"As
a member of the Asian family and a responsible major country in the global
community, China will continue to build peace, contribute to development and
uphold order in the world, and work for a new type of international relations
and a community with a shared future for mankind."
This is
the remarks made by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Fifth Summit of the
Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) held
in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
With unprecedentedly
active diplomatic activities in the first half of this year, China has embraced
a further rise in its international influence, ability to inspire and power to
shape.
On many bilateral and multilateral occasions, President Xi has made voices for
safeguarding world peace and security, promoting
mutual trust among major countries and neighboring security, and offering solutions
that address both the symptoms and root causes of global problems.
He
called on people of all countries to build an open, inclusive, clean and
beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and common
prosperity, which showcased the sense of responsibility of the leader of a
major country.
The
world is undergoing unprecedented changes and adjustments. Human beings are
faced with common challenges as instability and uncertainties are mounting and
traditional and non-traditional security issues become more salient.
Based on
a thorough insight into the human destiny and the trend of the times, President
Xi proposed a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable
security. He encourages countries to forge a new type of international
relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation,
follow the principle of consultation, cooperation and benefit for all in global
governance, and inject positive energy into building a world of universal
security.
China has
made a loud and clear voice to build a world of universal security. At a
China-France forum on global governance, Xi offered Chinese solutions to
address the deficit of governance, trust, peace and development, stressing that
all countries should shoulder their due responsibilities and take concrete
actions to grasp the destiny of mankind.
At the
St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, he highlighted sustainable
development as a "golden key" to solving global problems.
During
the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit held in Bishkek, capital of
Kyrgyzstan, Xi said that SCO members should make the organization an example of
common security. Besides, he stated that building a safe and stable Asia is the
common objective of Asian countries at the fifth summit of the CICA.
Eying
global peace and common development, President Xi has always attached great
importance to the building of a world of universal security.
China has
signed a joint communiqué with Italy to advance bilateral comprehensive
strategic partnership and inked an agreement with France to jointly safeguard
multilateralism and improve global governance.
The
country vowed to strengthen contemporary global strategic stability in a joint
statement it signed with Russia. Besides, it also reached agreements on further
deepening comprehensive strategic partnerships with both Kyrgyzstan and
Tajikistan.
Furthermore,
President Xi’s historic visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK) has promoted the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and contributed
to the peace and stability on the peninsula.
China
will strengthen bilateral cooperation and focus on regional and global common security
to enhance security with each party concerned.
Building
a world of universal security is increasingly becoming a consensus of the
international community. Some foreign experts said that the new security concept
put forward by China is a feasible solution to disputes and would contribute to
regional security and stability. They also said China’s practices of the new
vision of security serve as a major force in maintaining peace and stability.
Learning
China's plans and actions to build a world of universal security, the world is
more and more accepting the new vision of security proposed by President Xi.
This new
vision reflects the characteristics of the international situation and the
requirements of the development of the times. It is also in line with the
common voice of all countries for peace, development and cooperation.
Since it
was put forward in 2014, the vision has been brought up for multiple times at
UN meetings. It has also been included in the multilateral cooperation documents
such as the declaration of CICA summit and that of the Council of Heads of
State of the SCO.
Human
beings dwell on the same planet, and global countries are increasingly becoming
a community with shared future that shares of weal and woe. To pursue common
security and cooperative security is a natural demand for them.
President
Xi has reiterated that China will firmly uphold the authority and stature of
the UN, respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of
other countries and adhere to the principle of non-interference in others' internal
affairs, encouraging countries in the world to jointly safeguard security
through cooperation.
Russian
President Vladimir Putin said that Russia and China should continue to
strengthen coordination on major international and regional issues, jointly
deal with the challenges of unilateralism and protectionism, and maintain
global peace and stability.
Emmanuel
Macron, President of France, said that France and the EU are willing to deepen mutual
trust with China and shoulder the historic responsibility of promoting world
peace, security and development together.
The tree
of peace does not grow on barren land while the fruit of development is not
produced amidst flames of war. Development is the foundation of security and also
the largest guarantee of security. Only by promoting security through
development can symptoms and root causes of problems both be addressed.
At the
2nd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, participating parties
reached broad consensus on promoting high-quality construction of the Belt and
Road initiative, and the win-win results delivered at the forum have injected
new energy to the high-quality development of the world economy.
During Xi’s
overseas trips, he repeatedly elaborated Chinese plans to address the
development deficit, and the plans have been broadly accepted by the world,
which contributed to the shaping of a new model in which sustainable security
is promoted by sustainable development, and economic cooperation and security
cooperation are having sound interactions and synchronized progress.
"United
we stand, divided we fall." In an era of globalization, no country can
address alone the many challenges facing mankind; no country can afford to
retreat into self-isolation.
It is a
common aspiration of the people from all countries to build a world with
universal security free from fear and create a security architecture featuring
fairness, justice, joint contribution and shared benefits.
Offering
Chinese wisdom to solving global security problems, China’s new security
concept and practices are envisioning a bright prospect of long-term security
and common prosperity for the world.
