The long river of history is magnificent, and the tide of the times is vast.
2023 is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress. This year, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, more than 1.4 billion people in China strode forward along the road of Chinese modernization and made solid steps in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
In 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed the 10th anniversary of the concept of building a community of human destiny. In the past 10 years, building a community of human destiny has expanded from China’s initiative to an international consensus, from a beautiful vision to a rich practice, from an idea to a scientific system, and has become a glorious banner leading the times.
In 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader personally drew a picture to lead, and the diplomacy of a big country with China characteristics was solidly promoted. Under the lofty goal of building a community of human destiny, the diplomacy of a big country with China characteristics creates an active and favorable external environment for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and makes more and greater contributions to promoting the progress of world peace and development.
Promote the construction of a pattern of relations between major powers with peaceful coexistence, overall stability and balanced development
The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the relations between major powers have undergone new and profound changes. In 2023, China will always maintain its strategic strength, comprehensively manage its relations with all parties, and promote the construction of a pattern of relations between major powers with peaceful coexistence, overall stability and balanced development.
On March 20th, local time, on a sunny spring afternoon, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader arrived in Moscow by special plane. This is the first visit by the Supreme Leader since he was re-elected to president. As the largest neighbor and comprehensive strategic cooperative partner, Sino-Russian relations have a priority in their respective diplomatic overall situation and foreign policy. Under the current international situation, how to develop Sino-Russian relations is related to global strategic stability and security and to the evolution of the future world pattern.
The two heads of state met at the scene, and Russian President Vladimir Putin sincerely said: "All parts of the world are very concerned about the development of China, and I deeply admire your development achievements." The Chairman of the Supreme Leader responded: "Thank you, Mr. President, for always giving affirmation and praise to the development and construction of China. Our two countries have many identical or similar common goals, and we both strive for the development and prosperity of our respective countries. China will build Chinese modernization in the next step, and we can promote the realization of the goal through cooperation. " The two heads of state jointly signed the Sino-Russian Joint Statement on Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Cooperation in the New Era and the Joint Statement on the Development Plan of the Key Directions of Sino-Russian Economic Cooperation before 2030, making plans and arrangements for the development of bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields in the next stage. The two sides reiterated that they will continue to support each other on issues involving each other’s core interests and jointly resist attempts by external forces to interfere in internal affairs. The joint efforts of China and Russia to continuously enrich the connotation of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation in the new era will surely inject stronger impetus into the development and revitalization of the two countries and make greater contributions to promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

With the attention of the whole world, the first meeting between China and the United States was held here.

China is promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, while China does not take the old road of colonial plunder, the crooked road of dominating the country, or engage in ideological export. The words of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader have profound implications. In recent years, Sino-US relations have encountered serious difficulties. The root cause lies in the fact that the United States holds the Cold War and zero-sum mentality, regards China as its main competitor and the most important geopolitical challenge, and carries out all-round containment, containment and suppression. Clarify the cognitive fallacy so that the action will not go astray. China and the United States have different historical, cultural and social systems, but it is impossible not to deal with each other. It is unrealistic to want to change each other, and no one can afford conflict and confrontation. The correct approach is to adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, win-win cooperation and find a way for China and the United States to get along correctly in the new era.
"I have been thinking about how to make the huge ship of Sino-US relations avoid reefs and shoals, cross the stormy waves, and not yaw, stall or collide?" At the joint welcoming banquet of American friendship groups, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech, pointing out that "China is willing to be a partner and friend with the United States. Our fundamental follow-up in handling Sino-US relations is mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.

During the meeting in San Francisco, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out from a strategic perspective that China and the United States should jointly establish a correct understanding, effectively control differences, jointly promote mutually beneficial cooperation, jointly shoulder the responsibilities of big countries, and jointly promote cultural exchanges. The "five commons" have poured five pillars for the stable development of Sino-US relations and opened up a new vision of Sino-US relations facing the future. At the historical juncture, the first meeting between China and the United States in San Francisco has achieved important results, pointed out the direction for the healthy, stable and sustainable development of Sino-US relations, mapped out a blueprint, injected certainty and enhanced stability into a turbulent and changing world.
China-EU relations are related to the prosperity of the Eurasian continent and the stability of the world structure, and need to be jointly maintained and developed by both sides.

