China News Agency, Beijing, March 30 (Reporter Xing Chong Guo Jinchao) In the spring, China's diplomatic dramas have been staged one after another. As soon as the Chinese Foreign Minister's trip to South Asia is over, home diplomacy will resume.

　　On the 30th, in Tunxi, Anhui Province, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will preside over the third Afghan Neighboring Foreign Ministers' Meeting, followed by the "Afghanistan Neighboring Countries + Afghanistan" Foreign Ministers' Dialogue and other important agendas will also be held back-to-back in this small town.

　　In fact, more than ten days ago, the prelude to this spring diplomacy was played here.

From March 19 to 20, Wang Yi held talks with the visiting Zambian and Algerian foreign ministers in Tunxi respectively, and held a video meeting with the Tanzanian foreign minister who was on a video visit to China. The small town of Tunxi became the living room of the World Club.

　　Why Tunxi?

Why did a series of major diplomatic events choose to be held in this small town at the foot of Mount Huangshan?

　　Perhaps, the consideration can be read from a series of previous measures in China's diplomacy.

　　Drinking tea in the West Lake, meeting in Wuhan, diplomacy in the hometown... Chinese leaders have received foreign guests in many places outside Beijing, leaving many stories.

Especially in recent days, more options for home-court diplomacy have been placed outside Beijing.

The Tianjin talks between the two countries after the Sino-US Anchorage dialogue, to the meeting between the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers between the mountains and rivers in Guilin, and then to Nanping, Fujian at the foot of Wuyi Mountain to receive the foreign ministers of the four ASEAN countries... In places with different scenery and cultural differences between the north and the south, the outside world will listen to them. Go to the Voice of China Diplomacy and see the different appearances of the great powers in the East.

　　Tunxi is located at the foot of Mount Huangshan, a world cultural and natural heritage, from which the Xin'an River flows.

There are strange pines in Mount Huangshan, which symbolize that China's tolerant and broad-minded welcoming pines are famous all over the world.

Not long ago, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, fireworks in the shape of welcoming pine jumped from the bird's nest, welcoming guests from all directions with Chinese romance.

In history, it is precisely because of frequent visits that Tunxi has become the center of Huizhou culture. More than 400 years ago, Anhui merchants expanded their trade to Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe and other places from this area. Under the reputation of "no emblem, no business".

We welcome visitors from all over the world and have the courage to explore the world. This condensed expression reflects the Chinese people's tolerance, openness, pioneering and enterprising character.

　　The choice of Tunxi can also be interpreted from the measures taken by China's diplomacy to serve domestic development and strengthen Sino-foreign cooperation.

　　Since 2016, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has held global promotion activities for domestic provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, creating conditions for local opening up and creating a platform for the world to understand China.

For example, at the global promotion conference of Anhui Province held in 2017, Wang Yi praised Huangshan as "the best mountain, not only in China, but also the most beautiful mountain in the world".

　　More and more major diplomatic events are held in small towns such as Tunxi.

There are many stories in the small town. The small town witnesses the stories of the diplomacy of major countries. The visiting foreigners can feel the pulse of China's economic and social development while enjoying the diverse cultural and regional customs of China.

　　This is the first time that China has hosted the Afghan Neighboring Foreign Ministers' Meeting. Due to the particularity of the topic, this series of home-court diplomacy in the spring has made the small town Tunxi a big stage for connecting the world.

　　At present, the Afghan issue is still at an important position on the international peace and security agenda. The Afghan people are facing multiple internal and external challenges. The reconstruction and development of the "Heart of Asia" urgently needs more support and help from the outside world.

At a critical period when the situation in Afghanistan is changing from chaos to governance, Afghanistan's neighbors gathered at this meeting, especially the acting foreign minister of the Afghan interim government, Mottaki, who will be invited to attend the "Afghanistan neighbors + Afghanistan" foreign ministers' dialogue. The outside world believes that, The direct "face-to-face" communication between neighboring countries and Afghanistan will help enhance mutual understanding, build a foundation for mutual trust, effectively convey the concerns of neighboring countries on the Afghanistan issue, and promote the establishment of an open and inclusive political structure in Afghanistan.

　　Judging from the time node, Wang Yi just visited Afghanistan not long ago.

Immediately after the end of the foreign visit, with on-the-spot inspection of the Afghan interim government's construction and governance and problem-solving thinking, the Chinese side "hosted" in Tunxi and invited relevant parties to sit down at the round table to jointly discuss the realization of Afghanistan's true independence and peace. Self-development and finding good strategies and ways for the Afghan people to truly take their destiny into their own hands can be regarded as a manifestation of diplomatic wisdom.

　　Huangshan is not only rich in pines, but also rich in tea.

The Chinese character "tea" is split, which is exactly "people in the grass and trees", which expresses the natural realm of "harmony between man and nature".

Chinese people love to drink tea, and they love to meet friends with tea.

At this time, Tunxi Spring Tea was on the market. In Southern Anhui Lingxiu, I believe that foreign guests will be able to taste the wisdom of oriental diplomacy from a new cup of tea and find a solution to the problem.
