others. No country should open Pandora’s box by willfully waging
war or undermining the international rule of law. Nuclear weapons
are the Sword of Damocles that hangs over mankind. They should be
completely prohibited and, ultimately, completely destroyed to realize
a world free of nuclear weapons. Guided by the principles of peace,
sovereignty, inclusiveness, and shared governance, we should make the
deep sea, the polar regions, outer space, and the Internet new frontiers
for cooperation rather than arenas of competition.
We should all build and share together a world of common security.
There exists in this world no haven of complete freedom from danger. A
country cannot build its security on the turmoil of others, as the threats
that beset other countries have every possibility of one day coming to
haunt itself also. When neighbors are in trouble, instead of tightening
our own fences, we should extend a helping hand. As the saying goes,
“United we stand, divided we fall.” All countries should pursue a

security.
Terrorist attacks that have shaken Europe, North Africa, and the
Middle East in recent years have shown time and again that terrorism

responsibility of all countries. In fighting terror, we should not be
content to just treat the symptoms, but must get to its root causes. We
should enhance coordination and build a global united front against
terrorism so as to create an umbrella of security for people around
the world. The number of refugees has hit a record high since the end
of the Second World War. Addressing this crisis is imperative, but we
should also take time to ponder its roots. Why would anyone choose to
be displaced if they have a home to return to? The UNHCR and the
International Organization for Migration should act as the coordinators
of an effort to mobilize the whole world in an effective response to
the refugee crisis. China has decided to provide an additional RMB 200
million of humanitarian assistance for refugees and displaced people
in Syria. Terrorism and refugee crises alike are both closely tied to
geopolitical conflict, thus the fundamental solution to these problems
lies in the resolution of conflicts. Parties directly involved in conflict
should return to the negotiating table, other parties should work to
