China has been actively pursuing peaceful solutions through dialogue and consensus in the face of growing geopolitical tensions and global instability, according to Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a statement, Xi emphasized China's commitment to working with all countries to promote friendship and cooperation, improve cultural exchange, and build a community with a shared future for humanity. This effort is reflected in various initiatives such as the implementation of the first UN Security Council ceasefire resolution in Gaza in March, the signing of the Beijing Declaration on Strengthening Palestinian Unity in July, and the establishment of the "Friends for Peace" group to address the Ukraine crisis alongside other Global South countries.
