For a tree to grow tall, a strong and solid root is essential; for a river to reach far, an unimpeded source is necessary.

“求木之长者，必固其根本；欲流之远者，必浚其泉源。”发展是安全的基础，安全是发展的条件。贫瘠的土地上长不成和平的大树，连天的烽火中结不出发展的硕果。

“For a tree to grow tall, a strong and solid root is essential; for a river to reach far, an unimpeded source is necessary.” Development is the foundation of security, and security the precondition for development. The tree of peace does not grow on barren land, and the fruits of development are not harvested amidst the flames of war.

——Speech at the Fourth Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia，May 21, 2014
