He took this opportunity to express his hope that China-EU relations would have a green light and remain unimpeded.
——Talk about global governance
When talking about his views on the current international order, Wang Yi made it clear that China advocates that an equal and orderly world multipolarization and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization should be achieved.
He said that we can no longer allow countries to be divided into three, six or nine levels based on their so-called strength and status. We can no longer allow whoever has the biggest fist to have the final say. We can no longer allow some countries to be on the table, and some countries can only be on the menu. .
——Talk about regional hot spots
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Ukrainian crisis, the peninsula issue... Regarding regional hot issues, Wang Yi clarified China's propositions.
"There is no distinction between high and low in life, and it cannot be divided by race or religion."
Wang Yi said that only by providing justice to the Palestinian people and fully implementing the "two-state solution" can we completely break out of the vicious cycle of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Another example is regarding the Ukraine crisis. Wang Yi said that the end point of any conflict is the negotiation table.
"The earlier we start talking, the sooner peace will come."
As it participates constructively in solving international hot-spot issues, China has also explored a way to solve hot-spot issues with Chinese characteristics.
The media at the scene asked what is the "way to success" for China's mediation diplomacy. Wang Yi answered with "four insistences": insisting on non-interference in internal affairs, insisting on political settlement, insisting on objectivity and fairness, and insisting on addressing both the symptoms and root causes.
——Discussing the bottom line of the Taiwan issue
Regarding the prospect of peaceful cross-Strait reunification, Wang Yi once again stated China's bottom line: If there are still people who condone and support "Taiwan independence", they are challenging China's sovereignty.
If a certain country insists on maintaining official relations with the Taiwan region, it is interfering in China's internal affairs.
Wang Yi emphasized: "I believe that sooner or later everyone will see a 'family portrait' photo of the international community adhering to the one-China principle. This is just a matter of time."
