和平是中国人民的永恒期望，是中国发展的鲜明特征。新中国成立以来，中国坚定不移走和平发展道路，在实现自我发展的同时，为世界和平与发展作出了重要贡献。中国始终坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系，坚定维护以《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则为基石的国际关系基本准则，同各国一道，坚守多边主义，维护公平正义。

Peace is an ever-lasting aspiration of the Chinese people and the salient feature of China's development. Since its founding, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been firmly committed to the path of peaceful development; it has made a significant contribution to world peace and development while realizing its own development. China has always resolutely safeguarded the UN-centered international system and the basic norms governing international relations underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and worked with countries around the world to uphold multilateralism, equity and justice.
