Xi Jinping stressed that the process of human social development has twists and turns, and the process of exploring the road of modernization in various countries is full of hardships. In today's world, multiple challenges and crises are intertwined, the world economy is struggling to recover, the development gap is widening, the ecological environment continues to deteriorate, the ghost of the Cold War mentality is still lingering, and the process of modernization of human society has once again come to the crossroads of history. To this end, he put forward five proposals: we must adhere to the concept of putting the people first and highlight the people's nature in the direction of modernization; It is necessary to uphold the principle of independence and self-determination and explore the diversity of modernization paths; It is necessary to establish a sense of integrity and innovation and maintain the continuity of the modernization process; It is necessary to carry forward the spirit of self-reliance and enhance the universality of the results of modernization; It is necessary to maintain a vigorous and active attitude and ensure the firmness of modern leadership.

Xi Jinping pointed out that realizing modernization is the dream that Chinese people have been striving for in modern times. The history of the Communist Party of China for more than 100 years of uniting and leading the Chinese people to pursue national rejuvenation is also a history of constantly exploring the road of modernization. After several generations of unremitting efforts, we have embarked on the path of Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is based on its own national conditions and draws on the experience of other countries, inherits history and culture, integrates modern civilization, benefits the Chinese people, and promotes the common development of the world.

Xi Jinping stressed that the Communist Party of China will be committed to promoting high-quality development and promoting global development and prosperity. We will accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, continuously expand high-level opening up, continue to relax market access, and make the door open wider and wider. With the advancement of China's modern industrial system construction, we will provide more and better Chinese manufacturing and Chinese creation for the world, and provide the world with a larger scale of Chinese market and Chinese demand. We will firmly support and help developing countries accelerate their development, realize industrialization and modernization, and provide Chinese solutions and Chinese strength for narrowing the gap between the North and the South and achieving common development. We are willing to work with political parties of all countries to promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, accelerate the implementation of global development initiatives, cultivate new momentum for global development, and build a global development community.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the Communist Party of China will be committed to safeguarding international fairness and justice and promoting world peace and stability. Chinese-style modernization does not follow the old path of colonial plunder, does not follow the crooked path of national strength and hegemony, and follows the right path of peaceful development. We advocate bridging differences through dialogue and resolving disputes through cooperation, resolutely oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and advocate the spirit of unity and win-win thinking to address complex and intertwined security challenges, so as to create a security pattern of fairness and justice, joint construction and sharing. The world does not need a "new cold war", and provoking division and confrontation under the banner of democracy is itself a trampling on the spirit of democracy, which is unpopular and endlessly harmful. China's modernization is the growth of the world peace force and the growth of the international justice force, no matter how far it develops, China will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion.

Xi Jinping stressed that the Communist Party of China will be committed to promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and promoting the progress of human civilization. The modernization path with different characteristics of different countries and regions in the world today is rooted in the rich and diverse inheritance of civilizations. All kinds of civilizations created by human society are shining brightly, accumulating a rich foundation and endowing them with distinctive characteristics for the modernization of all countries, and have made important contributions to the modernization process of human society across time and space and national boundaries. As a new form of human civilization, Chinese-style modernization will greatly enrich the hundred gardens of world civilization by learning from other civilizations around the world.
