New China's diplomacy has gone through a glorious journey in the past 60 years. It has played an important role in upholding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, increasing mutual understanding and friendly cooperation between the Chinese people and people of other countries and promoting world peace and development. Remarkable achievements have been made in China's diplomatic work. China's international standing has significantly improved, its international influence growing, and its friendly and cooperative ties with other countries advancing in all respects.
The international situation is undergoing complex and profound changes. There has been a historic change in China's relations with the rest of the world, and China's future and destiny have never been so closely linked with those of the world. China's diplomacy faces new opportunities and challenges and the task we shoulder is more than ever daunting. We will keep pace with the changing times, embrace an enterprising spirit and follow the Scientific Outlook on Development in conducting diplomacy. We will adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace, stay committed to the path of peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening-up, develop foreign relations in an all-round way, and make new contribution to the effort of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and a harmonious world of durable peace and common prosperity.
China's diplomacy serves the interests of the people, and its success depends on the participation and support of the people. People are forever the strong backing of China's diplomacy. We will follow the principles of "governing for the people" and "conducting diplomacy for the people", and will draw on the strength and wisdom of the people to better serve the fundamental interests of our country and our people.
The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opens a window of information and knowledge on China's diplomacy. It also serves as a bridge of interaction with the general public. The upgraded MFA website features more detailed information, better designed format and easier access. Through it, we will provide people, both at home and abroad, with more comprehensive, accurate and timely information and services.
I thank you for your interest in and support for China's diplomacy. I hope you will visit our website often, and your advice and suggestion on our work will be most valuable.
Yang Jiechi
Minister of Foreign Affairs
