On the same day, a press conference was held at the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress. Wang Yi answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on issues related to "China's foreign policy and foreign relations".
Wang Yi said that China firmly believes that the correct way out is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation under the banner of multilateralism, and join hands to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
As President Xi Jinping pointed out, "In the turbulent waves of a global crisis, countries are not riding on more than 190 small boats, but on a big boat with a shared destiny. Small boats can't stand the wind and waves, only the big ships can withstand the stormy waves."
- The top priority is to maintain peace.
Peace is the premise and foundation of all development.
We must uphold the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, abandon the idea of exclusive security and absolute security, insist on ending conflicts through negotiation, resolving disputes through dialogue, enhancing mutual trust through cooperation, and jointly building a world of lasting peace.
- The second is to promote unity.
The world is wonderful because of its diversity, and differences should not be a reason for confrontation.
We must uphold genuine multilateralism, advocate the common values of all mankind, oppose hegemony and power, oppose bloc politics, defend the international system with the United Nations at its core, safeguard the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes of the UN Charter, and promote the global governance system towards a more fair and reasonable direction.
- The third is to persist in opening up.
Economic globalization is the trend of the times, and it cannot be shifted by human will, nor can it be cut off by geographical competition.
We must oppose all forms of protectionism and isolationism, firmly uphold a free, fair, and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system, tear down high walls, and jointly build an open market.
- The fourth is to strengthen cooperation.
In the face of global challenges, no country can stay out of the way, and no country can stand alone.
We must work together to overcome difficulties, strengthen communication and coordination on global issues such as the new crown epidemic, terrorism, climate change, and cyber security, draw the greatest common divisor, and draw the greatest concentric circles.
Wang Yi emphasized that in the face of a turbulent and changing world, China has always represented stability and positive energy, and has always stood in the right direction of historical progress.
"We will continue to have the world in mind, shoulder our responsibilities, unswervingly hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, promote the building of a new type of international relations, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and work together with all progressive forces in the world to seek development. Towards the future together." (End)
