Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Wednesday called for continuously building a community with a shared future for humanity.

Addressing a gathering to celebrate the 105th founding anniversary of the CPC, Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, said that with accelerated changes unseen in a century, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation, and humanity has once again come to a crossroads.

He called for building a new type of international relations, implementing the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative, so as to lend more positive energy to world peace and development.
