Writing a New Chapter of International Human Rights Exchanges and Cooperation
谱写国际人权交流合作新篇章

一
Facing profound transformation in the international environment, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has made insightful observations of the trends of the times and drawn up and implemented comprehensive, strategic and forward-looking plans, and as a result, great progress and development have been achieved in China’s diplomacy. As an important part of China’s diplomatic endeavors, international exchanges and cooperation on human rights have also registered remarkable achievements, opening up a new vista for human rights diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
当前,国际风云激荡,以习近平同志为核心的党中央洞察大势,运筹帷幢,作出系列全局性、战略性、前瞻性部署,实现外交大发展、大跨越、大提升。作为总体外交重要组成部分,中国人权国际交流合作成绩斐然,开创了中国特色社会主义人权外交新局面。
First, we have made new breakthroughs in international human rights governance. Over the past five years, China has taken an active part in international human rights governance and worked for the establishment of a fair, just, reasonable and effective international human rights system. China has hosted a series of human rights related events, including the Beijing Forum on Human Rights, the International Seminar on the 30th Anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development, the South-South Human Rights Forum and the 16th Informal ASEM Seminar on Human Rights. In his congratulatory letter to the opening of the Beijing Forum on Human Rights, President Xi Jinping noted that “there is always room for improvement when it comes to human rights protection”, “China has embarked on a path for human rights development suited to its reality through combining the universality of human rights with China’s specific conditions”, and “China will unswervingly stay on the path of peaceful development and steadfastly advance human rights development both in China and in the wider world”. These remarks chart the course for China’s human rights development and provide guidance for China to fully participate in international human rights governance.
第一,参与国际人权治理有新突破。过去5年,中国积极参与国际人权治理,推动建立公平正义、合理有效的国际人权体系。中国连续打造人权主场外交,成功举办“北京人权论坛”、纪念《发展权利宣言》通过30周年国际研讨会、“南南人权论坛”、第16次亚欧非正式人权研讨会等。习近平总书记向“北京人权论坛”等致贺信,指出“人权保障没有最好,只有更好。”“中国坚持把人权的普遍性原则同本国实际相结合,走出了一条适合中国国情的人权发展道路。”“中国将坚定不移走和平发展道路、坚定不移推进中国人权事业和世界人权事业”,为中国人权事业发展指明方向,为中国全面参与国际人权治理提供基本遵循。
