Zhang Tao said that President Xi Jinping's statements about respecting and ensuring human rights will help Chinese and foreign readers know the extent of the development of the human rights issue in China, and understand the rich essence of the president's statements. What are human rights? How we look at it. “Only when the people of all countries live well can prosperity be sustained, security guaranteed, and human rights established on a solid foundation.”
In recent years, under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Egypt has been exploring a path to human rights development that suits its national circumstances. In 2021, Egypt launched the National Human Rights Strategy, reflecting its political will to promote and protect human rights and fulfill its international obligations. Egypt is also working to advance important strategies such as “Vision 2030”, “Decent Life Initiative” and “Solidarity and Dignity Initiative” and is committed to protecting and improving the people’s livelihood and protecting and promoting human rights through development. We are confident that publishing the Arabic edition of our president's book will help Egyptians better understand China's vision on human rights and global governance, and will contribute to strengthening cooperation between the two sides in the field of human rights.
Essam Sharaf, former Prime Minister of Egypt, said that President Xi Jinping expressed in his book not only the aspirations of the Chinese people, but also the aspirations of the peoples of many other developing countries, and I believe that the book provides a very good framework for dealing with human rights issues. In 1921, the Chinese dream was born: “the well-being of the citizen and the renaissance of the nation.” It is no wonder that the phrase “respect and protection of human rights” was included in the country’s constitution after the launch of the reform and opening-up process.
President Xi has made a series of statements and speeches on respecting the drawing of the road map for China's human rights development in the new era, thus contributing Chinese wisdom and experience to its development in the world, and these speeches have been compiled in this valuable book.
