China consistently adheres to the development logic of "China can only do well when the world is doing well. When China does well, the world will get even better," framing its progress within the context of human development and providing more opportunities for global progress. Today China is steadily advancing Chinese-style modernization through high-quality development. This not only fulfills the aspirations of 1.4 billion people for a better life but also contributes to global peace and development. As former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome said, Chinese-style modernization is not just internal development for China; it offers new opportunities for global development. China looks forward to working with other countries to create a favorable environment for development, address various difficulties and challenges, and promote a model of global modernization characterized by peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity.
This year’s conference prioritized showcasing the global significance of China’s further and comprehensive deepening of reforms and its advancement of Chinese-style modernization, demonstrating to the world that Chinese-style modernization has opened up new paths for promoting global modernization. The agenda also aimed to: demonstrate the characteristics and achievements of Chinese-style modernization; address international concerns about China’s further and comprehensive deepening of reforms and its commitment to expanding high-level opening up; and foster discussion on topics such as the unified multi-ethnic Chinese nation and common development of the Chinese nation, cultural preservation and innovation in historically and culturally significant cities, and the innovative development of women’s leadership. Ultimately, the conference sought to promote fine traditional Chinese culture and facilitate cultural exchange and mutual learning.
