Munich, Germany, February 15, Xinhua — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, called on Norway to play a constructive role in promoting the stable development of China-Europe relations on Saturday.

Wang Yi made the statement during a meeting with Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

China has always viewed relations with Norway from a strategic and long-term perspective, Wang Yi said, adding that China is willing to maintain close communication with Norway at all levels, deepen cooperation in various fields, and maintain the steady momentum of bilateral ties.

Noting that multilateralism was the consensus at this year's Munich Security Conference, Wang Yi said multilateralism should not mean the freedom to act at one's own discretion, nor should multipolarity be dominated by a few major powers. He argued that all parties should adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and uphold the international system based on international law.

To this end, according to Wang Yi, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed an equal and orderly multipolar world, in which “equal” means that all countries, regardless of their size, have the right to participate in world affairs, and “orderly” means that all parties must jointly abide by international law.

Since both China and Norway support multilateralism and free trade, both countries should further strengthen communication and coordination, Wang Yi added.

In turn, E. B. Eide noted that in his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Wang Yi clearly formulated China's proposals for reforming and improving global governance, which are completely consistent with Norway's position.

Norway attaches great importance to its relations with China and hopes for continued strengthening of dialogue and cooperation, said E. B. Eide.

Norway is also ready to work closely with China within multilateral mechanisms such as the World Trade Organization to jointly defend the principles of multilateralism and free trade, he added. –0–

Munich, Germany, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday called on Germany to become a driving force for pragmatic cooperation between China and Europe and a pillar of stability in the strategic relationship between the two sides.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the call during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that the Chancellor's speech on Friday at the opening ceremony of the Munich Security Conference reflects Germany and Europe's aspirations for strategic autonomy, as well as independence and strength. He added that China supports Germany in playing a more active role in this regard.

China and Germany should demonstrate the responsibility of major countries and make new contributions to world peace and development, Wang Yi said.

Noting that China and Germany share extensive common interests and have strong complementary advantages, and that strengthening their cooperation is a strategic choice based on the practical needs of both countries, Wang Yi said that China's high-level commitment to opening up will provide tremendous opportunities for German companies to invest and do business, expressing the hope that Germany will also provide a more fair and equitable business environment for Chinese companies.

F. Merz, in turn, noted China's outstanding achievements in development, recognized throughout the world, and stated that China plays a key role in the international arena.

Germany and China maintain close economic and trade relations, and both countries are beneficiaries and supporters of economic globalization, he said, calling on both sides to seize opportunities, unlock potential, and deepen cooperation. Germany consistently opposes protectionism, advocates for free trade, and encourages German companies to increase investment and cooperation in China, Merz noted.

Germany adheres to the one-China policy and looks forward to close high-level contacts with China, strengthening cooperation in various fields and promoting the further development of German-Chinese relations, he added. –0–

Munich, Germany, February 15, Xinhua — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday that China is willing to work with the Czech Republic to return bilateral relations to a healthy track of development and make up for lost time.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a meeting with Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Petr Macinka at the latter's request on the sidelines of the ongoing Munich Security Conference.

Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Sino-Czech strategic partnership, Wang Yi said that although the two countries have a long tradition of friendship, bilateral ties have undergone major changes in recent years that do not serve the interests of either side.

China appreciates the new Czech government's active commitment to improving relations with China, Wang Yi said, adding that Beijing is willing to jointly strive for an early return to the healthy and stable development of bilateral ties.

Wang Yi expressed hope that the Czech side will form a correct understanding of China, sincerely adhere to the one-China principle and respect the fundamental interests of the PRC.

He called on both sides to promote exchanges at all levels and in various fields, strengthen mutual understanding and trust, and lay a solid foundation for pragmatic cooperation.

P. Macinka called China a world power and said that the Czech Republic values the traditional friendship between the two nations.

Using the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership as an opportunity, the Czech Republic hopes to open a new chapter in bilateral relations, said P. Macinka.

He stressed that the Czech Republic is firmly committed to the one-China policy.

According to him, the Czech Republic recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government representing all of China and respects and supports China in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Czech side hopes to improve relations with China, resume high-level exchanges, and develop cooperation in areas such as economics and trade, tourism, and humanitarian exchanges, he added. –0–

Kyiv, February 15 (Xinhua) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking Saturday at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, stated that the United States, in trilateral negotiations, has too often allowed the topic of concessions to be discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia. This was reported on the Ukrainian president's website.

"But frankly, sometimes it seems like the two sides are talking about completely different things. The Russians often talk about some kind of 'spirit of Anchorage,' and we can only guess what they really mean. The Americans often return to the topic of concessions, and too often these concessions are discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia," Zelenskyy noted.

“We sincerely hope that the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, meaningful and useful for all of us,” he stressed.

In late January and early February of this year, two rounds of security working group talks were held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, with representatives from Russia, the United States, and Ukraine. As Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov announced on February 13, a new meeting of representatives from the three countries will take place on February 17-18 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Minsk, February 15 (Xinhua) — A large-scale celebratory event, "The Blessed Horse Brings Happiness. The Concert 'Merry Spring Festival,'" took place in Minsk. The festive event spanned two days. On Friday, the concert took place at the Republican Palace of Culture of Trade Unions, and on Saturday, at the First National Trading House.

The event became a joint cultural celebration, uniting Chinese and Belarusian traditions. The program included dance, instrumental music, acrobatics, and martial arts, fully showcasing Chinese traditions and culture in their modern dynamics.

This year, numerous artistic groups from China came to Belarus to showcase their outstanding talents on the same stage as the renowned Belarusian State Academic Honored Choreographic Ensemble "Khoroshki."

As Chinese Ambassador to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan noted during the festive event on Friday, the Spring Festival is the most important and revered traditional holiday of the Chinese people.

"Belarus is our dear friend, with whom we share this joy. More than ten years have passed since our first joint celebration of the 'Merry Spring Festival' in Minsk in 2014. What began as a cultural exhibition has grown into a major cultural event," he emphasized.

Belarusian Minister of Culture Ruslan Chernetsky said the celebratory event is a clear demonstration of the strength of the cultural bridges linking Belarus and China. Belarus highly values its long-standing strategic partnership with China, based on the principles of mutual respect, equality, and consideration of mutual interests.

"Our mutually beneficial cooperation is built primarily on trust and friendship between the leaders of our countries. The two countries have built a strong architecture of cooperation, encompassing fruitful collaboration in all key areas," stated R. Chernetsky.

During the two-day festive event, the Beijing delegation organized interactive zones featuring intangible cultural heritage items for guests. Representatives of the Confucius Institute of the Belarusian National Technical University and the Confucius Institute of the Belarusian State University of Physical Education also organized their own workshops dedicated to the Spring Festival.
