China remains committed to an independent foreign policy of peace and to peaceful development and pursues friendship and cooperation with other countries, and stands ready to work with the international community to put into action the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI), Premier Li Keqiang said in his Government Work Report delivered during the first session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) on Sunday.
Some Chinese experts believe that pursuing peace and pushing forward peaceful development are the biggest characteristics of China’s foreign policy, and the GDI and GSI are China’s solutions to tackle many urgent global issues. Meanwhile, China will continue retaining the “fighting spirit” in its foreign policy, aiming to safeguard its legitimate rights in sovereignty, security and development.
