China's ** about the commentator Dong Yifan.
From February 16 to 21, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and head of the Communist Party of China, attended the 60th Munich Security Conference, visited Spain and France, and held a China-France strategic dialogue in France. This high-level visit to Europe plays an important role in strengthening strategic communication between China and the EU, jointly implementing the consensus of leaders, jointly leading China-EU relations to achieve stability and long-term development in the new era, and making positive contributions to world peace, stability, development and progress.
Wang Yi's high-level and wide-ranging visit shows the importance that China and the EU rely on each other in the context of world turmoil. During the meeting, Wang Yi expounded China's propositions and solutions on China's role as a stabilizing force in a turbulent world, demonstrating China's responsibility, meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Serbia's Vučić, and meeting with the heads of the foreign affairs departments of the European Union and France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and other European countries. During his visit to Spain, Wang Yi met with King Felipe VI, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Foreign Minister Alvarez. During his visit to France, Wang Yi met with Emmanuel Macron** and co-chaired the 25th China-France Strategic Dialogue with France** Foreign Affairs Adviser Jean-Pierre Bonne. During the visit, a series of high-level interactions not only covered major European countries and major countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Southern Europe, but also showed that China and the EU have fully resumed face-to-face exchanges at all levels, and bilateral relations have shown a good momentum of stability and upward progress.
As the world faces severe challenges, China and the EU are both important global multi-level forces and shoulder the great responsibility of being a stabilizing force in a turbulent world. **The President pointed out that China and the EU are two major forces promoting multipolarization, two major markets supporting globalization, and two major civilizations advocating diversity. During his meeting with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, Wang Yi said that both China and the EU advocate multilateralism, and China and the EU should work together to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and promote economic globalization that benefits all people. Borrell also pointed out that EU-China relations are developing well, and cooperation can and should be strengthened, and he is willing to strengthen cooperation with China on multilateral affairs to jointly address global challenges such as climate change.
At the same time, China is also responding to the EU's concerns on hotspot issues. During the Ukraine crisis, China insisted on promoting peace talks, and played an important role in strengthening the consensus on stopping the war and building the direction of peace talks. In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China adheres to fairness and justice, campaigns for a ceasefire and stops violence, does its best to protect civilians, adheres to the just call for a two-state solution, and makes concrete efforts to truly achieve peace between Palestine and Israel.
In a turbulent world, China and the EU continue to work hard to build more consensus on cooperation. The theme of this year's Munich Security Conference reflects the concerns of Europe and the world about zero-sum games, bloc politics, friction and conflict, and also expresses the hope that the world will return to the track of making the cake bigger and win-win cooperation. China and Spain jointly stressed that strategic mutual trust is a solid cornerstone for the development of China-Spain relations, that openness and cooperation are the endogenous driving force for the development of China-Spain relations, and that maintaining stability in China-EU relations is in the common interests of both sides. China and France will work together to address challenges, avoid confrontation between major powers, prevent bloc confrontation, improve global governance, and support Europe in pursuing strategic autonomy, and support the EU and China in maintaining their partnership and strengthening effective cooperation.
Continuing to promote practical cooperation is an important channel for China and the EU to consolidate and implement the strategic consensus, continuously inject strong impetus into bilateral relations, and further promote multi-level and wide-ranging cooperation at the EU and member states. During Wang Yi's visit to Spain, China and Spain said that they will expand new areas of cooperation such as electric vehicles, green energy, and digital economy, and that China has announced that it will lift restrictions on the export of Spanish beef under the age of 30 months to China, and that a pair of young giant pandas will be shipped to Spain. China and France will take advantage of the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism to continue to make efforts in people-to-people exchange activities, direct flights, and facilitation of people-to-people exchanges, and cooperate in addressing climate change, protecting biodiversity, sustainable development, agricultural and food products, clean energy, nuclear energy research and development, artificial intelligence, aerospace, forest carbon sinks, etc., and actively start the next "60 years" of China-France relations at the major juncture of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
In today's turbulent world, zero-sum games, "decoupling and chain breaking", and bloc confrontation will only fall into the nightmare of "losing more". China and the EU have the ability and reason to exert their strength and wisdom in promoting win-win results, bring more stability to an uncertain world, and benefit both sides and the people of the world.
