共建人类命运共同体，共迎美好世界新未来
赵志远
中华人民共和国驻埃塞俄比亚联邦民主共和国大使
10年前，习近平主席提出构建人类命运共同体理念，目的就是回答“人类向何处去”的世界之问、历史之问、时代之问，为彷徨求索的世界点亮前行之路，为各国人民走向携手同心共护家园、共享繁荣的美好未来贡献中国方案。
不久前，中国政府发布《携手构建人类命运共同体：中国的倡议与行动》白皮书，系统阐述中国为构建人类命运共同体作出的努力和取得的成就。
10年来，构建人类命运共同体的实践稳步推进。从双边到多边，从区域到全球，这一理念取得全方位、开创性的丰硕成果，共建“一带一路”倡议、全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议落地生根，给世界带来的是繁荣稳定的巨大红利，创造的是扎扎实实的民生福祉。国际社会普遍认为，人类命运共同体理念超越利己主义和保护主义，打破了个别国家唯我独尊的霸权思维，反映出中国对人类发展方向的独到见解，对于推动各国团结合作、共创人类美好未来具有重要意义。
中非命运共同体是最早提出的区域命运共同体，成为中国与地区国家构建命运共同体的典范。埃塞作为具有重要影响的非洲大国，是共建中非命运共同体的重要实践方。
中埃为持久和平凝聚更大合力。两国互为全面战略合作伙伴，始终在多边场合坚定相互支持，积极践行真正的多边主义，一道维护发展中国家共同利益，推动国际秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。双方都倡导尊重各国主权和领土完整，尊重彼此核心利益和重大关切，尊重各国人民自主选择的发展道路和社会制度，反对搞阵营对抗和排他性小圈子，走出一条“对话而不对抗，结伴而不结盟”国与国交往新路。
中埃为普遍安全创造有利环境。埃方坚定支持中方提出的全球安全倡议，倡导共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观，坚持通过对话协商解决国家间分歧和争端。中方支持埃方举办非洲之角和平会议，携手推进“非洲之角和平发展构想”。两国积极探索新的合作途径，更好统筹维护传统领域和非传统领域安全，加快提升生物安全、网络安全、数据安全、人工智能安全等领域对话合作，共同做好风险防范。
中埃为共同发展注入更强信心。两国均强调要推动发展问题重回国际议程的核心。习近平主席提出的全球发展倡议，同非盟《2063年议程》和联合国2030年可持续发展议程高度契合。中埃在全球发展倡议框架下开展务实合作，硕果累累。亚吉铁路项目、河岸绿色发展项目、中国援埃医疗队项目等在埃得民心、合民意，切实提高埃塞人民福祉，促进共同发展，成为共建人类命运共同体的金色名片。
中埃为文明互鉴提供不竭动力。两国都倡导平等、互鉴、对话、包容的文明观，倡导不同文明和平共处、和谐共生，共同推动人类文明实现创造性发展，夯实各国关系发展的民意基础，促进各国人民相知相亲。埃塞开设两所孔子学院、中国高校开设阿姆哈拉语专业，语言相通带来民心相通。不久前，驻埃塞使馆举行庆祝中华人民共和国成立74周年招待会，中埃艺术家共同表演独具民族特色的节目，充分体现了中埃两大文明古国文化在交流、互鉴、融合中创造性发展。一系列文化交流、文明互鉴活动成为全球文明倡议的生动实践。
中埃为生态保护采取切实行动。两国坚定践行人与自然和谐共生的理念，牢固树立尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然的意识，让绿色发展理念深入人心，让全球生态文明建设行稳致远，携手保护好人类赖以生存的地球家园。阿比总理提倡的“绿色遗产倡议”与习近平主席提出的人与自然和谐共生的中国式现代化高度契合，以实际行动为生态环境保护、应对气候变化作出重要贡献。
朋友们，中国有句古话，“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海”。我们愿同包括埃塞在内各方一道，高举人类命运共同体伟大旗帜，携手应对当前全球挑战，共同建设持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的美好世界！
To Jointly Build a Community with
A Shared Future for Mankind,
For a Better World in the Future
H.E. Zhao Zhiyuan
Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
10 years ago, President Xi Jinping propounded the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind, answering a question raised by the world, by history, and by our times: “Where is humanity headed?” His proposal lights the path forward as the world fumbles for solutions, and represents China’s contribution to global efforts to protect our shared home and create a better future of prosperity for all.
