——和平发展是顺应世界潮流的选择
和平与发展是当今时代的两大主题，和平、发展、合作是不可阻挡的世界潮流。当前，世界多极化、经济全球化深入发展，国际体系变革的要求突出，国际社会正面临越来越多新的历史课题。共同用好发展机遇，共同应对各种风险，成为各国人民的愿望。
经济全球化成为影响国际关系的重要趋势。不同制度、不同类型、不同发展阶段的国家相互依存、利益交融，形成“你中有我、我中有你”的命运共同体。人类再也承受不起世界大战，大国全面冲突对抗只会造成两败俱伤。
― Peaceful development is a choice that represents the global trend.
Peace and development are the two major issues of today’s world. Peace, development and cooperation are part of the irresistible global trend. The world today is moving towards multipolarity and economic globalization is gaining momentum. There is a growing call for change in the international system and the world is facing more historical challenges. To share opportunities presented by development and jointly ward off risks is the common desire of the people of the world.
Economic globalization has become an important trend in the evolution of international relations. Countries of different systems and different types and at various development stages are in a state of mutual dependence, with their interests intertwined. This has turned the world into a community of common destiny in which the members are closely interconnected. Another world war would be disastrous for the whole of mankind, and no one would emerge victorious in an all-out conflict between big powers.
全球性挑战成为世界主要威胁。人类共同安全问题日益突出，恐怖主义、大规模杀伤性武器扩散、金融危机、严重自然灾害、气候变化、能源资源安全、粮食安全、公共卫生安全等攸关人类生存和经济社会可持续发展的全球性问题日益增多。任何国家都不可能单独解决这些问题，国际社会必须携手应对。如果不能通过全面持续的国际合作抑制各种负面因素，世界和平与发展将面临重大障碍，甚至可能遭受更大灾难。
世界多极化发展进程难以阻挡。新兴市场国家、区域集团和亚洲等地区力量不断发展壮大，各类非国家行为体迅速成长，借助经济全球化和社会信息化拓展影响，成为各国和国际舞台上的重要力量。
Global challenges have become major threats to the world. Common security issues are becoming ever more severe. They include terrorism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, financial crises, natural disasters, climate change, and security of energy, resources, food and public health, and the list is growing. These and other global problems have a major impact on human survival and sustainable economic and social development. No country can handle these issues on its own, which should be addressed by all countries together. If these problems are not addressed through comprehensive and sustained international cooperation, world peace and development will run into huge obstacles and could even suffer disastrous setback.
The global trend towards multipolarity is irresistible. The emerg-ing economies, regional groups and Asian and other regions are be-coming stronger, and various non-state actors are growing fast, which, taking advantage of economic globalization and the information age, expand their influence and have become an important force in various countries and in the international arena.
