The leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is the biggest political advantage of China's diplomacy and the fundamental safeguard for continued victory in China's diplomacy, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a press conference in Beijing on March 7 on the sidelines of the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, answering questions of journalists from home and abroad on China's foreign policy and external relations. 

Wang said that China's diplomacy is a people-oriented diplomacy led by the CPC, and the Party set the direction for China's diplomatic agenda. 

The original inspiration and mission of the CPC—to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation—determines the responsibility of China's diplomacy, he said. 

The Party's values also determine the basic principles of Chinese diplomacy, which is to uphold peaceful development, seek win-win outcomes and promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, he added.
