Munich, Germany, February 17 (Xinhua) -- On February 17, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and head of the Communist Party of China, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a keynote speech at the "China Session", emphasizing that China is willing to be a stabilizing force in dealing with hot issues.
Wang Yi said that we strive to explore solutions to hotspot issues with Chinese characteristics, adhere to non-interference in internal affairs, and oppose imposition on others. adhere to objectivity and fairness, and oppose the pursuit of personal gain; uphold a political solution and oppose the use of force; Persist in treating both the symptoms and the root causes, and oppose short-sightedness and one-sidedness. Under the active mediation of the Chinese side, Saudi Arabia and Iran have achieved a historic reconciliation, and the Middle East has set off a "wave of reconciliation", which has become a vivid practice of the Global Security Initiative advocated by President China.
The recent escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the continued tension in the Red Sea have once again demonstrated that the Palestinian issue has always been the core of the Middle East issue. Generations of Palestinian people have been displaced and have not yet achieved a legitimate statehood, which is the longest-lasting injustice of our time. China stands firmly on the side of fairness and justice, campaigns for a ceasefire and stops violence, and does its best to protect civilians. We will push the Security Council to adopt the first resolution since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and issue a position paper on the political settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. China calls for speeding up the realization of an independent Palestinian state, convening a larger-scale and more effective international peace conference, and truly realizing the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel.
In the Ukraine crisis, China has never given up its efforts to promote peace and has never stopped promoting talks. ** The President has personally communicated with the leaders of various countries, including Russia and Ukraine, and played a constructive role in responding to the crisis. The Chinese side has also issued a special position paper and sent special envoys to mediate on several occasions. Everything we do leads to one goal, which is to end the war, build consensus, and pave the way for peace talks.
We are committed to promoting a political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue, and the top priority at the moment is to prevent a vicious circle, address the legitimate security concerns of the parties concerned, and bring the situation to a cool-down and stable level. We urge all parties in Myanmar to sign a ceasefire agreement in Kunming, China, resolutely safeguard peace and stability in northern Myanmar, and encourage ASEAN to promote a proper settlement of the Myanmar issue on the premise of non-interference in internal affairs. We also actively support inclusive and moderate governance in Afghanistan to prevent the recurrence of terrorism.
China has a vast territory and many neighboring countries, and the contradictions and disputes left over from history are intricately intertwined. We have always adhered to the principle of managing differences through consultation and resolving disputes through dialogue. We are ready to work with ASEAN to accelerate consultations on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, advance maritime cooperation and joint development, and build the South China Sea into a sea of peace, cooperation and friendship.
