[What message did Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to four European and Asian countries convey to the European side? Ministry of Foreign Affairs Response] On October 20, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Foreign Minister Wang Yi has just concluded his visit to four European and Asian countries. Can the spokesperson introduce the relevant situation of this visit? At present, China-EU economic and trade frictions have attracted much attention. What message has China sent to the EU through this visit? Mao Ning introduced that from October 14 to 20, Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the seventh summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia as President Xi Jinping’s special representative, and visited Azerbaijan, Croatia, Montenegro and Bulgaria. The most important message conveyed by Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit is that trust is the cornerstone of peace, friendship is precious wealth, cooperation is a solid driving force, and partnership is a common goal. Mao Ning further said that Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out that China's foreign policy is "partnership rather than alliance, dialogue rather than confrontation." The three levels of national relations, regional cooperation and China-EU relations run in parallel and reinforce each other. The core is to be partners.
China-EU relations are generally healthy and stable. Differences on economic and trade issues arise from the continuous development of cooperation between the two sides and can be resolved through dialogue and should not affect the overall situation of China-EU relations. Mao Ning emphasized that China and the EU have extensive common interests, both advocate multilateralism, adhere to the core leading role of the United Nations, and are willing to resolve international and regional disputes through dialogue and politics. China and Europe should respect each other, appreciate each other, achieve together, and shoulder the international responsibility for world peace and development. (The Paper)
