BEIJING, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with regional countries to build a maritime community with a shared future in the South China Sea, according to a report titled "Building the South China Sea into a Sea of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation: China's Actions" released Thursday by the Xinhua Institute, a think tank under the Xinhua News Agency.
As the document notes, China and other coastal countries not only share immediate interests in peace and development and common aspirations for a better future, but also draw strength from a common historical civilization, the report notes.
The report calls on countries in the region to recognize the importance of building a maritime community with a shared future in the South China Sea and turning the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation through dialogue, economic integration and multilateral cooperation.
Coastal countries should strengthen strategic communications and support each other on issues related to core interests and important concerns to strengthen their shared commitment to regional peace, stability, development and prosperity, the report stressed.
This report is part of a three-part series on the South China Sea published by Xinhua Institute. The other two reports are titled “Incitement, Threats and Lies – The Truth about External Interference in the South China Sea Issue” and “Historical and Legal Basis for China’s Territorial Sovereignty and Maritime Rights in the South China Sea.” -0-