The Chairman of the Supreme Leader had in-depth exchanges with European leaders on strategic and global issues in China-EU relations, pointing out the direction, drawing a blueprint, boosting confidence and increasing momentum for China-EU relations.
Over the past year, China-EU relations have shown a good trend of comprehensive recovery and stability, which once again shows that China and Europe are partners, not rivals, and the common interests of both sides far outweigh their differences. The economies of China and Europe are highly complementary, and the ties between China and Europe’s interest communities will be tightened through deeper and broader cooperation, which will add impetus to the development of both sides and help them better cope with the challenges facing their respective development. China is promoting high-quality development and high-level opening-up, and is willing to regard the EU as a key partner in economic and trade cooperation, a priority partner in scientific and technological cooperation, and a credible partner in industrial chain and supply chain cooperation, and pursue mutual benefit and common development. As two major forces to promote multi-polarization, two major markets to support globalization and two major civilizations to advocate diversity, China and the EU insist on being partners of mutually beneficial cooperation, which will inject strong positive energy into world peace, stability and prosperity.
To promote coordination and benign interaction among major powers, China has a firm will and a leisurely pace. The world sees China’s sobriety, determination, self-confidence and wisdom, as well as the pattern and responsibility of a big country responsible for history, people and the world.
Carry forward the concept of sincerity and tolerance, and unswervingly follow the correct path of long-term good-neighborliness and common development and prosperity.
At present, Asia is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges, and promoting regional cooperation requires new responsibilities and new actions. China insists on regarding the periphery as a place to live, the foundation of development and prosperity, and always puts the periphery at the top of the overall diplomatic situation. Over the past year, China has unswervingly promoted regional peace, stability, development and prosperity, not only creating a good surrounding environment for its own development, but also making Chinese modernization more beneficial to the surrounding areas, jointly promoting the process of Asian modernization, and making China’s high-quality development and good surrounding environment promote and complement each other.

"Comrades plus brothers", China and Viet Nam have a special deep friendship. In December, General Secretary of Supreme Leader president paid a state visit to Viet Nam. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a long and in-depth strategic communication with General Secretary Ruan Fuzhong, and had a heart-to-heart talk on the experience of governing the party and the country.

"Global South" is a collection of emerging market countries and developing countries, which embodies the collective rise of emerging market countries and developing countries on the international stage. The discussion reflects that emerging market countries and developing countries are increasingly willing to pursue independence, unity and cooperation, and are increasingly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the international situation.

