BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday that the Chinese side attaches great importance to and welcomes the visit of South Korean President Lee Jae-myung to China.
Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, which took place at the initiative of the South Korean side.
The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, relations between China and the Republic of Korea have overcome a difficult period, returned to the right track, and are demonstrating sustainable positive development momentum. He expressed confidence that, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, President Lee Jae-myung's upcoming visit will contribute to new progress in the China-South Korea strategic cooperation and partnership.
Recalling that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Yi expressed hope that, in the face of attempts by certain political forces in Japan to change the course of history and whitewash the crimes of aggression and colonialism, the ROK will maintain a responsible attitude toward history and its people, take the right stance, and uphold international justice, including maintaining its commitment to the one-China principle on the Taiwan issue.
Cho Hyun, for his part, stated that Lee Je Myung places particular emphasis on cooperation with China and is determined to develop strategic cooperation and partnership between the two countries.
The Republic of Korea is ready to work closely with the Chinese side to ensure the success of President Lee Zhe-meng's visit to China, he emphasized, adding that the country's commitment to the one-China principle remains unchanged. –0–
