A symposium on the study and research of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy was held in Beijing on Tuesday.

Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and China's foreign minister, attended and addressed the event.

Wang said that Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy is a constantly developing and open Marxist theory that always stays at the forefront of the times, answers the world's new questions, and provides powerful intellectual tools and scientific guidance for Chinese diplomacy to forge ahead courageously.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally spearheaded a series of major theoretical and practical innovations, leading China's external work to achieve historic accomplishments and undergo historic transformation, Wang said.

"We should leverage the reissue of the study outline on Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy's advanced nature in driving theoretical innovation and its historical initiative in serving national rejuvenation," Wang said.

"Looking back on the extraordinary journey of diplomacy in the new era, we have become more deeply aware that General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic guidance is our fundamental guarantee, that unwavering commitment to Chinese characteristics is the foundation of our conviction, that building a community with a shared future for humanity is our glorious banner, and that creating a favorable international environment for Chinese modernization is our mission," he said.

Wang noted that the diplomatic and foreign affairs front should make new and greater contributions to building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization.

The symposium was hosted by the Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy research center.

Microsoft has apologized for a global service outage that left millions of users unable to use its apps, saying the cause was not a cyberattack.

The software giant said on Friday that it was deeply sorry for the global outage that affected millions of users. The company said the failure was not related to cyberattacks or AI agents, but was triggered by an earlier "network capacity upgrade," and that it cannot yet say when service will be fully restored.

On the same day, Microsoft described its recovery progress as "encouraging" and said it was working to deal with the aftermath of the outage.

The failure left Teams, Outlook and the AI software Copilot unavailable in at least 70 countries.

The company had also said earlier that some users could still run into intermittent access problems.

Britain's National Health Service (NHS) made a statement on Friday that the outage "inevitably" had a "disruptive impact" on its staff, but that appointments were going ahead as normal.

Around the world, some schools have asked parents to get in touch by phone. The U.S. federal government and court system have also reported related problems.

The outage began on Thursday, when multiple Microsoft 365 services failed on a wide scale, affecting government agencies, businesses and individual users in many countries. It is the second interruption of Microsoft 365 services this year.

The first disruption this year was on Jan 22, when Outlook, Teams and other services went down for several hours.
