On October 24, 2023, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi attended the opening ceremony of the International Symposium to Commemorate the 10th Anniversary of China's Principle of Amity, Sincerity, Mutual Benefit and Inclusiveness in Neighborhood Diplomacy in Beijing.

Wang Yi said that ten years ago, amid the profound and complex changes in Asia and in response to the expectations of relevant countries, and informed by his keen grasp of the global trend and the evolution of regional development, President Xi Jinping put forward the principle of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness to guide China's neighborhood diplomacy. It is an extension to China's guidelines of developing friendship and partnership with its neighbors and of fostering an amicable, secure and prosperous neighborhood, and represents the trend of the times. Over the past decade, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, China has actively turned this important principle into real actions. China has always given top priority to its neighboring countries in diplomatic work, and has joined hands with regional countries in keeping to the right path to foster good-neighborliness and share development and prosperity. China is glad to see that this principle has been translated from a concept into actions, and from a vision into reality, taking on new dimensions and delivering continued results. It has injected a strong impetus into friendship, cooperation, unity and rejuvenation in Asia, and inspired the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. China has worked with neighboring countries to preserve the hard-won peace and tranquility in this region amid turbulence in the global landscape, and to develop Asia into the most vibrant force of growth despite many crises and challenges. Going forward, China will work with all sides to take greater care of good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation, carry forward the principle of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, further enrich and expand this principle, and let it light the way forward for all Asian countries.