Building the "Belt and Road" stands on the right side of history, conforms to the logic of the progress of the times, and takes the right path on earth.
Building the "Belt and Road" is a major practice in building a community of human destiny. In the golden autumn of October, representatives from 151 countries and 41 international organizations gathered in Beijing to participate in the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum. This is the most important home diplomacy of China in 2023, and it is also the most grand event for the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative.
In the past 10 years, all parties have adhered to their initial intentions and walked hand in hand to promote the "Belt and Road" international cooperation from scratch, flourished and achieved fruitful results. Building the "Belt and Road" adheres to joint discussion, joint construction and sharing, transcends differences in different civilizations, cultures, social systems and stages of development, opens up new paths for exchanges among countries, builds a new framework for international cooperation, and brings together the greatest common denominator of common development of mankind.
"The course of 10 years has proved that co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ Standing on the right side of history, it conforms to the logic of the progress of the times and takes the right path in the world. " Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the third Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum, pointing out that China is willing to deepen the Belt and Road partnership with all parties, push the joint construction of the Belt and Road into a new stage of high-quality development, and make unremitting efforts to realize the modernization of all countries in the world.
At the opening ceremony of this summit forum, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader explained China’s proposition around world modernization for the first time: "We are not pursuing China’s modernization alone, but are looking forward to working with other countries, including developing countries, to realize modernization together. World modernization should be the modernization of peaceful development, the modernization of mutually beneficial cooperation and the modernization of common prosperity. " This important conclusion comes down in one continuous line with the idea of building a community of human destiny, and puts forward the grand vision of realizing world modernization together, which is a major innovation in the theory of world modernization.
China is an unswerving activist in promoting world modernization with peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity. Building the "Belt and Road", the most popular international public product and the widest and largest international cooperation platform in the present era, is the concrete action of China to promote world modernization with Chinese modernization.
"Build ‘ Belt and Road ’ Originated in China, achievements and opportunities belong to the world. " At the opening ceremony of this summit forum, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced that China supports eight actions to jointly build the Belt and Road with high quality, namely, building a three-dimensional interconnected network of the Belt and Road, supporting the construction of an open world economy, carrying out pragmatic cooperation, promoting green development, promoting scientific and technological innovation, supporting people-to-people exchanges, building a clean road and improving the international cooperation mechanism of the Belt and Road. The eight actions not only have specific goals, but also have important cooperation initiatives and institutional arrangements, which have injected confidence and strength into jointly creating prosperity and development prospects.
Over the past year, new cooperation achievements have been constantly emerging and new development momentum has been constantly emerging in generate. The century project of jointly building the "Belt and Road" is constantly helping to build a country to break the bottleneck of development and bring new opportunities for all countries to move towards modernization together. The 458 achievements of the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum are all being implemented. UN Secretary-General Guterres said that under the impetus of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, countries have accelerated the implementation of sustainable development goals, "bringing hope and progress to billions of people and the planet we share".
Building the "Belt and Road" has yielded fruitful results, making the development logic of "China is good and the world will be better" more deeply rooted in the international community. Despite the complicated international situation, China has always emphasized that development is the top priority of developing countries and always advocated that the international community should give priority to development. Since the beginning of this year, China’s economy has continued to pick up, and its growth rate has kept ahead among the major economies in the world. Near the end of the year, international organizations and financial institutions have raised their economic growth forecasts for China this year. It is generally believed that China is the biggest engine of global growth, and it will contribute 1/3 of the global economic growth this year. Promote Chinese modernization with high-quality development, and promote common development of the world with high-level opening up. China has continuously added momentum to the recovery of the world economy and gathered strength for global development cooperation. "Next ‘ China ’ , or China ",tells the international community’s firm confidence in China’s development prospects.
China is also a leading force in building a global development community. At present, the global development cause is facing severe challenges, and the development gap is intensifying. Making up the development deficit has become an arduous task for all countries in the world. China holds high the banner of multilateralism, gathers global development synergy with the concept of openness, tolerance, cooperation and win-win, and demonstrates the responsibility of big countries. At the BRICS+Leaders’ Dialogue, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced that China has set up a global development and South-South cooperation fund with a total amount of US$ 4 billion, and China financial institutions will soon launch a special fund of US$ 10 billion to implement global development initiatives. From "laying a foundation" and "building a framework" to "strengthening cooperation" and "showing tangible results", the global development initiative is action-oriented, fully meets the UN’s 2030 sustainable development agenda, closely meets the most urgent livelihood needs of developing countries, promotes cooperation platforms and partnerships in key areas such as poverty reduction, food security, industrialization and interconnection in the digital age, deepens pragmatic cooperation and strengthens development knowledge sharing, benefiting the vast number of developing countries. Amina Mohamad, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, believes that strengthening cooperation under the framework of global development initiatives "is the key to achieving our common goals for people and the planet".
Respond to complex and intertwined security challenges with unity and win-win thinking, and create a fair and just security pattern of joint construction and sharing.
Peace is like air and sunshine. If you benefit from it, you won’t feel it, but if you lose it, you won’t survive. Over the past year, the Ukrainian crisis has dragged on, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has broken out again. Some big countries have tried to push zero-sum games and camp confrontation, and a series of non-traditional security issues such as climate change, network security and artificial intelligence security have become more prominent. Without a peaceful and stable external environment, it is difficult for any country to achieve development.
To make up for the peace deficit and security deficit, what the world needs is a correct security concept and responsible actions. In April 2022, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader solemnly put forward the global security initiative, adhered to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and advocated a new security road of dialogue without confrontation, partnership without alliance, and win-win instead of zero sum. Over the past year or so, China has joined hands with the international community to actively implement global security initiatives, advocated bridging differences through dialogue and resolving disputes through cooperation, resolutely opposed all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and advocated coping with complex and intertwined security challenges with a spirit of unity and win-win thinking, so as to create a fair and just security pattern.
On March 10, a heavy news sensationalized the world: the dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran in Beijing achieved great results, and the two sides agreed to resume diplomatic relations. On April 6, the foreign ministers of the two countries met in Beijing. Under the witness of the Chinese side, the two sides signed a joint statement announcing the resumption of diplomatic relations from now on. "This is a sensational event" and "shocked the diplomatic world" "‘ Beijing agreement ’ Historical significance "and" China has laid a new milestone "… … This world-renowned mediation diplomacy has inspired the reconciliation trend in the Middle East, provided an important model for countries to resolve conflicts through dialogue and consultation, and is a successful practice in implementing global security initiatives. Egypt’s "Pyramid" believes that the conclusion of Shay’s "Beijing Agreement" indicates the birth of China’s plan based on peace and understanding.
The prolonged crisis in Ukraine has had an impact on peace and stability in Europe and the world. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward "Four Answers", "Four Commonness" and "Three Thoughts", which pointed out the direction for promoting political settlement of the crisis. During his visit to Russia, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader had an in-depth exchange of views with President Putin on the Ukrainian issue, stressing that "the more difficult it is, the more space should be left for peace; The more acute the contradiction, the more you can’t give up the dialogue efforts. " President Putin took the initiative to talk about the document "China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukrainian Crisis" issued by China, saying that Russia "has carefully studied China’s position document on the political settlement of the Ukrainian issue and is open to peace talks, and welcomes China to play a constructive role in this regard". In a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Zelensky at the request, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out that China has always stood on the side of peace on the Ukrainian crisis, and its core position is to persuade peace and promote talks. China has won wide recognition and support from the international community for speaking out for peace and doing its best for peace talks.
In October, a new round of conflict broke out between Palestine and Israel, and the escalating situation touched the world’s attention. Large-scale civilian casualties and the increasingly serious humanitarian crisis tested human conscience. At the critical moment, China firmly stands on the side of peace, justice, international law, the common aspiration of most countries and the conscience of mankind. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader attended the special video summit of BRICS leaders on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and delivered an important speech, focusing on explaining China’s position and proposition on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, pointing out that the most urgent task is to immediately cease fire and stop fighting, ensure the safe and smooth passage of humanitarian aid, and prevent the conflict from expanding, emphasizing that the fundamental way out to solve the cycle of Palestinian-Israeli conflict is to implement the "two-state plan." During China’s presidency of the United Nations Security Council in November, he issued China’s Position Paper on Solving the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, which promoted the Security Council to adopt the first resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli issue since the end of 2016 and the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Considering both the present and the long-term, the Chinese plan sets a clear direction for effectively solving the Palestinian-Israeli issue. The international community spoke highly of China’s long-standing and just stand on the Palestinian issue, and highly appreciated China’s strenuous efforts to protect civilians, ease the situation, restart peace talks and achieve peace.
Over the past year, faced with various non-traditional security threats, China has always been committed to promoting international cooperation and strengthening global security governance. During the first meeting between China and the United States in San Francisco, the two sides reached a consensus on strengthening cooperation in the field of climate change, which effectively boosted global confidence in tackling climate change. At the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, China participated in all-round and in-depth consultations on various issues, closely coordinated with the presidency and other parties, firmly safeguarded the common interests of developing countries, provided solutions to key issues in the negotiations, and promoted all parties to converge and assimilate differences, making important contributions to the positive results of the meeting. Focusing on promoting global artificial intelligence governance, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced that China has proposed a global artificial intelligence governance initiative. The initiative systematically and clearly expounded the China Path and China Scheme around the development, security and governance of artificial intelligence, and provided constructive solutions to the development and governance of artificial intelligence that all parties are generally concerned about, providing a blueprint for relevant international discussions and rulemaking.
The outstanding peace of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order. British philosopher Bertrand Russell commented on the peaceful tradition in China’s culture: "Some things in China’s supreme ethical quality are badly needed by the modern world." "If it can be adopted by the world, there will definitely be more happiness and peace on the earth than now." Today, more and more countries realize that China’s modernization is the growth of world peace and international justice.

