八是开拓创新，完善中国外交理论体系。

Eighth, we have made pioneering efforts to improve the system of China's diplomatic theories.

党中央高度重视、积极推进外交理论创新。G20杭州峰会上，习近平主席系统阐述以平等为基础、以开放为导向、以合作为动力、以共享为目标的全球经济治理观，倡导构建金融、贸易投资、能源、发展等四大治理格局，为推进全球经济治理体系改革描绘了"中国路线图"。

The CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to and actively advances the innovation of the system of China's diplomatic theories. At the G20 Hangzhou Summit, President Xi systematically outlined the concept of global economic governance with equality as the basis, opening-up as the direction, cooperation as the driving force and shared benefits as the goal. He called for improving global governance in the four major areas of finance, trade and investment, energy and development and drew "China's roadmap" for advancing the reform of the global economic governance system.

十八大以来，习近平主席承前启后，继往开来，从中国优秀传统文化中汲取营养，在波澜壮阔的历史进程中把握潮流，提出公平、开放、全面、创新的发展观，共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观，以深化亚非合作、拓展南南合作、推进南北合作为核心的合作观，共商、共建、共享的全球治理观，合作共赢的国际秩序观，义利相兼、以义为先的正确义利观。这些都充实完善了中国特色大国外交理论体系，为快速发展的中国外交及时提供了有力指导。

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has carried forward the past achievements and steered the trend of the times in the course of China's development. Drawing on the fine traditional culture of China, he has put forward the vision of fair, open, comprehensive and innovation-driven development, the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, the outlook of cooperation with deepening Asia-Africa cooperation, expanding South-South cooperation and advancing South-North cooperation at the core, the concept of global governance based on wide consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the idea of an international order featuring win-win cooperation and a right approach to upholding justice and pursuing one's own interests with emphasis on the former. All these have enriched and improved the system of theories of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics and provided timely, strong guidance for the fast development of China's diplomacy.

一年来的外交成就充分表明，党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央制定的外交方针政策完全正确。党中央重谋划、善运筹，开拓进取，主动有为，打造了一系列亮点，打赢了一场场硬仗。国际体系中的中国影响快速提升，国际事务中的中国作用更加突出。

Our diplomatic achievements over the past year show that the diplomatic guidelines and policies set by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core since the 18th CPC National Congress are fully correct. The CPC Central Committee has made pioneering and proactive efforts with emphasis on overall planning and achieved a series of impressive outcomes in China's diplomacy. China's influence in the international system has risen fast and China's role has been more prominent in international affairs.
