The significance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's thought on diplomacy

习近平总书记外交思想的指导意义

General Secretary Xi Jinping's thought on diplomacy embodies the Marxist position, viewpoints and approaches. It is a continuation and further development of the major policies and fine traditions of the diplomacy of New China in the past 60-plus years. It has also made innovations on and transcended the traditional Western theories of international relations for the past 300 years. The thought is an essential component of the governing vision and strategy of the CPC central leadership and the guide of action for China's diplomacy in the new era.
