Strengthen the cooperation of political parties and strive for the happiness of the people

——Keynote speech at the summit of the Communist Party of China and world leaders of political parties (Beijing, July 6, 2021)

Dear party leaders, Ladies and gentlemen, friends

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, I am very glad to join more than 500 political parties, political organizations and other leaders from more than 160 countries, more than 10000 political parties and representatives from all walks of life in the "cloud" to discuss the major topic of "seeking happiness for the people and the responsibility of political parties". During this period, more than 600 political parties and organizations from more than 170 countries sent more than 1500 congratulatory messages on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, expressing their friendship and best wishes to the Communist Party of China. On behalf of the Communist Party of China, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all!

A few days ago, we held a meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Over the past 100 years, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to continue their struggle, and promoted the great leap of the Chinese nation from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong. Over the past 100 years, the Communist Party of China has adhered to the common destiny of the Chinese people and the people of all countries in the world, grasped the direction of China's development in the overall situation of the world and the trend of the times, and promoted the common development and prosperity of all countries.

The historic achievements of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people are inseparable from the strong support of the people all over the world. Here, on behalf of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the political parties, people and friends of all countries who care about, support and help the Communist Party of China and the cause of Chinese revolution, construction and reform!

Ladies and gentlemen, friends!

Today's world is undergoing a great change that has not happened in a century. World multipolarization and economic globalization are undergoing profound changes. Countries are more closely related, interdependent and influencing each other. For novel coronavirus pneumonia challenge, economic recovery and world stability, the international community has made painstaking efforts, and political parties have made positive explorations and demonstrated their responsibilities. At the same time, wars and conflicts are continuing in some places, famine and disease are still prevalent, estrangement and antagonism are still deepening, and people of all countries are calling for a better life.

Today, human society is once again faced with the historical dilemma of where to go. Is it hostility or mutual respect? Is it closed decoupling or open cooperation? Is it a zero sum game or a win-win situation? The choice is in our hands and the responsibility is on our shoulders.

Mankind is a whole, and the earth is a home. In the face of common challenges, no one and no country can be alone. Mankind can only work together and live in harmony. As an important force to promote human progress, political parties should anchor the correct direction and shoulder the historical responsibility of seeking happiness for the people and progress for mankind. In my opinion, political parties should strive to do the following.

First, we should shoulder the responsibility of leading the direction, grasp and shape the common future of mankind. The people long for prosperity and well-being, fairness and justice. A big era needs a big pattern, which calls for a big mind. From the perspective of "national priority", the world is small and crowded, and there is always "fierce competition". From the perspective of common destiny, the world is broad and there are opportunities for cooperation everywhere. We should listen to the voice of the people, conform to the trend of the times, promote the strengthening of coordination and cooperation among countries, unify the interests of our own people with those of the people of other countries, and move forward in the direction of building a community of shared future for mankind.

Second, we should shoulder the responsibility of building consensus and uphold and promote the common values of all mankind. The history, culture, system and development level of different countries are different, but the people of all countries pursue the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom. We should be highly responsible for the future and destiny of mankind, advocate the common values of all mankind, understand the understanding of different civilizations on the connotation of values with a broad mind, respect the exploration of people in different countries on the path of value realization, and embody the common values of all mankind concretely and practically in the practice of realizing the interests of our own people.

Third, we should shoulder the responsibility of promoting development and let the fruits of development benefit the people of all countries more and more equitably. Development is the key to people's happiness. In the pursuit of human happiness, a country and a nation can not be less. All countries and nationalities in the world should enjoy equal opportunities and rights for development. We should face the gap between the rich and the poor, the development gap and other major practical problems, pay attention to the less developed countries and regions, care for the poor people, and let every piece of land breed hope. The ancient Chinese said, "those who are suitable for themselves and forget about others will be abandoned by others; Those who are self-restraint should be worn by the public. " Development is the right of all countries in the world, not the patent of a few countries. We should promote all countries to strengthen development cooperation and people of all countries to share the fruits of development, enhance the fairness, effectiveness and synergy of global development, and jointly oppose anyone's technological blockade, technological gap and development decoupling. I believe that any political manipulation threatening to obstruct the development of other countries and damage the people's lives of other countries is unpopular and will be futile in the end!

Fourth, we should shoulder the responsibility of strengthening cooperation and work together to cope with global risks and challenges. Facing the novel coronavirus pneumonia still in progress, we must adhere to the scientific policy, advocate unity and cooperation, bridge the "immune gap", oppose the politicization of the epidemic situation, label the virus, and jointly promote the construction of a human health and health community. In the face of terrorism and other public enemies of mankind, we should work together for security and stability, and build a "fence" for security. In the face of fragile ecological environment, we should adhere to respect nature, conform to nature, protect nature and build a green home. Facing the severe challenges brought by climate change to the survival and development of human beings, we should have the courage to take responsibility, work together, and work together for the harmonious coexistence of human and nature.

