The Eurasian continent is turbulent; China's diplomacy has embarked on a new journey.

Five days and six nights, three countries and four places, thousands of miles away, three state visits, dozens of bilateral and multilateral activities, President Xi Jinping's trip to Europe set off a "whirlwind of charm", leaving behind classic moments and writing diplomatic stories.

From the banks of the Seine in spring to the snow-capped Pyrenees, from the fiery Balkans to sunny Budapest, there is always a sense of warmth and camaraderie along the way.

The meticulous arrangements and heart-warming details reflect the warmth and depth of the friendship between China and the countries it visits, allowing the world to witness the charm and responsibility of China's head-of-state diplomacy.

Fellowship with heart, treating others equally, valuing affection and righteousness, and being sincere and friendly are the personality charms of China's head-of-state diplomacy and the distinctive character of China's diplomacy.

In recent years, President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron have continuously enhanced mutual understanding, deepened Sino-French friendship, and continued to write the good story of "mountains and rivers meet bosom friends" in a series of unique interactions.

"It is a great pleasure to receive you at the Tourmalai Pass in the Hautes-Pyrenees, which means a lot to me" "Thank you for your friendly and frank exchanges, which are essential for the balance of our two countries and the world...... President Macron posted several Chinese posts on his social media accounts thanking President Xi Jinping for his productive visit to France.

"All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community" – this is the way of state-to-state exchanges that President Xi Jinping has consistently advocated.

"President Xi Jinping, what I want to tell you is that you are respected by people all over the world, and the Serbian people love you from the bottom of their hearts." Serbian President Vučić said at the welcoming ceremony. In the welcoming crowd of tens of thousands of people, the five-star red flag and the Serbian flag were erected closely together, which was a vivid testimony to the iron-clad friendship between China and Serbia.

"China is Serbia's most sincere friend," President Vučić said during his talks with President Xi Jinping, "Serbia is a small country, but China has always fully respected Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and provided valuable support for Serbia's economic and social development." President Xi Jinping was moved by the Serbian side's meticulous arrangements and grand welcome, "deeply feeling that the Serbian people are good friends of the Chinese people and have sincere friendly feelings towards China."

On the evening of May 8, President Xi Jinping's special plane arrived in Budapest and was warmly greeted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his wife, Foreign Minister Szijjártó and other senior government officials. Prime Minister Viktor Orban said to President Xi Jinping and his wife, "We feel very honored that you are welcome to come to our home". The phrase "come home" makes people understand the unusualness of Sino-Hungarian relations. Those who fellowship with their hearts become long-lasting. The friendship that has gone through the baptism of time and the test of international changes is even more precious.

"The Chinese people not only hope that they will live well, but also that the people of all countries will live well." This is President Xi Jinping's unswerving belief and goal.

It is the sentimental charm of China's head-of-state diplomacy and the warm background of China's diplomacy to unswervingly develop itself and at the same time open its mind to benefit the world, always think of the well-being of the people, advocate win-win cooperation and promote common development. This sincere people's feelings have made President Xi Jinping deeply respected and loved by people all over the world.

He said that China is willing to continue to actively use the "from French farms to Chinese tables" rapid coordination mechanism of the whole chain, so that more high-quality French agricultural products such as cheese, ham and wine can appear on the tables of Chinese people. "The friendship between China and France is not only a blessing for the Chinese and French people, but also a blessing for the people of the world." Sincere words, real actions, won lasting and warm applause.

Approaching China and embracing the future. In Serbia, where the Danube and Sava rivers meet, people are happy with the abundant opportunities in China and understand the friendship of true friends. From the airport to the street, "Thank you, President Xi!" The huge slogan is an expression of the sincere emotions of the Serbian people.

During the visit, the two heads of state announced that they would deepen and enhance the China-Cyprus comprehensive strategic partnership and build a China-Cyprus community with a shared future in the new era.

President Xi Jinping said, "The two sides should continue to deepen and expand high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and China-CEEC cooperation by building a China-CEEC community with a shared future in the new era, so as to help the two countries in their respective modernization processes." ”

"Under the strong leadership of President Xi Jinping, China has made remarkable achievements, become a beacon of world development and progress, and increasingly play an important leading role in international affairs." Speaking of China's responsibility as a major country and its international influence, President Vučić praised it from the bottom of his heart.
