Since the founding of New China 75 years ago, under the leadership of the CPC, China has always adhered to an independent foreign policy of peace, firmly defended national sovereignty, security and development interests, and firmly safeguarded international fairness and justice. China, which is increasingly approaching the center of the world stage, continues to make new and greater contributions to the noble cause of human peace and development.
A just cause should be pursued for the common good.

On June 28, 2024, the 70th anniversary of the promulgation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence was solemnly held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence -70 years ago, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were officially published, becoming a great innovation in the history of international relations.
The relay of history runs forward one after another, and the cause of human progress advances step by step in answering the questions of the times. In the new era, facing the major issue of "what kind of world to build and how to build this world", China has once again provided the answer to the era of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
The path of benefit follows the times. From advocating the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, China's diplomacy has grown and progressed in the turbulent international situation. Now, the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind has expanded from a Chinese initiative to an international consensus, and from a beautiful vision to rich practice, effectively promoting the world towards a bright future of peace, security, prosperity, and progress.

When it comes to China's initiatives such as promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, former Greek President Pavlopoulos sincerely praised them.

In October 1949, amidst the joy of the birth of the People's Republic of China, the first batch of diplomatic envoys of New China rode bicycles through the excited crowds on the streets of Beijing, delivering the "Announcement of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China" to representatives of old foreign institutions in China.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has firmly adhered to an independent and peaceful foreign policy, and has made many friends in the international community. In the new era, China is promoting the construction of a new type of international relations characterized by mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, and continuously building a global network of partnerships. The new path of "dialogue without confrontation, partnership without alliance" in state to state exchanges is becoming increasingly solid.

Representatives from the governments of China and Nauru signed a joint communiqu é on the restoration of diplomatic relations here. The total number of countries where China has established diplomatic relations has reached 183.

Knowing each other knows no distance, even thousands of miles are neighbors.
On October 25, 1971, the 26th United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed Resolution 2758, which decided to restore all rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and recognized the representatives of the government of the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China in the United Nations. At the moment the resolution was passed, the United Nations General Assembly Hall was boiling with applause, singing, and cheers that lasted for a long time
Over the course of 75 years, from being excluded from the Western world to joining almost all universal intergovernmental organizations and over 600 international conventions; From rising to third place in voting rights at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, to promoting the establishment of the New Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank... China's international discourse power has been comprehensively enhanced.

This is an unforgettable scene during the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation: On the morning of September 4, 2024, President Xi Jinping, along with Tanzanian President Hassan and Zambian President Hitchlema, witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Tanzania Zambia Railway Activation Project.
The Tanzan Railway has written a special and inspiring friendship, and also carries the common dream of realizing modernization. More than half a century ago, over 50000 Chinese engineering and technical personnel traveled to Africa and built the Tanzania Zambia Railway with sweat, blood, and even their lives. Today, China signed documents with Tanzania and Zambia to activate this railway, not only to comfort our ancestors, but also to inspire future generations and give new vitality to this path of friendship in the new era.
From the "Tanzania Zambia Railway" to the "the Belt and Road", the Chinese people have always been committed to promoting common development and constantly providing new win-win opportunities for the world with China's new development.
  With connectivity as the main line, we should strengthen policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial integration, and people to people ties with other countries, and jointly build the "the Belt and Road" with high quality to inject new momentum into world economic growth, open up new space for global development, and create a new platform for international economic cooperation.
Today, China has signed more than 230 cooperation documents on jointly building the "the Belt and Road" with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. Across the differences in civilizations, cultures, social systems and development stages, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" brings together the greatest common denominator of human common development.
The centennial changes are accelerating and the world is entering a new period of turbulence and transformation. The deficits in peace, development, security, and governance continue to increase, posing unprecedented challenges to human society.
Development is the eternal theme of human society. From being on the brink of expulsion to becoming the world's second-largest economy, China has created a groundbreaking development miracle in the history of human society. In 2021, when the global development industry encountered headwinds, China put forward a global development initiative, adhering to the concept of prioritizing development and putting people at the center, promoting the accelerated implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and striving to achieve stronger, greener, and healthier global development.
In the past three years, the Global Development Initiative has received support and participation from over 100 countries and multiple international organizations, including the United Nations. More than 80 countries have joined the "Friends of the Global Development Initiative Group". The Chinese side has established the Global Development and South South Cooperation Fund, which has supported over 150 projects and fully launched the construction of the Global Development Promotion Center network.
Security is the foundation and prerequisite for development. For over 70 years, China has been a steadfast defender of world peace and security. In 2022, facing endless international security challenges, China has put forward the Global Security Initiative. Mediating the handshake and peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran, facilitating historic reconciliation among various factions within Palestine, promoting political resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, deepening international cooperation in counter-terrorism, information security, biosecurity, artificial intelligence governance, public health, and combating transnational crime, China demonstrates its responsibility as a major country.
Resolving the prominent contradictions and problems faced by humanity requires relying on material means to overcome difficulties, as well as spiritual strength, sincerity, and sincerity.
In 2023, China proposes the Global Civilization Initiative to promote cultural exchange and mutual learning, and enrich the world's civilization garden. Hold the Conference on Dialogue among Asian Civilizations, the high-level dialogue between the CPC and the world political parties, the China Central Asia Summit...
