Gyeongju, Republic of Korea, November 1, Xinhua — China is ready to work with the Republic of Korea to advance the sustainable and long-term development of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Saturday.

As Xi Jinping noted during talks with South Korean President Lee Zhe-meng, China and South Korea are important neighbors that cannot be separated and inseparable partners in cooperation.

According to the Chinese President, since the establishment of diplomatic relations 33 years ago, the two countries have overcome differences in social systems and ideologies, actively promoted exchanges and cooperation in all areas, achieving mutual success and common prosperity.

Facts have proven that promoting the healthy and stable development of China-South Korea relations is always the right choice, which is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meets the demands of the times, Xi Jinping noted.

China values its relations with the Republic of Korea and maintains consistency and stability in its policy towards this country, the Chinese leader stated.

China is willing to strengthen communication with the ROK, deepen cooperation, expand common interests, jointly address challenges, promote the sustainable and long-term development of the China-ROK strategic cooperative partnership, and inject more positive energy into peace and development in the region.

Xi Jinping put forward a four-point proposal to open up new prospects for China-South Korea relations.

First, the Chinese President called on the parties to strengthen strategic communication and consolidate the foundations of mutual trust.

Noting that the two sides should take a long-term view of bilateral relations, Xi called on China and the ROK to pursue common development based on mutual respect and carry out win-win cooperation, while pursuing common ground while maintaining differences.

He added that both countries should respect each other's social systems and development paths, take into account each other's fundamental interests and major concerns, and properly resolve contradictions and differences through friendly consultations.

The Chinese leader proposed effectively using channels of dialogue and exchange mechanisms between the two countries to combine forces to develop interstate relations.

Secondly, Xi Jinping called on the two sides to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and strengthen ties of interest.

Pointing out that helping a neighbor succeed is like helping oneself, the Chinese President stated that China is willing to work with the ROK to uphold the principle of mutual benefit and win-win, accelerate the second phase of negotiations on the China-ROK free trade agreement, and unlock the potential for cooperation in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals, green industries, and the "silver economy" (economic activity related to the needs and interests of the elderly), so as to promote the improvement and renewal of trade and economic cooperation.

The two sides attach great importance to combating online gaming and telecommunications fraud, the Chinese leader continued, adding that China and the Republic of Korea can establish cooperation at the bilateral and regional levels to better protect the security of the two countries' peoples and their property.

Third, Xi Jinping called for strengthening friendship between the peoples of the two countries and bringing their hearts closer together.

According to the Chinese President, China and the Republic of Korea should strengthen their management of public opinion and public sentiment, more fully disseminate positive information, curb negative trends, establish healthy and beneficial cultural and humanitarian exchanges, strengthen mutual understanding, and consolidate the social foundation of bilateral relations.

They should facilitate people-to-people contacts and encourage broader exchanges between young people, media outlets, think tanks and regions, so as to promote mutual rapprochement between the peoples of the two countries and create a favorable atmosphere for the healthy and stable development of bilateral ties, Xi added.

Fourth, the Chinese leader called on both countries to strengthen multilateral cooperation and jointly promote peace and development.

The Chinese President said that China congratulates the Republic of Korea on successfully hosting the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, adding that as China assumes the role of hosting APEC events, it stands ready to jointly advance the process of establishing a free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region and regional economic integration with all parties to build an Asia-Pacific community.

The Chinese leader pointed out that the two countries should jointly adhere to genuine multilateralism, safeguard the multilateral trading system, and push the development of global governance in a more equitable and reasonable direction.

Xi Jinping emphasized that the Proposals for Developing the 15th Five-Year Plan were reviewed and adopted at the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

According to the Chinese President, the Chinese economy boasts a solid foundation, numerous advantages, strong resilience, and great potential, while the supporting conditions and underlying trend of its long-term growth remain unchanged. China will steadily expand high-level opening-up and share development opportunities with countries around the world, Xi Jinping added.

Li Zhe Meng, for his part, said that he warmly welcomed President Xi Jinping during his first state visit to the Republic of Korea in 11 years, emphasizing the great significance of this trip for interstate relations.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Kazakhstan and China have continuously deepened mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas, which has significantly contributed to the economic development of both countries, the President stated.

Lee Je-myung noted that the two countries are neighbors and, more importantly, inseparable partners. South Korea places particular emphasis on relations with China and is ready to work with China to further develop friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries, the president added.

He said the two sides should strengthen high-level exchanges, strengthen contacts between political parties and regions, and properly resolve differences.

Li Zhe Meng stated that China's 15th Five-Year Plan outlines the directions and priorities for the country's economic development over the next five years, adding that the Republic of Korea is ready to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with China, maintain the stability of industrial and supply chains, and bring greater benefits to the peoples of both countries.

Kazakhstan is ready to intensify cultural and humanitarian exchanges with China to strengthen ties between the peoples of the two countries, he noted.

Kazakhstan supports China in holding the 2026 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with China in international and regional affairs to jointly promote regional and global peace and development, he added.

Before the talks, Lee Zhe-men held a welcoming ceremony in honor of Xi Jinping, who, accompanied by the President of the Republic of Korea, inspected the guard of honor.

Following the talks, the two heads of state jointly attended the exchange of documents on cooperation in the areas of economics and trade, finance, agriculture, law enforcement, science and technology.

Moscow, November 1 (Xinhua) — The rise of protectionism globally can be countered by a new model of economic cooperation. The five-point initiative announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the informal APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting essentially calls on countries in the region to join efforts to advance a new type of globalization. This is how Russian experts interviewed by Xinhua commented on the informal meeting of APEC economic leaders in Gyeongju, South Korea.

"Protectionism has gained momentum globally. Today, the only countermeasure to protectionism is a new model of economic cooperation. And China supports the development of this new mechanism, this new model of cooperation," said Vasily Koltashov, Russian economist and director of the Institute for the New Society.

According to him, this mechanism relies on economic growth and the development of mutually beneficial cooperation, free from various restrictions, facilitating the formation of new connections, new supply chains, and new mutually favorable regimes, now known as free trade agreements. "This process is currently underway in countries of the East and the Global South," noted V. Koltashov.

"Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech at the informal meeting of APEC economic leaders, in which he put forward a five-point initiative, essentially constitutes a call for countries in the region to join efforts to promote a new type of globalization," said Andrei Ostrovsky, chief researcher at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"China has been a key driver of global economic growth for many years. Over the past four years, despite all the challenges, China has managed to maintain GDP growth at around 5.5 percent. This is a very good indicator," he noted.

The next five-year period is a crucial stage in China's modernization, the Russian expert believes. China's reforms will deepen during this period through accelerated scientific and technological progress, innovation, digitalization, the development of artificial intelligence, and robotics. Innovative potential has become a powerful driver of economic growth.

APEC's share of China's foreign trade is growing, and China's total foreign trade volume exceeds $6 trillion, A. Ostrovsky noted. China will increase its foreign trade volume, primarily through the Asia-Pacific region. This is why China calls for ensuring the stability and continuity of global production and supply chains in the APEC region, developing mutually beneficial regional economic integration, and advancing the creation of a free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region.

"President Xi Jinping raised important issues and outlined priorities at the informal APEC Leaders' Meeting. I believe these Chinese initiatives will be discussed and likely formalized in one way or another at the next informal APEC Leaders' Meeting next year, which will be held in China," concluded A. Ostrovsky.
