CHINA – Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that China’s diplomacy in 2024 had created a sound external environment for China’s high-quality development and injected valuable stability into a volatile world. Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when addressing a symposium on the international situation and China’s foreign relations in 2024.

Over the past year, China’s head-of-state diplomacy has written a magnificent new chapter and led the trend of the times for peace, development and win-win cooperation, Wang said. Noting that this year President Xi Jinping attended the Conference Marking the 70th Anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, and the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), carried out four important overseas trips and attended a series of multilateral summits, Wang said President Xi has had in-depth strategic communication with leaders of other countries and advocated greater solidarity and cooperation among the international community.

President Xi focuses on peace and development, sticks to multilateralism, fairness, justice, openness and cooperation, and encourages the international community to jointly respond to various global challenges, Wang said, adding that it is widely believed that this will have a positive and far-reaching impact on the progress and development of human civilization. “President Xi has also personally carried out friendly work with people around the world through meetings, letters and other forms, laying a solid foundation of public support for the sound development of state-to-state relations,” he added.
