ON BUILDING A HUMAN COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED FUTURE

assigned to the dustbin of history.
To follow the trend of our times and advance the wellbeing of
all people, I proposed the idea of building a human community with
a shared future, and I have since had many in-depth discussions with
various parties on this. I am glad to see that this proposal is being
welcomed and endorsed by a growing number of countries and their
people. It has also been incorporated in important UN documents. I
hope that the people of all of our countries will work together to build
this community and to make both Asia and the world peaceful, tranquil,
prosperous, open, and beautiful places.
Going forward, we should treat each other with respect and as
equals. We should uphold the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence,
respect the social system and development path chosen by each country
of its own accord, respect each other’s core interests and major concerns,
and follow a new approach to developing state-to-state relations with
dialogue, not confrontation, and with partnership, not alliance. We must
not engage in the dominance-seeking or “you lose, I win” approaches
of zero-sum games, and must reject the beggar-thy-neighbor practices
and bully-the-weak tactics of power politics and hegemony. Instead, we
must manage our differences appropriately and work together to achieve
enduring peace.
Going forward, we should promote dialogue and shared
responsibility. We should act on a vision of common, comprehensive,
cooperative, and sustainable security, and firmly uphold the international
order and system underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN
Charter. An integrated approach should be taken to counter traditional
and non-traditional security challenges, and coordination should be
enhanced both bilaterally and multilaterally. We must ensure that different
security mechanisms are coordinated in an inclusive and complementary
manner rather than undercutting each other. This way we can ensure
universal and common security.
Going forward, we need to collectively tackle challenges and
cooperate to achieve win-win outcomes. We should stay committed to
achieving openness, connectivity, and mutual benefits, build an open
global economy, and enhance cooperation within the G20, APEC and
other multilateral frameworks. We should promote trade and investment
