“Strengthening Cooperation among Political Parties and Working Together for the People’s Wellbeing” is a keynote address delivered at the CPC and World Political Parties Summit via video link on July 6, 2021. According to the address, political parties, as an important force behind human progress, need to set the right course forward and shoulder their historic responsibility. We need to shoulder the responsibility to steer the course by seizing and shaping the shared future for humankind; shoulder the responsibility to build consensus by upholding and promoting the common values of humanity—peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom; shoulder the responsibility to promote development by bringing greater benefits to all peoples in a fairer manner; shoulder the responsibility to enhance cooperation by working together to address global risks and challenges; and shoulder the responsibility to improve governance by enhancing our capacity to ensure the people’s wellbeing. The address emphasizes that it is the unswerving goal of the CPC to run our own house well, ensure a happy life for the 1.4 billion plus Chinese people, and advance the lofty cause of promoting peace and development of all humankind. The CPC will continue to uphold the people-centered development philosophy, reflect upon the overarching issues of national rejuvenation and human progress in the greater context of time and space, and work with world political parties to live our dreams and act to create a better future. The CPC stands ready to continue to work with political parties and political organizations of all countries to stand on the right side of history and the progressive side of humankind, and make even greater contributions to the building of a human community with a shared future and for a better world.
