Beijing, March 8 (Xinhua) — Peace, cooperation, and friendship should become the new narrative in the South China Sea region, and any provocations and manipulations are futile, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

The South China Sea is the busiest, safest, and most free-roaming maritime area in the world. Cooperation in the South China Sea has maintained a dynamic trend over the past year, Wang Yi noted at a press conference during the ongoing Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC).

“While we continue to effectively implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, the negotiation process for the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea has already entered a key phase,” Wang Yi said, noting that all interested parties expect it to be completed this year.

“We also hope that as the ASEAN Chair this year, the Philippines will recognize its responsibilities, resist the temptation of selfish interests, demonstrate a sense of duty, and play a positive role in ensuring peace and stability in the region,” Wang Yi concluded. -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — The key to the stable and successful development of China-EU relations is for Europe to develop a correct perception of China, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Since last year, relations between China and European countries have been gaining momentum again, Wang Yi said, adding that the total bilateral trade volume has exceeded US$1 trillion and more than 2 million European tourists have arrived in China using the visa-free regime.

European leaders have also made successive visits to China, and a number of new cooperation agreements have been reached, Wang Yi said at a press conference during the ongoing 4th session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC).

Facts have shown that the stability of Chinese-European relations is due to the presence of common interests, and their certainty is based on mutual benefit, he added.

According to the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, China has consistently believed that Europe is an important force maintaining the stability of the international order and a key partner in China's modernization.

Noting that the essence of Chinese-European trade and economic relations lies in the complementarity of advantages, Wang Yi said: “The interdependence of China and Europe does not bring risks, the intertwining of interests does not pose a threat, openness and cooperation do not undermine economic security, and the erection of barriers only leads to self-isolation.” -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — Diplomatic work will tirelessly drive China's high-level opening-up and create a more favorable international environment for China's modernization, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.

China will continue to promote high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, maintain the stability and smoothness of industrial and supply chains, and provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises to enter overseas markets, Wang Yi said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC).

China will continue to expand the "fast lane" for mutual travel, Wang Yi said, adding that China currently unilaterally provides visa-free entry to citizens of 50 countries and has introduced reciprocal visa-free travel with 29 countries.

According to him, last year 73 percent of foreign tourists came to China without a visa.

China will continue to improve its cross-border travel policy, further promote the benefits of the visa-free regime, and improve all related services, Wang Yi noted. -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — The friendship between China and Africa has withstood the test of international turbulence, demonstrating strong resilience, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.

For the 36th consecutive year, China's Foreign Minister has begun his yearly overseas visit with a visit to Africa. Despite the turbulent international situation, this good tradition has remained unbroken and has become the spirit and foundation of Chinese diplomacy, Wang Yi noted at a press conference during the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.

"It can be said that China-Africa friendship is nourished by the souls and hearts of people of different generations, becoming the quintessence of their hard work," Wang Yi said.

Noting new steps in building a China-Africa community with a shared future, Wang Yi said that China will host leaders from a number of African countries this year, strengthening mutual support between the all-weather partners and opening new chapters in the annals of shared destiny.

Starting May 1 of this year, China will introduce zero tariffs on 100 percent of imported goods from African countries. "We will use tariff subtraction to promote trade 'addition' and 'multiplication' of people's well-being, opening up new opportunities for Africa from China's vast market," Wang Yi stated.

The year of China-Africa people-to-people and cultural exchanges has officially begun, with nearly 600 events scheduled to be held this year, he said, adding that China is willing to work together with the brotherly African people to deepen mutual enrichment between different civilizations, enhance mutual understanding between peoples, and ensure that China-Africa friendship is passed down from generation to generation. -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is like a beacon illuminating the path forward for humanity, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.

Wang Yi made this statement at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC).

Looking back at history, no matter what difficulties the world has faced, there have always been pioneers striving for ideals and a bright future, he noted, noting that people around the world are increasingly recognizing the truth and value of this concept.

“The enemy of humanity is not itself, but war, conflict, poverty, hunger, and injustice,” Wang Yi pointed out. “Overcoming these challenges alone is impossible.”

Building a community with a shared future for humanity is not so much a beautiful vision as a historical process that requires continuous, collaborative efforts from generation to generation, the Foreign Minister said.

According to him, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the rise of a large country with a population of 1.4 billion people can in no way be achieved in the old way, when major powers competed for supremacy and territory.

“On the contrary, we will firmly follow the path of peaceful development, and we encourage other countries to follow the same path,” Wang Yi said. -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday that building a system to ensure the safety of all compatriots abroad is the unremitting pursuit of Chinese diplomats in the new era.

Last year, China resolutely protected the legitimate and lawful interests of Chinese enterprises operating overseas and called on host governments to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and projects, Wang Yi said at a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.

He added that China also resolutely opposed the unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises and helped them strengthen their ability to prevent risks and protect their own interests through legal means.

China will continue to put the people's interests first, further strengthen its ability to ensure the security of all compatriots overseas, and build a global security risk prevention system, Wang Yi said. -0-

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) — Head of state diplomacy is the anchor of Chinese diplomacy, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Chinese diplomacy, which is personally planned and implemented by President Xi Jinping, plays a very stabilizing and decisive role in a turbulent world, Wang Yi noted at a press conference on the sidelines of the 4th session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.

A series of excellent initiatives and visions by President Xi Jinping, with his characteristic outstanding strategic insight and magnanimity, have pointed the right path at the crossroads of the world's destiny, the minister said.

This year, President Xi Jinping will receive guests from all over the world, hold a series of important diplomatic events, including the informal Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting and the second China-Arab States Summit, and make several important overseas visits. This will certainly contribute to the positive dynamics of China-world relations, take the work of building a community with a shared future for mankind to a new level, and serve as a new contribution of the Chinese people to international peace and development, Wang Yi said. -0-
