Xi addresses Eastern Economic Forum Plenary Session

"We need to form synergy to safeguard regional peace and stability," he said, adding that all parties need to narrow differences and build consensus through dialogue and exchanges, embrace the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and work for a harmonious and tranquil homeland for us all.

Noting that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and China has started a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist country, Xi said China is ready to work with all parties to uphold true multilateralism, advocate trust and harmony, promote win-win cooperation, and march with firm steps toward the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The sixth Eastern Economic Forum is being held from Sept 2 to 4 in Russia's far eastern city of Vladivostok, with the theme of "The Opportunities for the Far East in a World under Transformation."
