Major country diplomacy bearing fruits

Delivering a keynote speech at a high-level workshop on July 26, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized the need to advance diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, while offering a glimpse into the key themes of the 19th CPC National Congress later this year.

And on Monday, China Central Television began the telecast of Major-Country Diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, a six-episode documentary summarizing the achievements of China's diplomacy over the past five years.

At the core of Chinese diplomacy is global peace and a stable neighborhood, which is necessary for the country's sustainable development and, of course, is a pursuit shared by all peace-loving nations. What really makes it stand out is its Chinese characteristics, from its socialist approach to its cultural inclusiveness.
