外交部駐香港特別行政區特派員公署特派員劉光源在《南華早報》發表署名文章《新征程的中國外交為世界和平發展貢獻更大力量》
中英文全文:
中國共產黨二十大報告強調，「中國共產黨是為中國人民謀幸福、為中華民族謀復興的黨，也是為人類謀進步、為世界謀大同的黨」，並對「推動構建人類命運共同體」專題闡述，指出「中國始終堅持維護世界和平、促進共同發展的外交政策宗旨，致力於推動構建人類命運共同體」。
中國不僅是這樣說的，更是這樣做的。黨的二十大勝利閉幕後，習近平主席即赴印度尼西亞出席G20領導人第十七次峰會、赴泰國出席APEC第二十九次領導人非正式會議並訪問泰國、接着又赴沙特出席首屆中國—阿拉伯國家峰會、首屆中國—海灣阿拉伯國家合作委員會峰會並對沙進行國事訪問，並密集開展一系列重要雙邊會見，還在北京先後會見了到訪的多個國家和歐洲理事會領導人。中國元首外交掀起新高潮，充分體現習近平主席作為大黨大國領袖的天下情懷和卓越風範。在習近平主席擘畫引領和親力親為下，新征程的中國特色大國外交將在全球變局中不斷開創新局，為世界和平發展貢獻中國力量。
中國特色大國外交引領全球治理方向，展現大國應有擔當。在當前世界之變、時代之變、歷史之變正以前所未有方式展開之際，習近平主席在G20峰會和APEC領導人非正式會議上再次呼籲各國樹立人類命運共同體意識，倡導和平、發展、合作、共贏，在中東之行倡導構建更加緊密的中阿命運共同體，得到廣大國家熱烈呼應。面對層出不窮的全球性挑戰，習主席還以強烈的歷史擔當和國際情懷提出全球發展倡議和全球安全倡議，為促進各國發展繁榮、解決國際安全赤字提供中國智慧、中國方案。無論國際風雲如何變幻，中國將始終做世界和平的建設者、全球發展的貢獻者、國際秩序的維護者，堅持真正的多邊主義，不斷推進國際關係民主化，推動全球治理朝着更公正合理的方向發展。
中國特色大國外交拓展全球夥伴關係，打造對話合作典範。二十大前後，習近平主席累計同40多個國家領導人舉行雙邊會見，增進了互信、推動了合作、收穫了友誼。中國的朋友圈越來越廣，新朋友越來越多，老朋友越來越鐵。新加坡總理李顯龍說，地區人人都想跟中國交朋友。阿盟秘書長發言人說，中國是阿拉伯國家值得信任的朋友和夥伴。這是因為中國外交從不以意識形態差異劃線，從不認同「文明衝突」這一開歷史倒車的偽命題，而是堅持國家不分大小、強弱、貧富一律平等，尊重世界文明多樣性以及各國人民自主選擇的發展道路和社會制度，走出一條結伴而不結盟、對話而不對抗的國與國交往新路。立足五千年中華文明和新中國外交優良傳統，中國將持續建設相互尊重、公平正義、合作共贏的新型國際關係，深化拓展平等、開放、合作的全球夥伴關係，致力擴大利益匯合點，畫出最大同心圓。
中國特色大國外交服務民族復興偉業，開創世界發展機遇。習近平主席東南亞之行闡述了新形勢下推進亞太合作的「六點思路」，在首屆中阿峰會提出中阿一道推進「八大共同行動」，並在一系列雙多邊場合系統、深入、精闢講述二十大的故事、中國式現代化的故事、中國與世界合作共贏的故事，傳遞中國一如既往推動世界和平與發展、深化對外開放與合作的強勁信號。明年中方還將考慮舉辦第三屆「一帶一路」國際合作高峰論壇。在全面建設社會主義現代化國家新征程上，中國將堅定不移走高質量發展之路，堅持對外開放的基本國策，堅定奉行互利共贏的開放戰略，不斷以中國新發展為世界提供新機遇，推動建設開放型世界經濟。
九萬里風鵬正舉。2023年是全面貫徹落實黨的二十大精神的開局之年。中國外交邁入新時代，立足新方位，將堅持自信自立、胸懷天下，堅持維護世界和平、促進共同發展，為實現民族復興和促進人類進步作出新貢獻，書寫新篇章！
China is sharing its vision of cooperation with the world
The vision of the Communist Party of China is a global one. In his report delivered during the 20th party congress in October, President Xi Jinping declares that 「the party pursues not only happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, but human progress and world harmony」.
