In a significant development, Guo Jiakun, born in 1980, has stepped into the role of the 35th spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. His debut at the first press conference in Beijing on Monday marks a new chapter in China's diplomatic communications.
Since the establishment of its spokesperson system in 1983, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has been at the forefront of international dialogue, pioneering this approach among government departments in China. Over the past 42 years, the system has evolved to become more systematic, standardized, and efficient, adapting to the dynamic landscape of global relations.
Guo Jiakun inherits a legacy of consistent daily press conferences, a unique practice that underscores the Foreign Ministry's commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and dignity. These regular engagements not only enhance the global understanding of China's diplomatic efforts but also foster friendly cooperation between China and other nations.
Under Guo's leadership, the Foreign Ministry continues to align its spokesperson system with China's deepening reforms and opening-up policies. This alignment ensures that China's international relations evolve in tandem with global trends, meeting the growing need for mutual understanding and collaboration on the world stage.
