China publishes selected works of Jiang Zemin on foreign policy

A collection of selected works by late Chinese leader Jiang Zemin on foreign policy has been published.

The book, jointly compiled by the Institute of Party History and Literature of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contains 115 reports, speeches, remarks, letters, responses to questions and other documents on foreign policy by Jiang from July 1989 to July 2003.

Some of the works were made public for the first time.

The publication came as China held a grand gathering to commemorate Jiang's birth centenary on Monday.

Born in August 1926, Jiang was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in 1989.

He was the core of the third generation of the Party's central collective leadership and the principal founder of the Theory of Three Represents.

In 2022, Jiang passed away at the age of 96.

The collection reflects Jiang's important thinking and outstanding contributions to the theory and practice of China's diplomacy of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The book is now available nationwide.
