This year marks both the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, which is an important moment to remember history and jointly create the future. 80 years ago, upon deep reflection on the bitter lessons of the two world wars, the international community decided to establish the United Nations, commencing a brand new practice in global governance. The international order forged in the flames of war embodied humanity’s shared aspiration for a better future and played a vital role in advancing peace and development in the post-war era. Today, however, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. Regional turbulence persists, economic growth faces headwinds, anti-globalization is on the rise, and rules and the rule of law are often disregarded. Global governance has reached a critical juncture—sail against the current, or be driven backward.
In response to these historic challenges, China has successively put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. Together, these four initiatives form the framework of the “Chinese solutions” from the dimensions of development, security, civilization, and governance, offering a stable anchor and cooperative pathways for a turbulent world, and fully demonstrating China’s sense of responsibility in international affairs.
China has all along acted as a staunch defender of world peace and security. China is the second largest contributor to U.N. peacekeeping budget and the largest provider of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the Security Council. China has been working actively to promote peace talks on hotspot issues such as the Ukraine crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This year, China established the International Organization for Mediation together with over 30 countries, making concrete contributions to safeguard world peace and stability.
This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. The victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression restored Taiwan to China’s territory. Both the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, issued by major victorious nations of World War II, have confirmed China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, and formed an important part of the post-war international order. In 1971, Resolution 2758 was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly with an overwhelming majority. It decided to restore all the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China at the U.N. and expel forthwith the representatives of the Taiwan authorities from the U.N. and all the organizations related to it. The adoption of Resolution 2758 had a wide-reaching and profound political impact on the practice of international relations. It effectively made the one-China principle a basic norm of international relations and a prevailing consensus in the international community. To date, 183 countries have established and developed diplomatic relations with China on the basis of this principle.
China has long acted as an active contributor to reform the global governance system. President Xi Jinping proposes the Global Governance Initiative, which focused on a subject of our times, namely what kind of global governance system to build and how to reform and improve global governance. Its five core concepts—sovereign equality, rule of law, multilateralism, people-centered approach, and real results—are in line with the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter. The Global Governance Initiative aims to firmly support the UN’s central role in international affairs, and encourage all countries to participate in the reform and development of the global governance system within multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations. The initiative does not mean to overturn the existing international order or to create another framework outside the current international system, but rather to innovate and improve it, enhancing the effectiveness of existing institutions so they better reflect changes in the global landscape, respond more effectively to common challenges, and safeguard the shared interests of all countries.
China has long acted as a committed actor in global green development. Over the years, the Chinese economy has maintained steady development, contributing around 30 percent to global economic growth. China has consistently opened its door wider to the world. It has lowered its overall tariff level to 7.3 percent and remained the world's second largest importer for 16 consecutive years. As an active player in international cooperation on sci-tech innovation, China has encouraged the sharing of cutting-edge technologies, such as 5G and AI, and engaged in joint efforts to foster new drivers of economic growth. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a pivotal year for countries to submit their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). President Xi Jinping announced China’s new NDCs as follows: China will, by 2035, reduce economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from peak levels, striving to do better; increase the share of non-fossil fuels in total energy consumption to over 30%; expand the installed capacity of wind and solar power to over six times the 2020 levels, striving to bring the total to 3,600 gigawatts; scale up the total forest stock volume to over 24 billion cubic meters; make new energy vehicles the mainstream in the sales of new vehicles; expand the National Carbon Emissions Trading Market to cover major high-emission sectors; and basically establish a climate adaptive society. These commitments will inject confidence, consensus, and momentum into global climate governance.
China has long acted as a faithful practitioner of mutual learning among civilizations. Every civilization has its unique value and heritage, and deserves acknowledgment and respect. Obsession with so-called "civilizational superiority" or ideology-based circles only breeds more division and confrontation. Adopting an inclusive attitude and engaging in exchange and mutual learning is a sure way to build more consensus and collective strength. Over the next five years, China will carry out 50 development cooperation programs in the field of culture and civilization for fellow developing countries and host 200 thematic training and seminar programs, contributing its part to inter-civilizational dialogue and the progress of civilizations.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Over the past years, our two countries have been good partners on the road to development and good friends supporting each other. Despite the geographical distance, differences in size, development stage, and social systems, both sides share the same aspiration for national revitalization, the same vision of prosperity, and the same desire for closer people-to-people exchanges. Looking ahead, the potential for cooperation is immense—whether in “hard connectivity” through infrastructure, “soft connectivity” through artificial intelligence, or “heart-to-heart connectivity” through cultural and people-to-people ties. We warmly welcome Bosnia and Herzegovina to board the express train of China’s development, to bridge development gaps, unleash technological potential, and achieve economic progress. On this important 30-year milestone, we sincerely look forward to the next 30 years bringing an even brighter chapter for China–Bosnia and Herzegovina relations.