Fifth, we should shoulder the responsibility of improving governance and constantly enhance our ability to seek happiness for the people. The road to happiness is not the same. People of all countries have the right to choose their own development path and system model, which is the proper meaning of people's happiness. Democracy is also the right of the people of all countries, not the patent of a few countries. There are many ways to realize democracy, and they can't be the same. A country's democracy is not democratic, it is the people of this country that judge, but not the minority has the final say. We should strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, improve the communication mechanism, grasp the social conditions and public opinions, improve the organizational system, improve the ability of governance, promote the construction of democratic politics suitable for our national conditions, and constantly improve the ability and effectiveness of seeking happiness for the people.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends!

Seeking happiness for the people is the original intention of the Communist Party of China. Today, China has achieved the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and has embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. The Chinese people's sense of gain, happiness and security has been continuously improved. It is the unswerving goal of the Communist Party of China to run China's affairs well, let more than 1.4 billion Chinese people live a better life, and promote the lofty cause of human peace and development. The Communist Party of China will adhere to the people-centered development thought, think about the profound proposition of national rejuvenation and human progress in the broad dimension of time and space, unite and lead the Chinese people to seek up and down, forge ahead, and create a better future.

History tells us that only by embracing the world can we embrace tomorrow; Only by working hand in hand can we achieve stability and prosperity. The Communist Party of China is willing to work together with political parties in other countries to make dreams come true and actions make the future come true. It will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order.

——The Communist Party of China will unite and lead the Chinese people to further promote Chinese style modernization and make new contributions to the exploration of the road of modernization. The Communist Party of China insists on proceeding from reality in everything and leads the Chinese people to explore the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. History and practice have proved and will further prove that this road is not only right and feasible, but also stable and good. We will unswervingly follow this bright road to develop ourselves and benefit the world. There is no fixed pattern in the road of modernization. What suits you is the best. You can't cut your feet to fit your shoes. Every country's efforts to independently explore the path of modernization in line with its national conditions should be respected. The Communist Party of China is willing to exchange and learn from each other's experience in modernization construction with political parties in other countries, and jointly enrich the path to modernization, so as to better seek happiness for its own people and people all over the world.

——The Communist Party of China will unite and lead the Chinese people to comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening up, and make new contributions to the common development and prosperity of all countries in the world. At present, although economic globalization faces many obstacles, there are still more driving forces. Generally speaking, the driving force is stronger than the resistance. The general trend of opening up and cooperation among all countries has not changed or will not change. The Communist Party of China is willing to strengthen communication with political parties in other countries and jointly guide economic globalization towards a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction. We are willing to one belt, one road cooperation with the international community to enhance the quality of the world and to increase the global interconnection and increase the share of development achievements for more countries and more people.

——The Communist Party of China will fulfill its responsibilities as a big power and make new contributions to the improvement of human well-being. Poverty eradication is the common aspiration of the people of all countries and an important goal of political parties in all countries. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty under China's current standards, and the poverty reduction goal of UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development has been achieved 10 years ahead of schedule. The Communist Party of China is willing to contribute more Chinese programs and strength to the process of poverty reduction. China will fully support international anti epidemic cooperation to enhance vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries. China will make arduous efforts to fulfill its commitment to the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutral, and make greater contributions to the global response to climate change. China will host the 15th Conference of the parties to the Convention on biological diversity, discuss new strategies for global biodiversity governance with all parties, and jointly start a new process of global biodiversity governance.

——The Communist Party of China will actively promote the improvement of global governance and make new contributions to human society to meet common challenges. The core idea of the current international system and order is multilateralism. If multilateralism is practiced better, the common problems facing mankind will be solved better. International rules should be recognized by all countries in the world, not by a few people. The purpose of cooperation among countries should be to serve all mankind, not to seek world hegemony through small group politics. We should jointly oppose all kinds of acts of unilateralism in the name of multilateralism, and jointly oppose hegemonism and power politics. China will firmly uphold the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, advocate consultation in international affairs, and promote the development of the international order and system in a more just and reasonable direction. I would like to reiterate once again that China will always be a member of the family of developing countries and will unswervingly strive to improve the representation and voice of developing countries in the international governance system. China will never seek hegemony, expansion or sphere of influence. The Communist Party of China will work with political parties of all countries to promote coordination and cooperation among countries through consultation and cooperation among political parties, so as to better play the due role of political parties in global governance.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends!

If the road is blocked and long, the road will come; The future can be expected if we continue to do so. The road ahead will be full of twists and turns, but also full of hope. The Communist Party of China is willing to continue to work with political parties and organizations in other countries to stand on the right side of history and on the side of human progress and make new and greater contributions to promoting the construction of a community of shared future for mankind and a better world!

Thank you.
