In a timely phone call bridging Asia and Europe on Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding the post-World War II international order.
Wang Yi highlighted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War victory and of the founding of the United Nations. He said China stands ready to maintain high-level exchanges with Poland and expand cooperation across trade, technology, and cultural channels to uphold the UN's core position and strengthen international law.
As part of the post-war framework, Wang Yi reiterated that the return of Taiwan to China is a victorious outcome of World War II. He expressed hope that Poland will continue to adhere to the one-China policy and oppose any form of Taiwan independence.
This year also marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. Wang Yi urged Poland to play a constructive role in driving forward China-EU ties and deepening mutually beneficial collaboration on economic and regional issues.
On the Ukraine crisis, both ministers underscored the importance of political dialogue. Wang Yi noted China’s commitment to peace talks through its Friends of Peace group with Global South members. Sikorski welcomed China’s efforts and expressed hope that Beijing will stay active in promoting a fair and lasting peace in Europe.
The conversation signals a broader push by both countries to bridge continents and champion diplomatic solutions in an era of shifting geopolitical challenges. For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, it serves as a reminder that upholding shared values and open dialogue remains key to shaping a stable world order.
