KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Russia to continuously raise the level of China-Russia strategic cooperation to protect the security and development interests of both countries, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The Chinese diplomat noted that the heads of the two states maintain strategic communication, guiding the sustainable and long-term development of Chinese-Russian relations in the context of changes unseen in a century.

Last month, Wang Yi recalled, the two heads of state held a telephone conversation and loudly voiced China and Russia's positions on regional and international hot spot issues.

Noting that China and Russia are important dialogue partners of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Wang Yi stressed that the two countries should strengthen strategic coordination on the platform of East Asia cooperation, uphold an open and inclusive regional cooperation architecture with ASEAN at the center, adhere to the correct development vector of the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum, and promote further consensus-building on development within the framework of the East Asia cooperation mechanism, making it an important engine and positive force for global development.

S. Lavrov, for his part, stated that under the strategic leadership of the heads of the two states, Russia and China maintain close coordination and cooperation, demonstrating the global and strategic significance of bilateral relations. According to him, this is especially important in the current conditions.

Both countries support ASEAN's central role in regional cooperation and are committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, Lavrov continued, stressing that Russia and China should remain vigilant against attempts by some major powers to sow discord and provoke confrontation in the region.

He assured that Russia will fully support China's chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and is ready to jointly plan further high-level exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and strengthen communication and interaction in a format such as BRICS.

The parties also exchanged views on the Iranian nuclear issue. S. Lavrov outlined in detail Russia's position and considerations on this issue.

Wang Yi stressed that force does not bring peace, pressure does not solve problems, and only negotiations and dialogue are the only right path. According to the diplomat, China appreciates Iran's commitment not to seek to develop nuclear weapons and respects its legitimate right as a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

As permanent members of the UN Security Council and important participants in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program, China and Russia should further strengthen strategic coordination, advance the political and diplomatic settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, jointly uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and promote an early achievement of peace and stability in the Middle East, Wang Yi said.

In addition, the parties exchanged views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and other international and regional hot spot issues of mutual interest. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Xinhua) — China is willing to always be a reliable and good friend, neighbor and partner of Bangladesh, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Thursday during a meeting with Bangladesh interim foreign minister Touhid Hossain in Kuala Lumpur.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, said China has always been committed to advancing strategic cooperation with Bangladesh based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and pursuing a policy of good-neighborliness and friendship toward all the Bangladeshi people.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Bangladesh, which is of great significance to both countries, Wang said, adding that China supports Bangladesh's interim government, the stable and successful holding of the general election in the country, and its pursuit of a development path suited to its national conditions.

As the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized, Chinese-Bangladesh cooperation is mutually beneficial, and China has introduced a zero customs tariff on all Bangladeshi products, creating opportunities for the development of this country. At the same time, Wang Yi continued, the United States has imposed 35 percent duties on products from Bangladesh, which is classified as one of the least developed countries. The Chinese diplomat described this move as unreasonable and at the same time immoral.

China is firmly committed to building a regional community with a shared future, Wang Yi assured. He pointed out that as the largest neighbor of South Asian countries, China is willing to work with Bangladesh and other South Asian countries to achieve modernization and make common contributions to Asia's development and rise.

Recalling that the trilateral meeting at the level of deputy foreign ministers of China, Bangladesh and Pakistan was successfully held in the Chinese city of Kunming, Wang Yi expressed hope that joint efforts with Bangladesh and Pakistan would be made to actively promote trilateral cooperation and achieve tangible results.

T. Hossain, for his part, noted that China is a reliable partner and a true friend of Bangladesh, and the development of friendly and cooperative relations with China reflects the consensus of the entire Bangladeshi people.

T. Hossain expressed gratitude to China for its selfless development assistance to Bangladesh over the years. He said Bangladesh firmly adheres to the one-China principle and is willing to learn from China's experience in governance, expand friendly cooperation in areas such as economy, trade and health, enhance regional multilateral coordination and cooperation, and use the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries as an opportunity to take Bangladesh-China relations to a new level. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Xinhua) — China and Japan can jointly advance strategic and mutually beneficial China-Japan relations and strive to build constructive and stable bilateral ties that meet the requirements of the new era, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya.

Noting that China and Japan are important neighbors, Wang Yi noted that the significance of their interstate relations goes far beyond bilateral relations.

As the Chinese diplomat recalled, this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and this is an important opportunity to soberly assess history and pave the way for the future.

China hopes that Japan will learn profound lessons from history and adhere to the path of peaceful development, Wang continued, adding that on this basis, bilateral relations can inject greater certainty and new impetus into the development of the region and the world as a whole.

The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that China's policy towards Japan always maintains stability and continuity. He expressed hope that the Japanese side will form an objective and correct perception of China and adhere to a positive and rational policy towards China.

Wang Yi recalled that the four Sino-Japanese political documents contain clear provisions on the Taiwan issue. Japan must strictly abide by them, ensure that words correspond to deeds, and maintain the political basis of interstate relations, the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Takeshi Iwaya, for his part, noted that recently a number of positive results have been achieved in relations between Japan and China, which demonstrated the proper state of bilateral ties. The two countries, the head of the Japanese Foreign Ministry pointed out, need to further strengthen communication, reduce differences, expand cooperation and promote the stable development of strategic and mutually beneficial Japanese-Chinese relations.

Speaking about the Taiwan issue, Takeshi Iwaya assured that Japan has not changed its position set out in the 1972 Japan-China Joint Statement.

Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Takeshi Iwaya said Japan intends to take history seriously, look to the future and continue on the path of peaceful development.

He added that Japan looks forward to working with China to strengthen exchanges at all levels and advance cooperation in various fields. –0–
