BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that China-South Korea relations should not be affected by external factors, calling for joint efforts to promote the development of bilateral ties.

He made this statement at a press conference, commenting at the request of media representatives on the words of South Korean President Lee Jae-myung that South Korea should not continue the policy of “security relying on the United States and the economy relying on China.”

Guo Jiakun noted that healthy, stable and deepening China-ROK relations serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and are beneficial to peace, stability, development and prosperity in the region and the world. "This is the common consensus of the two countries," he stressed.

The parties are developing their relations based on common interests, which are not directed against third countries and should not be influenced by third-party factors, the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

“China’s policy towards the ROK remains consistent and stable. We hope that the ROK will work together with China to jointly promote the sustainable, healthy and stable development of bilateral strategic cooperation and partnership,” he concluded. -0-
