Shortly after the conclusion of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in 2023, major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics began a new journey. From March 3 to 20, President Xi Jinping visited Russia to continue to write a new chapter in China's adherence to peaceful development and win-win cooperation in international affairs.
Ten years ago, also in the spring, during President Xi Jinping's first foreign visit as China's top leader, he put forward the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind in Russia, providing Chinese solutions for jointly addressing global challenges and creating a better future for mankind.
Over the past 10 years, the international situation has changed rapidly, and the influence and appeal of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind have become more and more prominent, gathering broad international consensus and injecting strong confidence, courage and strength into jointly building a better world.
The Light of Truth Illuminating the Times - "China's Plan is: Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind and Achieve Win-Win Sharing"
"In this world, the degree of interconnection and interdependence of countries has deepened unprecedentedly, human beings live in the same global village, in the same time and space where history and reality converge, and have increasingly become a community of destiny between you and me."
Moscow Institute of International Relations, 2013 March 3. Deeply grasping the trend of the times, President Xi Jinping put forward for the first time the important concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.
At this time, the world is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment, and mankind has many positive factors and faces many difficulties and challenges. What kind of world is being built? How to build the world? It has become the question of the times before all mankind.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is a profound reflection on the proposition of the times of "where is human society going", and a Chinese solution for building a better world.
United Nations Headquarters, New York, 2015 September 9. At the general debate of the 28th session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, systematically explaining the main connotations of a community with a shared future for mankind from five aspects: partnership, security pattern, development prospects, civilizational exchanges and ecosystem.
2017 January 1, Palais des Nations, Geneva. President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the high-level meeting on "Discussing and Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind", which not only answered "what is wrong with the world and what should we do" from a historical and philosophical perspective, but also systematically outlined the practical path of building a community with a shared future for mankind from a realistic perspective.
"Adhere to dialogue and consultation to build a world of lasting peace", "Adhere to joint construction and sharing, build a world of universal security", "Adhere to win-win cooperation and build a world of common prosperity", "Adhere to exchanges and mutual learning to build an open and inclusive world", "Adhere to green and low-carbon, build a clean and beautiful world" - this is the beautiful vision of a community with a shared future for mankind presented by China to the world in the new era.
In the past 10 years, from proposing the overall path of "five-in-one" to drawing the overall layout of "five worlds"; From building a community of shared future between countries and at the regional level to building a community of shared future in cyberspace, nuclear security, oceans, health and other areas in the global field; From the Belt and Road Initiative to the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative... The connotation of the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind has been continuously enriched and developed, and the ideological system has been improved day by day.
Over the past 10 years, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has continued to take root in the hearts of the people, successively written into the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, and important documents of multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which has had a far-reaching impact on the development of China and the world. "China has become an important pillar of multilateralism, and the purpose of our practice of multilateralism is to build a community with a shared future for mankind." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, focusing on the common interests and common well-being of all mankind, is a transcendence of the Western realist theory of international relations that wins and loses and zero-sum game.
"A community with a shared future for mankind, as the name implies, means that the future and destiny of every nation and country are closely linked, and we should share hardships and hardships, share glory and disgrace, and strive to build the planet where we were born and grew up in Sri Lanka into a big harmonious family, and turn the aspirations of the people of the world for a better life into reality." President Xi Jinping actively advocated this, and even more firmly promoted it.

Since sending the first medical team to Algeria in 1963, China's medical team to Africa has traveled all over Africa. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, China and Africa helped each other, united to fight the epidemic, and interpreted the true meaning of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind with practical actions.
In the face of the global pandemic, China launched the largest global emergency humanitarian operation since the founding of the People's Republic of China, shared epidemic prevention and control and diagnosis and treatment plans with more than 180 countries and international organizations, sent 34 medical expert teams to 38 countries, and provided more than 120.22 billion doses of vaccines to more than <> countries and international organizations, unswervingly promoting the building of a community of human health and health.

President Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, it is not to replace one system with another, not to replace another civilization with one civilization, but to have symbiotic interests, rights and responsibilities among countries with different social systems, different ideologies, different histories and cultures, and different levels of development in international affairs, forming the greatest common denominator for jointly building a better world.
"Building a community with a shared future for mankind is an important concept with a far-sighted vision and the interests of all mankind, and is committed to promoting social inclusion, benefit sharing, common development and common benefit." José Reinaldo Carvalho, former secretary of politics and international relations of the Communist Party of Brazil, said.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is rooted in Chinese civilization for more than 5000,<> years, and absorbs the essence of the "view of the world" and "culture" in traditional Chinese culture——
"The great harmony of the world and the harmony of all nations are the beautiful vision of the Chinese nation for human society since ancient times, and they are also the cultural origin embodied in the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind." In his reply letter to the teachers and students of the "China Corner" of St. Margaret's Secondary School in Malta, President Xi Jinping explained this.
The world will not forget that in February 2022, despite the adverse impact of the epidemic, China hosted the Beijing Winter Olympics as scheduled, demonstrating to the world the determination and confidence of mankind to face difficulties and overcome challenges. When the grand fireworks bloomed over the "Bird's Nest" with the Olympic rings symbolizing unity and the Chinese and English characters of "One Family Under Heaven", the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind was perfectly interpreted.
On October 2022, 10, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which attracted worldwide attention, was grandly opened. In the warm applause, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a report to the conference on behalf of the <>th Central Committee.
"Our party is determined to carry out the great cause of the Chinese nation for a thousand years, is committed to the noble cause of peace and development of mankind, has an extremely heavy responsibility and an extremely glorious mission."
"China has always adhered to the foreign policy purpose of safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, and is committed to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind."
Along with the irreversible historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China will continue to play a greater role in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Hand in hand with all parties to move forward - "The key to building a community with a shared future for mankind lies in action"

After the strong earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, the Chinese government immediately provided emergency humanitarian assistance to Turkey and Syria, dispatched 21 batches of relief personnel and 308 person-times to provide urgently needed relief materials to Turkey, accelerated the implementation of food aid projects for Syria, and interpreted the concept of sharing a common destiny and sharing a storm with practical actions.
Not in fantasy, not in vain.
China has closely linked its future and destiny with the future and destiny of the peoples of the world, firmly safeguarded world peace, promoted the common development of all countries, promoted exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and written a new chapter of solidarity.
On October 2019, 10, at the celebration of the 1th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the phalanx of the "Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" composed of 70 foreign friends from 96 countries made its debut in the mass parade, which attracted people's attention.
"On the journey ahead, we must adhere to the path of peaceful development, pursue an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win results, and continue to work with people around the world to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind." Upstairs in Tiananmen Square, President Xi Jinping solemnly declared to the world.
China adheres to the path of peaceful development and also urges all countries to jointly follow the path of peaceful development. Delivered a speech at the German Kolber Foundation, refuting the outdated logic that "a strong country must be hegemonic", emphasizing that the path of peaceful development is beneficial to China and the world; Attended the series of summits marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and announced the establishment of the China-United Nations Peace and Development Fund; Held a meeting with US President Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia, emphasizing that China and the United States should work with other countries to enhance hope for world peace, increase confidence in global stability, and add impetus to common development...
Instead of following the old path of the rise of traditional powers through war, colonization and plunder, China has embarked on a new path of state-to-state exchanges of "dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather than alliance", promoted the construction of a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation, and opened up the way and created conditions for building a community with a shared future for mankind.

China has established diplomatic relations with 181 countries and established different forms of partnership with more than 110 countries and international organizations, constantly promoting and improving the global partnership network characterized by equality, openness and cooperation.
Like-mindedness is a partner, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is also a partner. Adhering to this concept, China makes friends all over the world.
In the past 10 years, President Xi Jinping has visited more than 40 countries, covering five continents of the world; Attended and presided over a series of major home diplomatic events in China, and received hundreds of visiting international dignitaries; Widely carry out "cloud diplomacy" by telephone, letter, video, etc...

The Right Way for the Future - "Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind is the Future of the People of All Countries in the World"
Shortly after the victory of the 2022th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from November 11 to 14, 19, President Xi Jinping embarked on a world-renowned trip to Southeast Asia.
During 6 days and 5 nights, President Xi Jinping attended more than 30 activities intensively. From Bali, Indonesia to Bangkok, Thailand, there is an endless stream of visitors from Chinese delegations; From the G<> Summit to the APEC Economic Leaders' Informal Meeting, China's voice and proposal not only attracted the participants, but also aroused the attention of public opinion.
The international media generally believe that in the face of the chaotic and intertwined international situation, China has issued a loud voice of peace and cooperation, demonstrating its rational, confident and responsible responsibility as a major country.

At present, the changes in the world, the times, and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way. On the one hand, the historical trend of peace, development, cooperation and win-win results is unstoppable, and on the other hand, hegemonic and hegemonic bullying behaviors such as bullying, cleverness and zero-sum games are deeply harmful, and human society is facing unprecedented challenges.
"The world's problems are complex, and the way to solve them is to uphold and practice multilateralism and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind." President Xi Jinping has shown the way forward for a world at a crossroads.
In the face of the rising trend of unilateralism, hegemonism and protectionism, China firmly upholds and practices true multilateralism and firmly supports strengthening the role of the United Nations.
On October 2021, 10, the 25th anniversary of the restoration of the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations was held in Beijing.
"All countries in the world should uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter."
"International rules can only be set by the 193 Member States of the United Nations, not by individual countries and groups of countries. International rules should be observed by the 193 Member States of the United Nations, with no and no exceptions. ”
"All countries in the world should uphold an attitude of respect for the United Nations, cherish and protect this big family, and never use it in concert or abandon it if it is not in agreement, so that the United Nations can play a more active role in the noble cause of promoting peace and development of mankind."

