine crisis, stated our policy positions based on the merits of the matter, played a constructive role independently, put forward Chinese proposals on resolving the crisis, put forward Chinese proposals on preventing the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis, and denounced and refuted all kinds of erroneous arguments and groundless accusations against our country.
We uphold justice internationally, dare to take responsibility, and firmly uphold fairness and justice, which is widely understood and recognized by most countries, especially developing countries.
The key to the above achievements lies in the wise decisions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee, the correct guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the concerted efforts of the whole Party, the army and the people of the whole country.
Based on the strategic goal of containing China, some countries chose to turn a blind eye to China's great achievements and outstanding contributions to the cause of international peace and development. Instead, proceeding from the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, they did everything possible to spread false information and attack and smear my country. He is keen to hold various meetings to encourage himself and seek his own selfish interests, and creates camp confrontation by forming cliques and engaging in "small circles", in an attempt to undermine the security and stability of my country's surrounding areas and damage my country's core and major interests.
Their conspiracy will never succeed.
Facts have proved that we have firmly grasped the general trend of world development and the correct direction of history. We have the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the significant advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, a solid foundation for sustained and rapid development and accumulation, a long-term stable social environment and self-confidence. The "five strategic favorable conditions" of the spiritual strength of self-improvement, any conspiracy that attempts to delay and prevent the development of our country is doomed to failure, and the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely be realized.

Faced with the new characteristics of the international situation and the new characteristics of my country's external environment, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward a series of important new ideas, new propositions and new initiatives, in order to lead the world in the right direction, solve the international security dilemma, achieve common development of the world, protect human life and health, Upholding true multilateralism provides a guide to action.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the changes in the world, the changes in the times, and the changes in history are unfolding in an unprecedented way, posing challenges to mankind that must be taken seriously. It is necessary to follow the trend of the times of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and move towards the right direction of building a community with a shared future for mankind, join hands to meet challenges and cooperate to create a future.
The current and future period will be a critical stage for the continuous advancement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the in-depth evolution of the great changes in the world. Various new problems and new challenges in the international situation will appear complex changes that are predictable and unpredictable, but crises and opportunities are always The key to coexistence and coexistence is how to seize opportunities and be good at turning crises into opportunities.
Some countries try to change the trend of the times by messing up the world and changing the trend of the times by creating countercurrents. This kind of reversal of history cannot shake the fundamental direction of the great change in the world.
We must continue to deepen our understanding of the great changes in the world, and in the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must work with all countries in the world to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and safeguard my country's long-term fundamental interests in adapting to, leading, and shaping the great changes in the world.
General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on coping with global common challenges and promoting the common security of the world, and put forward a global security initiative, emphasizing that security is the premise of development and that mankind is an indivisible security community. Countries have sovereignty and territorial integrity, adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, attach importance to their legitimate security concerns, resolve differences and disputes between countries peacefully through dialogue and consultation, and maintain overall security in traditional and non-traditional areas.
At present, the mid- and long-term trends of the international situation are intertwined with phased characteristics. The Cold War mentality of some countries has never disappeared. Hegemonism and power politics are deeply rooted. Security risks still pop up from time to time.
We must uphold the new security concept, oppose all forms of hegemony and bullying, oppose interference in other countries' internal affairs under various pretexts, oppose the generalization of the concept of national security to contain and suppress other countries, oppose the politicization and weaponization of economic and technological issues, and must Adhere to promoting countries to follow a new path of state-to-state exchanges in which dialogue is not confrontation, and partnership is not alliance.

Put it in a prominent position in global macro policies, implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, promote the synergy of existing development cooperation mechanisms, and promote balanced global development.
At present, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on global poverty reduction results, and problems such as the North-South gap, recovery differentiation, development gap, and technological gap have become more prominent. The stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain faces many risks and challenges, and policy adjustments in some countries have produced serious negative spillovers effect.
We should promote the building of an open world economy, strengthen macro-policy coordination, and promote balanced, coordinated and inclusive global development.
To promote the implementation of policies, measures, and actions in all countries, it is necessary to give top priority to whether it is conducive to people's livelihood and well-being. It is necessary to pay attention to the urgent needs of developing countries, and to promote cooperation in key areas such as poverty reduction, food security, development financing, and industrialization. Solve the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping made a series of major judgments and important expositions on coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, emphasizing that people's life safety and physical health are the prerequisites for human development and progress. Solidarity is the only correct way to overcome the epidemic. It is recommended that all countries support each other, strengthen the coordination of epidemic prevention measures, improve global public health governance, form a strong international force to deal with the epidemic, and accelerate the building of a community of human health.
At present, the global epidemic is still at a high level, and there is still great uncertainty in the final direction. It is far from the time to breathe a sigh of relief and rest.
The impact of the epidemic has continuously penetrated into all aspects of the international political economy and social life of various countries. Some people in the West have made accusations against my country and wantonly smeared and attacked our social system by fighting the epidemic.
We must always keep a clear head, unswervingly adhere to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", and resolutely fight against all words and deeds that distort, doubt and deny my country's anti-epidemic policies, and actively promote countries to strengthen international anti-epidemic cooperation and jointly build a multi-faceted anti-epidemic policy. Line of defense, bridge the international "immunity gap", oppose any words and deeds that restrict each other and "shake the blame" for no reason, and jointly protect human life and health.
In response to the new challenges faced by multilateralism and global governance, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that anyone who insists on building a "small courtyard with a high wall" and a "parallel system", and anyone who is keen to create exclusive "small circles", "small groups" and divide the world. Acts, any decoupling, cutting supply, and extreme pressure will seriously weaken the efforts of the international community to respond to common challenges, emphasizing the need to uphold genuine multilateralism, and firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at the core and the international order based on international law. .
The fact is that most countries in the international community strongly oppose the advocacy of the Cold War mentality and camp confrontation, and are very clear about the extreme egoistic nature of its "fake democracy, true dimension hegemony".
We must practice the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, carry forward the common values of all mankind, and advocate exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations.
We should vigorously advocate the democratization of international relations, promote the development of developing countries' representation and voice in global affairs, join hands with the international community to address global challenges, and continuously reform and improve the global governance system.
A series of major expositions and important thoughts of General Secretary Xi Jinping have profoundly revealed the deep laws of the development and evolution of the international situation, embodying the responsibility and responsibility of China and other countries to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and to maintain security and promote development for all countries in the chaotic and changing situation. It pointed out the direction and was highly praised and generally welcomed by the international community.
The continuous innovation and development of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy is the fundamental basis for us to analyze and grasp the current international situation.
my country's promotion of building a community with a shared future for mankind reflects the aspirations of the people of all countries in the world, represents the right direction of historical evolution, and is an important driving force leading the development of the world's major changes.
We must unify our thoughts and actions into the major assertions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, firmly establish a correct view of history, the overall situation, and the role, look at the essence through the phenomenon, and look at the long-term through the current.
