党坚持独立自主的和平外交政策，倡导和坚持和平共处五项原则，坚定维护国家独立、主权、尊严，支持和援助世界被压迫民族解放事业、新独立国家建设事业和各国人民正义斗争，反对帝国主义、霸权主义、殖民主义、种族主义，彻底结束了旧中国的屈辱外交。

The Party adhered to an independent foreign policy of peace, championed and upheld the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and firmly defended China’s independence, sovereignty, and dignity. It provided support and assistance for other oppressed nations in seeking liberation, for newly independent countries in their pursuit of development, and for various peoples as they put up just struggles, and stood opposed to imperialism, hegemonism, colonialism, and racism. The humiliating diplomacy of the old China was put to an end.

改革开放以后，党坚持独立自主的和平外交政策，为我国发展营造了良好外部环境，为人类进步事业作出重大贡献。

Since the launch of reform and opening up, the Party has remained committed to an independent foreign policy of peace, fostered an external environment conducive to China’s development, and made significant contributions to human progress.

（四）坚持独立自主。

4. Staying independent

党历来坚持独立自主开拓前进道路，坚持把国家和民族发展放在自己力量的基点上，坚持中国的事情必须由中国人民自己作主张、自己来处理。人类历史上没有一个民族、一个国家可以通过依赖外部力量、照搬外国模式、跟在他人后面亦步亦趋实现强大和振兴。那样做的结果，不是必然遭遇失败，就是必然成为他人的附庸。

The Party has always followed an independent path as it has pressed forward, stressing reliance on our own efforts to drive the nation’s development, and maintaining that China’s affairs must be decided and run by the Chinese people themselves. Throughout human history, no nation or country has ever become strong and prosperous by relying on external forces, indiscriminately copying the models of other countries, or blindly following in others’ footsteps. Those who have attempted to do so have either suffered inevitable defeat or been reduced to vassals of others.

只要我们坚持独立自主、自力更生，既虚心学习借鉴国外的有益经验，又坚定民族自尊心和自信心，不信邪、不怕压，就一定能够把中国发展进步的命运始终牢牢掌握在自己手中。

As long as we maintain independence and self-reliance, bolster our people’s sense of national dignity and self-confidence while drawing on the useful experience of other countries, and refuse to be taken in by fallacies or to bend in the face of pressure, we will be able to keep the fate of China’s development and progress firmly in our own hands.

毛宁：我们注意到扎哈罗娃女士的积极表态。伟大长征精神鼓舞激励中国人民攻坚克难，取得了举世瞩目的发展成就。在实现中华民族伟大复兴的新长征路上，中国将坚持独立自主的和平外交政策，同包括俄罗斯在内的世界各国团结合作，共促和平与发展，携手构建人类命运共同体。

Mao Ning: We noted the positive comments of Ms. Zakharova. The great Long March spirit has always inspired the Chinese people to overcome difficulties and make remarkable development achievements. On the new Long March towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China will uphold the independent foreign policy of peace, and work with Russia and other countries in solidarity to promote peace and development and jointly build a community with a shared future for humanity.

习近平主席指出，中印两国国情不同，完全可以取长补短、相互支持、彼此成就、共同发展。双方要以客观理性的战略认知校准方向，以合作共赢的理念相互成就，以互尊互谅的政治智慧排除干扰，以开放包容的多边协作兼济天下，共同推动中印关系行稳致远。莫迪总理表示，印方坚持独立自主外交政策，发展对华关系不受第三方影响，印方不允许任何势力在印从事反华活动。中方重视莫迪总理作出的重要表态。

As President Xi noted, China and India have different national realities. We should draw on each other’s strengths, support each other, help each other succeed, and develop together. To promote the steady and sustained development of China-India relations, both sides need to calibrate the direction with an objective and rational strategic perception, help each other succeed in the spirit of win-win cooperation, remove irritants with the political wisdom of mutual respect and mutual understanding, and contribute to a better world with open and inclusive multilateral coordination. Prime Minister Modi said that India has an independent foreign policy, developing relations with China is not affected by any third party and that it will not allow any force to engage in anti-China activities on its territory. China values Prime Minister Modi’s statements.

这是自立自强的20年。金砖国家作为全球南方第一方阵，坚持独立自主，积极探索符合自身国情的发展道路，成为新兴市场和发展中国家联合自强的典范。

These are 20 years of self-reliance and self-strengthening. Standing at the forefront of the Global South, we BRICS countries have upheld independence, actively explored development paths suited to our respective national conditions, and set a fine example of emerging markets and developing countries seeking strength through unity.