President Xi Jinping's eloquent words conveyed China's unequivocal support for safeguarding the authority and status of the United Nations. Adhering to this concept, China has sent more than 30,5 peacekeepers to nearly 2030 UN peacekeeping operations, making it the second largest contributor to UN peacekeeping operations and an important troop contributor. Firmly support the World Health Organization in playing a leading role in global anti-epidemic cooperation and actively carry out international cooperation in anti-epidemic cooperation; Establish a South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund to support developing countries in implementing the United Nations <> Agenda for Sustainable Development...
In the face of the profound adjustment of the international balance of power, China holds high the banner of building a community with a shared future for mankind, promotes the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction, and strives to enhance the representation and voice of emerging market countries and developing countries in global affairs.
On June 2022, 6, the BRICS cooperation mechanism after 24 glorious years ushered in another historic moment. Under the "BRICS+" model, China initiated and hosted the High-level Dialogue on Global Development, which was attended by leaders of 16 emerging market countries and developing countries from all over the world.
Five years ago, during the Xiamen meeting, where China holds the rotating presidency, President Xi Jinping assessed the situation and proposed the concept of "BRICS+" for the first time in the history of BRICS cooperation: the significance of BRICS cooperation has gone beyond the scope of the five countries, carrying the expectations of emerging market countries, developing countries and even the entire international community.
In the past few years, the "BRICS+" model has been continuously deepened and expanded, and has become a model for emerging market countries and developing countries to carry out South-South cooperation and achieve joint self-strengthening.
And not only the BRICS mechanism. Over the past decade, China has successively hosted important international conferences such as the APEC Beijing Summit, the G10 Hangzhou Summit, the SCO Qingdao Summit, the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, and the High-level Dialogue between the Communist Party of China and World Political Parties, leaving a distinctive "Chinese imprint" in the process of multilateral mechanism development. Initiated the establishment of the AIIB, the New Development Bank, and the Silk Road Fund to build a new cooperation platform for global financial governance...
In the face of the new trends and new characteristics of the international situation, President Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas and initiatives, put forward China's propositions and Chinese solutions to deal with global challenges, continuously enriched and improved the ideological system of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and promoted the innovative development of global governance concepts.
"Development is the key to people's happiness. In the face of the severe impact of the epidemic, we must jointly promote global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and inclusiveness. ”
On September 2021, 9, President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Development Initiative for the first time at the general debate of the 21th session of the United Nations General Assembly, calling on the international community to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and build a global development community with a shared future.
Over the past year and a half, global development initiatives have taken root and gathered responders. More than 100 countries and international organizations, including the United Nations, support global development initiatives, and nearly 70 countries have joined the Group of Friends of Global Development Initiatives.
Security is a prerequisite for development. In order to promote world security and common security, in April 2022, President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Security Initiative at the annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia, advocating a new security path of dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather than alliance, and win-win rather than zero-sum. In less than a year, more than 4 national and regional organizations have expressed their appreciative support.
On March 2023, 3, an international news attracted global attention - China, Saudi Arabia and Iran signed and issued a joint statement announcing that the two sides agreed to resume diplomatic relations. This is a victory for dialogue and peace, and a successful practice of vigorously implementing the Global Security Initiative.
From the Middle East issue to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to the Ukraine crisis, in the face of a series of international and regional hotspot issues, China has always adhered to promoting peace and talks, advocated the peaceful settlement of disputes, and committed to building a security community with the international community.
On March 2023, 3, the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National People's Congress (NPC) and the World Political Parties held a high-level dialogue via video link. General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the high-level dialogue and delivered a keynote speech, discussing with leaders of more than 15 political parties and organizations in more than 150 countries around the theme of "The Road to Modernization: The Responsibility of Political Parties", solemnly putting forward the Global Civilization Initiative, emphasizing the promotion of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and the progress of human civilization.
Ideas lead to action, and direction determines the way out. Under the situation that the epidemic of the century and the changes of the century are intertwined and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, the global development initiative, global security initiative and global civilization initiative proposed by China have injected a steady stream of strong impetus into the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind on the new journey.
We live in challenging times, but also times of hope.
Facing the future, China will, as always, contribute to world peace and tranquility, to the common development of the world, to the exchange and mutual learning of world civilizations as always, and to work with other countries to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and work together to build a better world!