China is not only the initiator of the global civilization initiative, but also an active practitioner. Over the past year, Chairman Nianzi, the Supreme Leader, has been here and worked hard to promote China’s mutual understanding and blind date with people all over the world. A sincere letter was sent from Beijing to the hands of Hungarian teenagers, Central Asian students, Bangladeshi children and teachers and students of Durban University of Technology in South Africa. A kind word is full of affection, which goes straight to the hearts of Greek scholars, Arab artists, Belgian friendly people, American friends and Cuban scientists.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the Communist Party of China (CPC) will be committed to promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and promoting the progress of human civilization." All kinds of civilizations created by human society are shining brightly, which have accumulated rich connotations and endowed with distinctive characteristics for the modernization of various countries, and have made important contributions to the modernization process of human society across time and space and national boundaries.
Over the past year, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has exchanged experiences with political parties in other countries to learn from each other in modernization, helping all parties to know and understand the civilized foundation and vivid practice of Chinese modernization, and to gather confidence and consensus in strengthening cooperation and creating a better future. Cadre delegations from Cambodia, Algeria, Panama, Colombia and other countries have a deep understanding of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s experience in governing the country and seek enlightenment for the revitalization of the country. All parties have further realized from the practice in China that there is no fixed model for modernization, and each country should explore a modernization road that suits its own national conditions.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) showed the world that a country can plan its own development path on the basis of respecting its own traditions and cultural characteristics. "
Only by tracing back to the source of history can we understand the real world, and only by following the foundation of culture can we identify today’s China, and only by learning from each other can we achieve common progress. The Chinese nation is an eclectic and all-embracing nation, and Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness.
