1In June, 954, Premier Zhou Enlai visited India and Myanmar, and formally put forward and advocated the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence for the first time.
Over the past 50 years, the Five Principles of Peace, as an important basic norm of international relations, have played an important role in regulating the relations between countries, solving the problems between countries and realizing the transformation.
It has played an irreplaceable role in resolving international and regional conflicts, exerted a far-reaching influence on the peace process in Asia and the world, and made creative contributions to the theory and practice of contemporary international relations.
More than half a century's history has proved that the so-called "groups" and "alliances" and other bilateral or multilateral relations that were once prominent were short-lived. Only the Five Principles of Peace, which transcends social system and ideology and takes opposing hegemonism and power politics as its own responsibility, have withstood severe historical tests and gradually been widely accepted by the international community, becoming the basic norms and concepts for developing state relations and achieving peace and development.
Today, when mankind has entered the 2 1 century, the value, significance and role of the Five Principles of Peace are as great as those of that year. It will not only continue to be the driving force for world peace and development, but also play an important role in establishing a new international political and economic order that is just, reasonable, equal and mutually beneficial. Undoubtedly, the new international relations in the 20th century should be based on the Five Principles of Peace. This is because the Five Principles of Peace summarize the most basic norms of international relations and are a complete set of national codes of conduct, which are more reasonable and comprehensive than other international and regional legal principles. The Five Principles of Peace reflect the essential characteristics of new international relations, embody the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, and embody the democratic connotation of modern international relations. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence can serve countries with different systems, countries with different levels of development and neighboring countries, conform to the interests of people of all countries, reflect the aspirations of people of all countries and the requirements of the times, and are conducive to the development of world peace.
2 1 century, profound and complicated changes are taking place in international relations, and the international situation will be more complicated and changeable. Under the new historical conditions, while establishing a firm belief in building international relations in the new century with the Five Principles of Peace, we should also conform to the historical trend, effectively respond to the new challenges brought by new situations and new problems, and constantly enrich and develop the theoretical basis and ideological connotation of the Five Principles of Peace.
To continuously enrich and develop the Five Principles of Peace, it is necessary to dig deep into its radiant concept of "equality" and make it a strong pillar to realize the democratization and legalization of international relations; We should deeply understand its spiritual essence and build a new security concept of "increasing trust through dialogue and promoting security through cooperation"; We should fully understand the essence of his thought, respect the diversity and integrity of the world, advocate multilateralism and multilateral cooperation, and advocate mutual respect, * * * survival and * * * common development.
China is an active advocate and executor of the Five Principles of Peace. For half a century, China has pursued a foreign policy of peace based on the Five Principles of Peace, developed friendly and cooperative relations with all countries in the world, and won the trust and respect of the international community. China and most countries in the world believe that the spirit of the Five Principles of Peace will shine brilliantly in the process of safeguarding world peace, promoting human progress and opening up international relations in the new era.