The report sheds light on China』s foreign policy goals of peace and development, and on its vision for a global community with a shared future. It』s a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese diplomacy.
This vision goes beyond rhetoric: China walks its talk. Soon after the conclusion of the party congress, President Xi kicked off two busy months of overseas summits. In November, he travelled to Bali for the G20 Leaders』 Summit, followed by a trip to Bangkok for the Apec Economic Leaders』 Meeting. In December, he flew to Riyadh for the first China-Arab States Summit and the China-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit.
On the sidelines of these summits, Xi held a whirlwind of bilateral meetings with foreign heads of state, and government and international organisations. Back in Beijing, he also received visiting leaders from countries including Pakistan and Germany, and from the European Council.
Xi』s hectic diplomatic schedule is testament to his pursuit of stronger global engagement and closer cooperation as the head of a major political party and country. With the president personally overseeing these efforts, Chinese diplomacy is charting a path through global uncertainties towards peace.
Firstly, China』s diplomacy leads the way for global governance.
At a time when changes are unfolding around the world like never before, Xi stressed at both the G20 summit and Apec meeting the imperative for all countries to champion peace, development and win-win cooperation. On his Middle Eastern trip, he underscored the importance of building a closer China-Arab community with a shared future. These calls were warmly echoed by the leaders of participating countries.
In the face of emerging global challenges, Xi has also put forward the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative – China』s latest solutions for closing the growth and peace deficits worldwide.
Whatever the international situation, China will act as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order. To promote democracy in international relations and make global governance more equitable, we will play an active part in the reform and development of the global governance system, and uphold true multilateralism.
Secondly, China』s diplomacy sets an example for dialogue and cooperation.
The face-to-face meetings between President Xi and leaders of more than 40 countries during his recent trips to Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East have greatly enhanced mutual trust and cooperation between China and these countries. China is building a wider circle of new friends, while strengthening bonds with old ones.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong once said that every country in the region wanted to make friends with China. Jamal Rushdie, a spokesman for the secretary general of the Arab League, also stated that China is a reliable friend and partner of Arab states.
Countries around the world trust China because China does not conduct its diplomacy on the basis of ideological similarities and differences or according to a 「clash of civilisations」 theory. Instead, it champions equality among all countries, irrespective of their size, strength and wealth, and the diversity of cultures.
We respect the development paths and social systems chosen by the people of each country and have blazed a new trail in relations between countries that favour dialogue over confrontation, and partnership over alliance.
China will carry forward its 5,000-year civilisation and the fine traditions of its diplomacy over the past seven decades, build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and deepen its global partnerships by seeking and accommodating converging interests with the rest of the world.
Thirdly, China』s diplomacy creates opportunities for the world.
In Indonesia, Xi laid out six priorities for Asia-Pacific cooperation; in Riyadh, he put forth eight major initiatives for China-Arab cooperation; in Bangkok, he announced that China would consider holding the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation next year.
In both bilateral and multilateral forums, President Xi has shared with world leaders the details of China』s 20th party congress and the meaning and intent of Chinese-style modernisation. He has also given vivid examples of win-win cooperation between China and the rest of the world, making clear China』s significant contributions to global peace, development, openness and cooperation.
As China sets out on a new journey of building a modern socialist country, it will adhere to high-quality development, uphold the basic national policy of opening up with a mutually beneficial strategy, and champion the right cause of economic globalisation.
By advancing high-quality belt and road cooperation and promoting trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation, China will provide more opportunities for the world with its own development.
The year 2023 will be the inaugural year to implement the guiding principles of the 20th party congress. China』s diplomacy will continue to stand up for world peace and development, and the whole Chinese diplomatic service will make all-out efforts for national rejuvenation of China and human progress of the world.
