　　中国共产党和中国政府坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，始终把人民利益摆在至高无上的地位，把人民对美好生活的向往作为奋斗目标，不断提高尊重与保障中国人民各项基本权利的水平。前不久召开的中国共产党第十九次全国代表大会描绘了中国发展的宏伟蓝图，必将有力推动中国人权事业发展，为人类进步事业作出新的更大的贡献。

　　当今世界，发展中国家人口占80%以上，全球人权事业发展离不开广大发展中国家共同努力。人权事业必须也只能按照各国国情和人民需求加以推进。发展中国家应该坚持人权的普遍性和特殊性相结合的原则，不断提高人权保障水平。国际社会应该本着公正、公平、开放、包容的精神，尊重并反映发展中国家人民的意愿。中国人民愿与包括广大发展中国家在内的世界各国人民同心协力，以合作促发展，以发展促人权，共同构建人类命运共同体。
