Tehran, March 8 (Xinhua) — Iranians will not allow "enemies" to seize even an inch of their territory. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated this during a meeting with Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi in Tehran on Sunday, outlining the country's position on ongoing attacks by the US and Israel, according to the official Iranian news agency.

Referring to his remarks on Saturday in which he apologized to neighboring countries and said attacks on them would stop, M. Pezeshkian said "enemies" had misinterpreted his comments and were seeking to sow discord between Iran and its neighbors.

He noted that Iran has repeatedly emphasized its "good and brotherly" relations with neighboring countries, adding that if the US or Israel use other countries' territories to attack Iran, Tehran will inevitably respond. However, such a response does not mean Iran has any disputes with these countries or their peoples.

“We are concerned about the fate of our dear peoples who have suffered from regional tensions, and we offer them our apologies,” he said.

M. Pezeshkian added that despite the current challenges the country faces, Iranians will stand against their enemies and “will not allow them to seize even an inch of our country’s land.”

On the morning of February 28, the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on the Iranian capital and several other cities, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, several members of his family, as well as senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel and American bases in the region.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 (Xinhua) — The ongoing search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in a new zone in the southern Indian Ocean has not yet resulted in the aircraft being located, Malaysia's Transport Ministry announced on Sunday.

“In total, 28 operational search days were conducted within both phases following the signing of the agreement, resulting in the survey of approximately 7,571 square kilometers of seabed within the designated search area,” the statement said.

Boeing 777 flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014. There were 239 people on board the plane. –0–

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-
