As global security challenges increase and intensify, China has initiated a vision for common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, following a path of peaceful development while striving to promote peaceful coexistence and inclusive exchange of civilizations, said a Xinhua think tank report released on Tuesday.
Beijing – China has always been a practitioner of peaceful development, as highlighted in the report titled « Promoting the Development and Progress of Human Civilization through Exchange and Mutual Learning » released by Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency.
China is the only major country that has enshrined peaceful development in its Constitution — elevating it to a national commitment, according to the report.
It noted that as a permanent member of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, China has faithfully fulfilled its responsibilities and missions, being the second largest financial contributor to both the UN and UN peacekeeping operations, while also providing more peacekeepers than any of the other permanent members of the Security Council.
China, in addition, firmly supports the core role of the UN in international affairs, while actively promoting security cooperation within frameworks such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and developing international security dialogue platforms — including the Beijing Xiangshan Forum, the report stated.
The report also highlighted China’s role in leading the reform of global security governance, noting that the country has offered Chinese wisdom to further improve global security governance by proposing the Global Security Initiative.
Concerning non-traditional security, China leads international security governance in emerging fields. Through efforts such as enacting the world’s first legislation on generative AI, China has shared its extensive experience in AI governance with the world, making significant contributions to global AI governance, the report explained. ■
