China has envisioned to build a shared future for mankind in line with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence under the new circumstances.
Unveiling the 19-point Beijing Declaration following the Conference organized to mark the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in Beijing on June 28, China put forward a proposal to build a community with a shared future for mankind under the new circumstances.
“Building a community with a shared future for mankind is a natural step for carrying forward the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence under the new circumstances, and enriches the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence with the imperatives of the new era,” reads the Beijing Declaration issued by the China government.
The major goal of the five principles is to build a world of lasting peace, universal security and shared prosperity, said the Declaration calling for all countries to work together on Earth, the planet we call home.
These principles featuring sovereignty, equality and mutual respect have been designed to protect the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, and redress the systems of imperialism, colonialism and hegemonism and are believed to have reshaped our contemporary international relations.
Seventy years ago, Chinese leaders put forth in full the Five Principles, i.e. mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.
President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China attended the conference and delivered an important address. Attended by representatives and politicians from more than 100 countries, the conference was moderated by Premier Li Qiang of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China.
The attendees in the conference included former political leaders from countries including Viet Nam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, the Maldives, Brazil, Japan, Republic of Korea, Italy, France among others.
Lauding the enormous achievements in modernization and China’s relentless efforts for safeguarding world peace, promoting friendly cooperation with other countries, and advancing common development of the world, the participants in the Confernece expressed readiness to collaborate with China to build a community with a shared future for mankind in line with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
