Innovations in China's Diplomatic Theory and Practice Under New Conditions (Part 2)

The New Diplomatic Initiatives: Strategic, Overarching and Innovative in Nature

Recently, State Councilor Yang Jiechi has written on innovations in diplomatic theory and practice by the new collective central leadership. According to the article, since the 18th Party Congress, Comrade Xi Jinping has made important remarks on China's opening-up strategy and foreign policy, sending out a clear message that China's new collective central leadership is committed to reform and opening-up, the path of peaceful development and the strategy of win-win cooperation with the outside world while resolutely upholding China's core national interests.

Since the end of the annual NPC and CPPCC sessions this year, Comrade Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders have paid visits to major countries, neighboring countries, emerging market economies and developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and North America, and hosted visits by dozens of foreign leaders. They have actively promoted relations with the major countries, energetically worked to stabilize and advance the friendly and good-neighborly relations in the surrounding areas, vigorously worked to strengthen friendship and cooperation with developing countries, and deeply engaged in and shaped processes of multilateral diplomacy, thus effectively enhancing China's friendly exchanges and pragmatic cooperation with other countries.
