[CCTV Quick Comment] Carry forward the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind

"Faced with the historical choice of peace or war, prosperity or decline, unity or confrontation, we need more than ever to carry forward the spiritual connotation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and work tirelessly towards the lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind." On June 28, President Xi Jinping attended the commemorative meeting for the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and delivered an important speech. In his speech, President Xi reviewed and summarized the historical origins and important significance of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, profoundly expounded the rich connotations and important contributions of the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, solemnly put forward the Chinese initiative to promote global peace and development, and clearly announced a series of Chinese actions to better support cooperation in the "Global South", once again declaring to the world China's firm determination to follow the path of peaceful development.

President Xi Jinping's important speech was full of profound thinking on history, in-depth analysis of reality, and long-term planning for the future. The practical paths and action plans he proposed painted a beautiful vision for promoting global peace and development and issued an inspiring call, which aroused enthusiastic responses from the guests, the "global South" countries and the international community.

China has always been an active advocate and firm practitioner of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. Entering the new era, President Xi Jinping proposed the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. This concept is an important part of Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought. It has established a new model of equality and coexistence, opened up a new realm of peace and progress, and enriched the new practice of development and security. It has received warm resonance and support from the international community, including the United Nations. From the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to building a community with a shared future for mankind, what has been consistent is China's innovative exploration of relations between countries, and what has been unswerving is China's commitment to world peace and development. This inheritance, promotion, and sublimation are fully reflected in President Xi Jinping's theoretical and practical innovation in promoting China's major power diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, and President Xi's global vision and world sentiment as a leader of a major country are everywhere demonstrated.

The world today is full of turmoil, and the great changes unseen in a century are accelerating. Carrying forward the spirit of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and working together to build a community with a shared future for mankind are of even greater practical significance and far-reaching historical significance. President Xi Jinping stressed that we must uphold the principle of sovereign equality, consolidate the foundation of mutual respect, realize the vision of peace and security, gather the driving force for building prosperity together, uphold the concept of fairness and justice, and demonstrate an open and inclusive mind. These "six initiatives" focus on the common interests of mankind, proceed from long-term development, and point out the direction for countries to work together to cope with crises and challenges. We must keep in mind the future and destiny of mankind, take the well-being of the people as our priority, and promote the implementation of the initiatives.

The great cause of building a community with a shared future for mankind cannot be achieved without the support and participation of the "Global South". Standing at a new historical starting point, the "Global South" should work together with a more open and inclusive attitude and take the lead in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. China has always been a member of the "Global South" and will always be a developing country. China will work with all parties to implement a series of practical measures announced by President Xi Jinping, strengthen South-South cooperation, promote North-South cooperation, and continue to inject strong impetus into the common development and solidarity and cooperation of the Global South.

Chinese modernization is modernization on the path of peaceful development. President Xi Jinping solemnly declared that China's determination to follow the path of peaceful development will not change, its determination to cooperate with other countries in a friendly manner will not change, and its determination to promote common development in the world will not change. The "three determinations will not change" have once again made the international community deeply understand the outstanding characteristics of Chinese modernization. China will firmly follow the right path of peaceful development, strive to explore solutions to hot issues with Chinese characteristics, actively expand equal, open and cooperative global partnerships, steadily expand institutional opening-up, and continuously provide new opportunities for the world with China's new development.

The future is worth looking forward to, and challenges must be met. Guided by Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought, we should take the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence as a starting point, shoulder the historical mission, and move forward hand in hand with courage and determination, running forward one baton after another, advancing one step at a time, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and create a better future for human society.
