China's resolve to stay on the path of peaceful development, develop friendship and cooperation with all countries, and promote common development across the world will not change, Chinese President Xi Jinping said while delivering a speech at the Conference Marking the 70th Anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence on Friday in Beijing.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. Seven decades ago, then Chinese Premier  Zhou Enlai put forth those five principles in their entirety for the first time - "mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence." 

Analysts have noted that the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which have been embraced by countries worldwide for the past seven decades, hold particular importance in today's world. These principles also serve as a foundation for fostering cooperation among nations in addressing global challenges. The Friday events and China's efforts to enhance collaboration especially among countries in the Global South are expected to bring renewed momentum to global stability.