The other day, the Chinese Government released a white paper entitled “A Global Community of Shared Future: China’s Proposals and Actions”, which expounds on China’s efforts and achievements to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Over the past decade, the development of a community with a shared future for mankind has been steadily transformed into actions. On both bilateral and multilateral occasions and in both regional and global domains, fruitful and ground-breaking results have been yielded from the concept in all respects: joint implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI) has produced great dividends for global prosperity and stability and improved peoples’ livelihoods with concrete actions. It is universally recognized by the international community that the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind goes beyond egoism and protectionism, breaks through the hegemonic idea of self-superiority, and reflects on China’s unique insights into a direction for advancement of humanity. The concept is therefore highly relevant for promoting unity and cooperation among all countries and creating a bright future for mankind.
A China-Africa community with a shared future, as the first regional community deriving from the concept, has become a good example for China and regional countries to build a community with a shared future. Ethiopia, a major African country with great influence, is an important doer to jointly build a China-Africa community with a shared future.
China and Ethiopia work together to forge greater synergy to achieve lasting peace. The two countries, as comprehensive strategic cooperative partners, always firmly support each other on multilateral occasions, actively practice true multilateralism, together safeguard the common interests of developing countries and promote the development of a fairer and more equitable international order. Both sides advocate respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, respecting each others’ core interests and major concerns, and respecting the development path and social system chosen by the people of a country independently. We both oppose bloc confrontation and exclusive circles, and take a new approach to developing state-to-state relations with communication, not confrontation, and with partnership, not alliance.
China and Ethiopia work together to develop a conducive environment for universal security. The Ethiopian side firmly supports the GSI proposed by the Chinese side, advocates a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and remains committed to resolving differences and disputes among countries through dialogue and consultation. China lent its support to Ethiopia in holding the Horn of Africa Peace Conference so as to join hands in promoting the Outlook on Peace and Development in the Horn of Africa. Our two countries are actively exploring new ways for deeper cooperation and better coordination to maintain security in both traditional and non-traditional domains, promoting dialogues and cooperation in bio-security, cyber-security, data security and AI security, and jointly preventing potential threats.
China and Ethiopia work together to inject greater confidence to common development. Both countries highlight that development issues should be back at the core of international agenda. The GDI proposed by President Xi Jinping highly dovetails with the AU’s Agenda 2063 and UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Practical cooperation between China and Ethiopia under the framework of the GDI has produced a rich harvest. The Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway, the Addis Ababa riverside green development project, Chinese medical teams to Ethiopia and other projects have won the heart and mind of Ethiopians, improved their livelihoods, promoted common development and become “a golden business card” for jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind.
China and Ethiopia work together to provide a lasting source of driving force for mutual learning between civilizations. Both countries champion equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness between cultures, advocate peaceful and harmonious coexistence between civilizations, together take creative steps to advance human civilization and enhance popular support for relations between countries by promoting mutual understanding and affinity between peoples. Two Confucius Institutes have been set up in Ethiopia. Amharic language major has been set up in a Chinese university. Communication in each others’ language leads to people-to-people connectivity. Not long ago, the Chinese Embassy in Ethiopia held the National Day Reception in celebration of the 74 anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. During the Reception, Chinese and Ethiopian artists together staged traditional folk performance, showing that China and Ethiopia as two ancient civilizations advance their civilizations in a creative way by exchanges, mutual learning and integration. A series of exchanges between cultures and mutual learning between civilizations have been a vivid demonstration for implementing the GCI.
China and Ethiopia work together to preserve ecology through concrete actions. Both countries commit themselves to practicing the harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, raise the awareness of the need to respect, accommodate and protect nature, make green development a concept deep-rooted in people’s mind, make steady and long-term progress in global ecological conservation and join hands in protecting the Mother Earth for the sake of human survival. The “Green Legacy Initiative” proposed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahemd Ali encapsulates a similar vision with the harmonious coexistence between man and nature—one of the defining feature of Chinese modernization—proposed by President Xi Jinping. Under their guidance, both China and Ethiopia have made important contributions to preserving ecological environment and tackling climate change.
Friends, a line of an ancient Chinese poem reads, “Riding the winds and cleaving the waves, I will set cloud-like sail to cross the vast ocean.” We are ready to walk hand in hand with all parties including Ethiopia, hold high the banner of a community with a shared future for mankind, tackle current global challenges in joint efforts and build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity!
