The concept of diplomacy with Chinese characteristics will dominate China's foreign relations in 2015. The Chinese characteristics come from the Chinese development approach, culture and traditions, and outlook of values.
The Chinese approach is to unswervingly persist in peaceful development internally and adhere to independent and peaceful diplomatic principles externally. This year marks the 70th anniversary of victory in World War II and in China's war of resistance against Japanese aggression. A grand military review will be held to mark the victory, which is a glorious page in China's diplomatic history. Joint memorial activities will also be held between China and Russia, and China will invite other related countries to participate in the events, too.
All these demonstrate China's consistent efforts to maintain peace and justice and provide the world with safe outcomes. Especially in the current complicated international situation, these events will help demonstrate China's peaceful will and strength to maintain peace. China is willing to pledge peace with all countries that fought in the war.
In its culture and traditions, China carries on the principles of equality between countries, adherence to peaceful co-existence and the promotion of equal development throughout the world. As one of the founders of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence implemented at the Asian-African Conference 60 years ago, China is not only adhering to these principles but also deepening the principles' implications in the new era.
China not only stresses the need for development in developing countries, but also pays attention to shared responsibilities in human society, exerting efforts to balance the shared but differentiated duties of developed and developing countries in the international order.
The international community will pay great attention to the United Nations Climate Summit in 2015. As the second biggest economic entity in the world, China's stance on how to keep climate change from worsening will demonstrate its big-power diplomacy.
