A New Form of International Relations
In an address at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations in March 2013, Xi Jinping brought up this idea for the first time. He said, “All countries should join hands in building a new form of international relations characterized by cooperation and mutual benefit.”
The world today is in a period of profound and complex changes, and the trend of the times – peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit – is gaining momentum. But upholding world peace and promoting common development remain a long and uphill battle. Humankind has never been better blessed to take strides toward peace and development, and mutually beneficial cooperation provides the only practical way to achieve such a goal.
China advocates a new form of international relations based on cooperation for the benefit of all. In building such a model, countries should follow the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, observe the basic rules governing international relations, such as not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and respecting each other’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, support the primary role of the UN and its Security Council in defending world peace, and engage in dialog and cooperation, so as to achieve win-win and all-win.
To build a new form of international relations based on cooperation for the benefit of all, the international community needs to build partnerships based on equality, consultation and mutual understanding, to create a security architecture that is fair, just and shared by all, to pursue open, innovative and inclusive development that benefits all, to increase inter-civilizational exchanges that promote harmony in diversity and are mutually enriching, and to encourage ecological conservation and protection, putting Mother Nature and green development first.
To this end, the world must pursue peaceful development, promote democracy in international relations based on the rule of law, reform and improve global economic governance, and foster a new form of global partnership for development. Then development will be of benefit to every corner of the Earth.
新型國際關系
2013年3月，習近平在莫斯科國際關系學院演講時提出，“各國應該共同推動建立以合作共贏為核心的新型國際關系”。當今世界正在發(fā)生深刻復雜的變化，和平、發(fā)展、合作、共贏的時代潮流更加強勁，但維護世界和平、促進共同發(fā)展，依然任重道遠。今天的人類比以往任何時候都更有條件朝和平與發(fā)展的目標邁進，而合作共贏就是實現(xiàn)這一目標的現(xiàn)實途徑。中國倡導建立合作共贏的新型國際關系，核心是維護聯(lián)合國憲章的宗旨和原則，維護不干涉內政和尊重國家主權、獨立、領土完整等國際關系基本準則，維護聯(lián)合國及其安理會對世界和平承擔的首要責任，開展對話和合作，實現(xiàn)雙贏和共贏。構建以合作共贏為核心的新型國際關系，需要建立平等相待、互商互諒的伙伴關系，營造公道正義、共建共享的安全格局，謀求開放創(chuàng)新、包容互惠的發(fā)展前景，促進和而不同、兼收并蓄的文明交流，構筑尊崇自然、綠色發(fā)展的生態(tài)體系。構建新型國際關系，必須堅持和平發(fā)展，推進國際關系民主化和法治化，改革完善全球經濟治理，建立新型全球發(fā)展伙伴關系，讓發(fā)展成果公平惠及地球每個角落。
