Chinese President Xi Jinping’s latest successful diplomatic activities have again sent a signal to the world that however the international situation changes, China will always increase indispensible stability to the world that stands at critical moment by maintaining strategic composure, keeping a clear mind, and acting constructively and proactively.
China adds stability by showcasing a responsible stance to safeguard multilateralism and enhance global governance, which was expressed by Xi during his 9-day trip to Europe and Latin America.
From Nov. 27 to Dec. 5, Xi paid state visits to Spain, Argentina, Panama and Portugal, and attended the 13th Group of 20 (G20) summit in Buenos Aires.
Currently, the world needs to get rid of the deep-seated influence of the financial crisis, quicken the pace to replace old growth drivers with new ones, and conquer social pressure that came along with technological and industrial revolutions.
Against this backdrop, the G20 is placed with the hope to continue adopting a strategic vision and play a leading role in safeguarding multilateralism and improving global governance.
Xi called on G20 leaders to fulfill responsibility and steer the global economy in the right direction, in a speech delivered at the G20 summit.
He said that G20 leaders should stay committed to openness and cooperation and uphold the multilateral trading system, forge strong partnership and step up macro policy coordination.
The Chinese President also called on the G20 leaders to stay committed to innovation and create new momentum for growth, and stay committed to win-win cooperation to promote inclusive global development.
Kept abreast with the change of the international situation, Xi’s proposals offer a solution to the current challenges and are conducive to strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of global economy.
It also played a key role in propelling the G20 summit to reach consensus on major international agendas and release a declaration.
China injects stability by working actively to push for benign relations between major countries.
During the G20 summit, the meeting between President Xi and his US counterpart Donald Trump was the focus of global attention.
The two presidents agreed to jointly work toward a China-US relationship tuned by coordination, cooperation and stability, and promote bilateral cooperation and exchanges in various fields for more outcomes.
The important consensus not only conforms to the interests of China and the US, but also to expectations of the international community.
China-Russia relations, special and developing at a high level, are a role model for relations between major countries. During the G20 summit, President Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting like they did on multiple multilateral occasions.
The two heads of state, in their talks, made plans to celebrate the 70th anniversary of China-Russia diplomatic relations next year, in order to lead their comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination to a higher level.
China contributes more stability by showing willingness to deepen partnership through cooperation. In the latest years, China’s closer cooperation with Europe and Latin America has given a boost to development of both sides, and expanded their global influence.
Xi’s visits to the above four countries have not only injected strong impetus into bilateral cooperation, but also created new engines for China’s cooperation with the two regions.
Xi’s trip has indicated that as China further deepens reform and expands opening-up, it is unleashing more development opportunities to the world, and countries are having stronger confidence in fostering partnership, and achieving win-win cooperation with China.
Thanks to Xi’s visit, Spain, Argentina, Panama and Portugal are more willing to join the Belt and Road cooperation, and their pragmatic cooperation with China is embracing a promising prospect.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pointed out that Spain is laying more importance on Asia, especially China, which is opening itself wider to the world.

为处在关键当口的国际形势增添稳定性（钟声）
人民日报
11月27日至12月5日，中国国家主席习近平对西班牙、阿根廷、巴拿马、葡萄牙进行国事访问并出席在阿根廷举行的二十国集团领导人第十三次峰会。通过这一成功的重大外交行动，世界再次看到，无论国际风云如何变幻，中国始终保持战略定力与清醒，以建设性姿态和积极主动的作为，为处在关键当口的国际形势增添不可或缺的稳定性。
来自中国的稳定性，体现在维护多边主义、加强全球治理的负责任立场。
当前，破除金融危机的深层次影响，推动经济增长新旧动能转换，克服伴随科技与产业革命而来的社会压力，种种现实挑战都呼唤二十国集团继续展示战略视野，在维护多边主义、完善全球治理方面发挥引领作用。
着眼于推动二十国集团各方以负责任态度把握世界经济大方向，习近平主席在峰会作引导性讲话时提出四个坚持：坚持开放合作，维护多边贸易体制；坚持伙伴精神，加强宏观政策协调；坚持创新引领，挖掘经济增长动力；坚持普惠共赢，促进全球包容发展。这些倡议紧扣形势变化，解答时代命题，有利于推动世界经济强劲、可持续、平衡、包容增长，为推动本次二十国集团领导人峰会就重大国际问题达成共识并通过领导人宣言发挥了重要作用。
来自中国的稳定性，体现在促进大国关系良性互动的积极担当。
二十国集团领导人峰会期间，习近平主席同美国总统特朗普的会晤全球瞩目。中美双方在会晤中同意共同推进以协调、合作、稳定为基调的中美关系，推动两国各领域交流合作取得更多成果。这一重要共识不仅符合中美双方利益，也符合国际社会的期待。具有高水平和特殊性的中俄关系，堪称当今世界大国相处的典范。此次二十国集团领导人峰会，习近平主席同俄罗斯总统普京延续在重要多边场合会晤的传统，共同为明年庆祝两国建交70周年作出规划，引领中俄全面战略协作伙伴关系迈向更高水平。
来自中国的稳定性，体现在深化伙伴关系的合作取向。过去几年来，中欧、中拉整体合作不断提升，为双方发展带来助力，国际影响力日益扩大。此次，习近平主席对西班牙、阿根廷、巴拿马、葡萄牙四国进行访问，不仅为中国同四国的双边合作注入了强劲动力，也为中欧、中拉整体合作继续攀升带来了新的推动。
从此次访问可以看出，随着中国进一步深化改革扩大开放，向世界释放的发展机遇不断增多，各国同中国加强伙伴关系、实现合作共赢的动力与信心持续加强。通过习近平主席的此次访问，西班牙、阿根廷、巴拿马、葡萄牙四国融入“一带一路”合作的意向进一步加强，同中国开展务实合作的空间正变得更加广阔。西班牙首相桑切斯的观点很有代表性——在这个充满变化的时代，西班牙越来越关注亚洲，尤其是重视日益走向世界的中国。
