Chinese diplomacy promotes world peace and cooperation

China's major-country diplomacy has made solid progress in uniting the international community to meet various challenges and promote peace and development in 2024.

China has promoted the sound and steady development of its major-country relations, and led the Global South to unity and self-improvement. Through bustling head-of-state diplomacy, China has comprehensively promoted all-dimensional, multitiered and multidimensional major-country diplomacy, forging its image as a responsible major country with greater international influence and appeal.

China has always unswervingly followed the path of peaceful development and actively made efforts to restore peace in hot-spot regions. It has taken an objective and impartial stance and advocated for peace talks to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. On the Palestine issue, it has actively pushed the UN Security Council to adopt the first cease-fire resolution on Gaza, and brokered reconciliation talks among Palestinian factions and their signing of the Beijing Declaration.

Over the past year, China has made sound advancements in promoting Chinese modernization, attracting and inspiring countries in the Global South to pursue dreams together.

China is ready to share its development opportunities with other countries to achieve common development and mutual achievements, and it is willing to work together to realize the modernization of all countries in the world with peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity. The steady progress of China's Belt and Road Initiative over the past years has injected stronger impetus into the joint modernization of the countries involved and brought a fuller sense of gain to people around the world. China's successful poverty alleviation shows that with the resilience, perseverance and a struggling spirit, other developing countries can also succeed in solving their poverty problems.

In the process of eradicating poverty and seeking prosperity, China has explored a Chinese-style modernization path that transcends the Western experience. The Astana Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Summit of the BRICS leaders in Kazan and the informal meeting of APEC leaders in Lima show how much the international community respects China's status as a major power in the world and its recognition of China's leading role in the Global South.
