亲仁善邻

To Be Benevolent and Friendly Towards Neighboring Countries
The ancient Chinese used this notion as an important guiding principle in handling relations with neighboring countries: Countries should respect and be friendly to each other, and jointly foster a benign and stable environment. This is in the fundamental interests of all countries and their people.
