* "Swiss army knife embodies Swiss craftsmanship. When I first got one, I was amazed that it has so many functions. I cannot help thinking how wonderful it would be if an exquisite Swiss army knife could be made for our world affairs. When there is a problem, we can use the knife to fix it. I believe that with unremitting efforts of the international community, such a knife can be made." (Xi's keynote speech at the UN Geneva office on Jan 18, 2017)

* "The ancient Chinese believed that 'One should be good at finding the laws of things and solving problems.' Building a community of shared future is an exciting goal, and it requires efforts by one generation after another." (Xi's keynote speech at the UN Geneva office on Jan 18, 2017)

* "We should stay committed to building a world of lasting peace through dialogue and consultation."

  "We should build a world of common security for all through joint efforts."

  "We should build a world of common prosperity through win-win cooperation."
