Over the past month, China has consistently demonstrated its position as a key player on the global stage. Amid a shifting international landscape, Beijing is forging new partnerships and reinforcing its commitment to global peace and stability.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted the nation's accomplishments during a media briefing on March 7, coinciding with China's Two Sessions domestic political gathering. Wang emphasized China's dedication to both domestic and global development, aiming to establish a community with a shared future.
China has been actively expanding its bilateral relations, notably maintaining a mature and stable China-Russia relationship. Additionally, the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation continues to serve as a cornerstone of China's global communication efforts. Looking ahead, China is set to host the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2025, which Wang Yi described as "a big family of 26 countries" united by common development goals.
In an increasingly unsettled world, China positions itself as a steadfast advocate for peace and stability. Wang Yi asserted that promoting robust free trade, multilateralism, international agreements, and justice should be the choice of all countries. These efforts are aimed at fostering a stable and cooperative international environment.
Wang's remarks align with his optimistic view expressed at the recent Munich Security Conference, where he indicated China's willingness to strengthen strategic communication with the EU and enhance mutual understanding. This comes at a crucial time when Europe's economic, military, and political communities are under significant stress. China's extended hand of friendship is seen as timely and necessary.
While in Germany, Wang also affirmed China's recognition and endorsement of a multipolar world in the twenty-first century. He strongly rejected any efforts at protectionism, highlighting that such measures are in direct conflict with the principles of multi-polarization. Furthermore, Wang assured world leaders of China's unwavering support for the United Nations, underscoring its role in global governance.
