[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Palau has repeatedly hyped missile test launches with sinister intentions] September 3rd, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference on September 3rd. A Reuters reporter asked: The president of Palau, the host country of the 55th Pacific Islands Forum, said today that he hopes member states will reach a consensus to condemn China's missile tests in the region. What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' response to this? Guo Jiakun said that regarding the test-launch activities, China has stated its position many times, and Palau has repeatedly hyped it up in an attempt to kidnap the positions of other Pacific Islands Forum member states. It has sinister intentions and its plot will not succeed. Guo Jiakun said that China adheres to the path of peaceful development, firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy, and has never engaged in military expansion. We are willing to work with South Pacific countries to contribute to maintaining peace, stability, development and prosperity in the South Pacific region. (The Paper)
