A new volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" by Chinese President Xi Jinping was unveiled in nine additional languages on Wednesday during the ongoing London Book Fair.
The new book contains 99 speeches, talks, instructions and congratulatory messages made by President Xi Jinping from Aug. 18, 2014 to Sept. 29, 2017. The corresponding first volume was published in 2014, and is available in 24 language versions.
The new volume offers readers around the world further insight into China's development, international engagement and the thoughts of the Chinese leader, according to Zhang Fuhai, president of China International Publishing Group (CIPG), the publisher of Xi's book.
At the book launch ceremony, attended by 300 political, business, academic, and global publishers, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, said that the book's international publication is a "milestone."
He said he hopes the book will enlighten readers about where China is going and what it is thinking.
"This book encourages people to not only visit China but learn more about it," he said.
Jiang Jianguo, minister of the State Council Information Office, said, "The first and second volumes of the book, which are a holistic entirety, constitute the main content and the basic structure of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era."
Jiang said Xi's thought is attractive because it's rooted in fertile humanistic soil, built on a people-centric stance and takes aim at the future of mankind.
