BEIJING, September 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said here on Friday that China will work for building "a new world of peace, amity and harmony" together with the people throughout the world.

Wen made the remarks at a reception marking the 56th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China held in the Great Hall of the People in downtown Beijing.

About 1,000 Chinese and foreign diplomats, scholars and people from all walks of life were present at the reception.

In fact, Chinese leaders and senior officials over the past few months have kept highlighting the new feature of the country's foreign policy: "peace, development and cooperation".

In an article issued in August, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said that seeking peace, amity and harmony among all countries is a key component of Chinese traditional culture. Under the banner of peace, development and cooperation, the country's diplomacy has kept forging ahead and contributed to safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.

In Asia, China helped its surrounding countries deal with the financial crisis in 1997 and offered the country's largest-ever aid to the tsunami-hit countries in January this year.

China also initiated the Shanghai Cooperation Organization for regional security and economic cooperation and promoted cooperation between China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
