Abstract: The strategic planning for the foreign-related rule of law, along with the mandate to synergistically advance both domestic and foreign-related rule of law, sets forth clearer objectives and more meticulous requirements for all areas of legal practice, aspects of legal scholarship, and components of legal education. To achieve these objectives, it is essential to define the fundamental principles of foreign-related rule of law, which serve as high-level precepts and a guiding philosophy. In the current context, the development of foreign-related rule of law must uphold the Party’s leadership as its foundational soul, adhere to a people-centered approach to meet people’s aspirations for a better life, construct a framework for a dynamic balance between security and development, create a paradigm that appropriately integrates cooperation and struggle, and promote an organic synergy between the overall domestic and international situations. In the planning and implementation of all work, these principles must be established as legislative guidelines. They should permeate all subjects and stages of foreign-related legal activities, serve as the basis for interpreting relevant laws and regulations, be applied to address legal loopholes, enrich legal theory and knowledge systems, and guide participation in global governance and adherence to the international rule of law. The implementation of these principles will effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, contributing to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Key words: foreign-related rule of law, fundamental principles, the Party’s leadership, people-centered, a community with a shared future for humanity
