Munich, Germany, February 17 (Xinhua) -- On February 17, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau 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 to promote cooperation among major countries.
Wang Yi said that major countries bear key responsibilities for global strategic stability. ** The Chair made it clear that great power competition was not the background of this era. The more turbulent the international situation, the more important it is for major countries to strengthen coordination; The more prominent the risks and challenges, the more important it is for major countries to enhance cooperation.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Historical lessons and lessons show that Sino-US cooperation can accomplish major events that benefit the two countries and the world, and that Sino-US confrontation will bring disaster to both countries and the world. The two heads of state held an important meeting at the end of last year to forge a "vision of San Francisco" for the future. China will firmly safeguard its legitimate and lawful rights and interests, oppose unreasonable containment and suppression, and work with the US to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state in a responsible attitude towards history, the people and the world, so as to advance China-US relations along the right track of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
Russia is China's largest neighbor, and the stable development of China-Russia relations on the basis of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of any third party conforms to the common interests of both sides, is conducive to strategic stability in the Asia-Pacific region and the world, and has also made useful explorations for a new type of major-country relations.
As the world's two major powers, two major markets and two major civilizations, China and the EU should be aware of the international responsibilities of both sides. A more stable and closer China-EU relationship will not only work for each other, but also for the world. We should eliminate geopolitical and ideological interference, adhere to the position of partners rather than adversaries, and work together to inject positive energy into the response to the chaos and provide a new direction for overcoming difficulties together.
