China will provide new opportunities for global development with new accomplishments in Chinese modernization, President Xi Jinping said in a congratulatory message to the Lanting Forum on Chinese Modernization and the World held in Shanghai on Friday.
The country will lend new impetus to humanity’s search for paths toward modernization and better social systems, and work with all countries to advance the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, he said in the message.
Realizing modernization is a relentless pursuit of the Chinese people since modern times began. It is also the common aspiration of people of all countries.
“In pursuing modernization, a country needs to follow certain general patterns. More importantly, it should proceed from its own realities and develop its own features,” Xi said.
After a long and arduous quest, the Communist Party of China has led the entire Chinese nation in finding a development path that suits China’s conditions.
“We are now building a strong country and advancing national rejuvenation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization,” Xi said.
The Lanting Forum on Chinese Modernization and the World was organized by the China Public Diplomacy Association and the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, and was supported by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. Representatives of governments, think tanks and the media from nearly 80 countries participated in the Forum.
