As we know, the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity, which was put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping, has attracted worldwide attention and aroused strong resonance. I would like to know that what efforts the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee has made in terms of international communication? What are the plans for the future? Thank you.
Qu Qingshan:
You've raised an important question. Mr. Yang will have the floor.
Yang Mingwei:
Thank you for your attention to our international communication efforts concerning General Secretary Xi Jinping's works. In recent years, the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to the international communication of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, highly valuing the translation and publication of works of General Secretary Xi Jinping. Efforts made in this regard can bring international society closer to the rich implications of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and help them understand, in an objective manner, the governance philosophy, practices, and achievements of the CPC. It can also help to promote communication between China and the rest of the world on governance experiences as well as exchange and mutual learning among societies. I will take General Secretary Xi Jinping's book On Building a Human Community with a Shared Future as an example and give you a brief introduction accordingly. The book is edited and published by the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee.
Since being published in China in 2018, we have translated and published it in English, French, Japanese, and Russian. Its multi-lingual publication and distribution are very significant for foreign readers to have an in-depth understanding of the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, the rich implications of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, as well as China's diplomatic policies. We also held a book launch ceremony for its French version and a press conference on the English version, which has already been covered by Mr. Qu. In Africa, we chaired and held a high-level forum on the China-Africa community with a shared future and symposiums on the French and English versions of General Secretary Xi Jinping's book On Building a Human Community with a Shared Future, introducing this important piece of work in various ways.
In addition, the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee has translated and published a book of General Secretary Xi Jinping's discourses on coordinating epidemic control with economic and social development in English. The book aims to offer foreign readers an in-depth understanding of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions, including putting people's lives and health first and building a global community of health for all. It also covers China's practices in successfully coping with the COVID-19 epidemic. The Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee also translated and published an offprint on General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech in English at a grand gathering that marked the country's accomplishments in poverty alleviation and honored its model poverty fighters. The offprint offers foreign readers an insight into the CPC's efforts to unite and lead the Chinese people and make great contributions to the undertaking of global poverty alleviation, China's poverty-alleviation path, and theories with Chinese characteristics, as well as the Party's aspiration and mission.
These important works from General Secretary Xi Jinping have attracted much attention and won widespread acclaim from the international community. Just now, Mr. Qu also briefed this topic. For example, foreign dignitaries and scholars have applauded and highly acknowledged General Secretary Xi Jinping's book On Building a Human Community with a Shared Future and his concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity. They noted that, as the world's major economic and political power, China has put forward and also carried out the building of a community with a shared future for humanity and the Belt and Road Initiative, and these refreshing concepts and initiatives are of great significance to the future development of the world. The concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity, which was put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping, is visionary and profound, and has attracted worldwide attention and aroused strong resonance among various countries, especially those in Africa. The rich implications of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy do not only offers Chinese solutions to global issues facing humanity, but also enrich and innovate theories of international relations and concepts of mankind's development. Thank you.
