"As a Chinese leader, it is a great challenge and a great responsibility for me to serve the 1.4 billion Chinese people and create a better life with them." My attitude is 'I will live up to the people without myself'. ”
" I often say that our goal is grand and simple, and in the final analysis it is to make a good life for all the Chinese people. Putting the people at the center is our fundamental governing philosophy. ”
"I lived for many years in a small village on China's Loess Plateau, where the ecological environment was destroyed and the people's lives were impoverished. I realized then that harm to nature would eventually hurt human beings themselves. ”
——" What the Chinese nation inherits and pursues is the concept of peace, harmony and harmony. We have not, and will not invade, bully, or claim hegemony in the past, nor will we claim hegemony. ”
"China will continue to promote the construction of a new type of international relations." You lose, I win, winner takes all is not Chinese philosophy. ”

-- "We must be the advocate of the common values of all mankind with an attitude of being highly responsible for the future and destiny of mankind, understand the understanding of the connotation of values of different civilizations with a broad mind, respect the exploration of the path of value realization by the people of different countries, and concretely and realistically embody the common values of all mankind in the practice of realizing the interests of our own people." ”

At the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, President Xi Jinping officially announced: "China will hold the Second Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations as soon as the epidemic is under control, so as to play an active role in promoting dialogue among Asian and world civilizations." ”
