Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has used his annual meeting with the Beijing press corps to set out a comprehensive overview regarding his country’s foreign policy and external relations. His March 8 press conference was held on the sidelines of China’s annual parliamentary ‘two sessions’ of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Wang, who is also a Political Bureau member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, fielded over 20 questions posed by both the Chinese and foreign media and the press conference lasted for 80 minutes.

Among the important points made by Wang were:

China and Russia share a high degree of political mutual trust. Working back-to-back lies at the heart of this relationship… China and Russia act in close coordination.

The relationship between China and the United States is one of far-reaching and global implications. Turning our backs on each other would only lead to mutual misperception and miscalculation. Sliding into conflict or confrontation could bring disaster to the world. China and the US are both big countries. Neither side can remodel the other, but we can choose how we want to engage, that is, to commit to a spirit of mutual respect, to hold the bottom line of peaceful coexistence, and to strive for the prospect of win-win cooperation. That’s what serves the interests of Chinese and American peoples, and that’s also the expectation of the international community.

China has a clear stance on developing relations with Europe. We consistently believe that Europe should naturally be a pole in a multipolar world, that Europe is an important force underpinning the stability of the international order, and that Europe is a key partner for China in our modernisation.

Old scripts from the 19th century shouldn’t be acted out on the international stage of the 21st. The resources of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) belong to the people there, the path of LAC countries should be chosen by their people, and the choice of friends is a decision for LAC countries alone.  Continue reading Chinese Foreign Minister meets the press
