Other features include:
A framework of all-round diplomacy has come into being. It consists of relations with major world powers, neighboring countries, developing countries, as well as global organizations.
Diplomacy has become increasingly interconnected with the development of the country. For instance, Olympics-related diplomacy was the focus of the foreign ministry's work in 2008, while combating the global financial crisis was the major task in 2009.
Innovation on diplomatic theories and institutions has become a major factor driving China's diplomacy. For instance, in view of the new demands on diplomatic work, new departments including the Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs, the Center for Consular Assistance and Protection, and the Public Diplomacy Office have been set up in the foreign ministry.
Yang said that 2010 is a crucial year in countering the impact of the global financial crisis and striving for economic recovery. It is also an important year for China to map out its development blueprint for the next five years. The overall international situation is expected to remain stable, while a variety of risks and destabilizing factors continue to exist.
Outlining the tasks for this year, Yang said China will stay committed to the path of peaceful development and win-win strategy of opening-up.
China will actively deal with the challenges in the political, economic and security spheres in the post-economic crisis era to preserve national sovereignty, security and development interests.
China will continue to work to make the international order fairer and more equitable and develop cooperative and productive relations with other countries on the basis of the code of conduct of international relations.
