A New Type of Security Partnership

The Eighth Beijing Xiangshan Forum was held in October 2018 under the theme "Building a New Type of Security Partnership of Equality, Mutual Trust and Win-Win Cooperation." The new-type security partnership is a new approach to international security governance responding to the development of the times. 

The approach calls for dialog rather than confrontation, collaboration rather than alliance with some against others, multilateralism rather than unilateralism, and mutually beneficial cooperation rather than zero-sum games. It requires expanded exchanges with other countries and their militaries in various formats, at different levels and through multiple channels to build mutual understanding and trust. It adheres to resolving disputes and differences through dialog and consultation, effective control of risks, and joint actions to counter threats and security challenges and contribute to world and regional peace and stability. 

The goal of building a new type of security partnership is to encourage all countries to free themselves from the straitjacket of old thinking of alliance or confrontation, and embrace an inclusive and constructive approach to developing security partnerships on the basis of equality and mutual understanding - partnerships that accommodate today's trends and do not target an assumed enemy or any third party. It is essential to promote the building of a global community with a shared future, and call on all countries to shoulder their responsibilities and work together to strengthen security cooperation that benefits all, to forge a new form of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, and to create a better future for humanity.

構建新型安全伙伴關系

2018年10月舉行的第八屆北京香山論壇，主題為“打造平等互信、合作共贏的新型安全伙伴關系”。構建新型安全伙伴關系，是順應時代發展潮流提出的國際安全治理新理念。主要內容包括：提倡對話不對抗，結伴不結盟，多邊不單邊，互利合作而不搞零和博弈；通過多形式、多層次、多渠道加強與各國及其軍隊的對話交流，增信釋疑，逐步建立軍事安全互信機制；堅持以對話磋商妥善處理矛盾分歧，有效管控戰略風險，攜手應對各種威脅挑戰，共同為維護地區和世界的和平穩定作出努力。

構建新型安全伙伴關系，旨在倡導各國跳出結盟或對抗的窠臼，順應時代發展潮流，平等相待、互商互諒，探索構建不設假想敵、不針對第三方、具有包容性和建設性的安全伙伴關系，推動構建人類命運共同體，呼吁各國共擔責任，共同走出一條共建、共享、共贏的安全合作之路，促進構建相互尊重、公平正義、合作共贏的新型國際關系，共創人類更加美好的未來。
