Welcome to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China! On behalf of all my colleagues in the Ministry, I wish to extend to you warm regards and best wishes!

Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China’s diplomacy has focused on the main tasks of serving national rejuvenation and promoting human progress, and held high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit. We have stayed committed to independence, maintained a global vision, pursued the path of peaceful development, provided China’s insight, initiatives and strength to addressing the common challenges of humanity, and continually made new contributions to the noble cause of world peace and development.

At present, the Chinese people of all ethnic groups are marching in strides on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all respects and meeting the Second Centenary Goal. We will rally closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy. We will stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, build on past achievements, and forge ahead with greater resolve. We will keep to our foreign policy goals of upholding world peace and promoting common development, make dedicated efforts to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and foster a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, equity, justice and win-win cooperation. We will take an active part in the reform and development of the global governance system, firmly defend China’s sovereignty, security and development interests, and make every effort to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and legal persons overseas.

As a Chinese verse goes, “Good friends feel close to each other even when they are separated by vast distance.” Wherever you are, you are welcome to visit us at this website. We hope we can count on your continued support for China’s diplomacy, and look forward to your valuable suggestions about our work.
