China News Service, Munich, February 17. On February 17, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a speech titled "Resolutely Be a Stabilizing Force in a Turbulent World" at the "China Special". Keynote speech.
Wang Yi said that the world is full of turmoil and mankind faces multiple challenges. Protectionism and pan-security have impacted the world economy, while unilateralism and group politics have severely damaged the international system. The crisis in Ukraine has worsened, and conflicts in the Middle East have resumed. New challenges such as artificial intelligence, climate change, and space polar regions are coming one after another. However, no matter how the international situation changes, China, as a responsible major country, will always maintain the continuity and stability of its major policies and firmly act as a stabilizing force in a turbulent world.
The first is to serve as a stabilizing force that promotes cooperation between major countries. Jointly implement the consensus reached by the heads of state of China and the United States and promote Sino-US relations along the right track of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. Stably develop China-Russia relations and promote Asia-Pacific and global strategic stability. Adhere to the positioning of China-EU partnership and inject positive energy into dealing with chaos.
The second is to act as a stabilizing force in dealing with hot issues. Implement global security initiatives and strive to explore solutions to hot-spot issues with Chinese characteristics. We insist on non-interference in internal affairs and oppose imposition on others; we insist on objectivity and fairness and oppose seeking personal gain; we insist on political settlement and oppose the use of force; we insist on addressing both the symptoms and root causes and oppose short-sightedness and one-sidedness.
The third is to serve as a stabilizing force in strengthening global governance. We support the authority and core status of the United Nations and the primary role of the Security Council in peace and security issues. Strengthen solidarity and cooperation in the "Global South" and enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in global affairs. Provide more public goods to the world and make China's contribution to addressing global challenges.
The fourth is to be a stabilizing force that promotes global growth. China's economy has always been full of vitality and resilience, and its long-term positive momentum has become more obvious. In the future, greater benefits will be released to the world. We are focused on realizing Chinese-style modernization and are willing to work with all parties to promote globalization in a more inclusive direction so that more countries and more people can benefit from it.
