No country can have security while others are in turmoil and no one can be immune from global challenges. When one country pursues development and security at home, it must work for the common development of all and give consideration to the security of others. Only by doing so can we find a path towards common security that is built and shared by all.

一国的安全不能建立在别国的动荡之上，全球性挑战面前谁都无法独善其身。要在寻求自身发展时促进共同发展，在追求本国安全时兼顾他国安全，走出一条共建、共享、共赢的安全之路。

Diversity is a defining feature of human civilizations and an inherent force driving social progress. Isolation leads to estrangement, while communication inspires dynamism. We need to enhance mutual trust through communication and mutual learning, and achieve harmony by seeking common ground and putting aside differences. This way, we can build a solid foundation for peace, integration and common progress of all countries.

多样性是人类文明的基本特征，也是社会进步的内在动力。封闭加剧隔阂，沟通激发活力。要在交流互鉴、取长补短中增进互信，在求同存异、聚同化异中和睦相处，夯实各国和平共处、融合并进的深厚根基。
