Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chinese president, delivered a keynote speech at the Communist Party of China and World Political Parties Summit via video link in Beijing on Tuesday.

Here are some highlights from Xi's speech:

- International community has made great efforts to curb COVID-19 and revitalize the economy.

- We are at a crossroads, with choice of cooperation or closure.

- Win-win cooperation and coexistence are the only solution.

- All countries and nations are equally entitled to development opportunities and rights to development.

- Self-interest is narrow minded.

- Viewed from the perspective of "a global community with a shared future," the world is a vast and broad place full of cooperation opportunities.

- We need to champion the common values of humanity, foster broad-minded tolerance toward the understanding of values by different civilizations, and respect the explorations of different peoples to turn values into reality.

- Peaceful development is an unwavering goal of the CPC.

- We need to enable all countries to step up development cooperation, and see to it that the fruits of development are shared by all.

- Any political manipulation for the purpose of sabotaging the development of other countries and undercutting the livelihood of other peoples will receive little support and prove to be futile.

- There are different pathways toward wellbeing, and people of all countries are entitled to choose their own development paths and institutional models.

- Democracy is the right of all peoples rather than an exclusive privilege of the few.

- In the face of the ongoing COVID-19, we need to continue with a science-based response approach and advocate solidarity and cooperation so as to close the "immunization gap".

- It is the CPC's unswerving goal to run China's house well, ensure a happy life for over 1.4 billion Chinese people, and promote peace and development for all mankind.

- All efforts of individual countries to independently explore the path to modernization in light of their specific national conditions are worthy of respect.

- Cutting one's feet to fit the shoes will lead nowhere.
