"Head-of-state diplomacy is the highest form of China's diplomacy. It plays a decisive role in major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi Jinping has personally planned and executed head-of-state diplomacy with many remarkable achievements and highlights. He has made 55 international visits, covering 72 countries spanning across five continents. He has received more than 230 visits from foreign heads of state paying state visits to China," said Ma.
The vice foreign minister said President Xi has maintained strategic communication with leaders from around the world, outlining in detail his views on how to achieve peaceful development and win-win cooperation and promote global solidarity, and providing a strong force for peace, stability and progress in a changing and turbulent world.
"President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin took the high-speed train and watched ice hockey game together. He wished Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev a happy birthday. He signed the book, 'Xi Jinping: The Governance of China,' carried by Chilean President Gabriel Boric. All of these are wonderful tales in China's diplomacy. From state visits to home-ground diplomacy, from international multilateral summits to important meetings in China, President Xi has expounded on the vision of a community with a shared future for humanity on all these occasions, further enriching this important concept and pulling international consensus," said Ma.
