Xi spearheads head-of-state diplomacy: FM
    2018-03-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINESE President Xi Jinping, as the chief architect of China’s major-country diplomacy, has been personally involved in planning and conducting “brilliant” head-of-state diplomacy, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Thursday.

Xi has visited 57 countries and received more than 110 foreign heads of state since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, deepening the world’s understanding of China, enhancing China’s profile and influence, and facilitating solutions to many global problems, Wang said at a press conference on the sidelines of the first session of the 13th National People’s Congress.

“President Xi’s leadership and charisma has earned him and his country many good friends, among foreign leaders who represent a diverse range of cultures and social systems,” he said.

Apart from hosting the four major events in China, Xi will attend the BRICS Summit in South Africa, the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Papua New Guinea and the G20 Summit in Argentina this year, Wang said.

Wang also introduced the main highlights of four events to be held in China this year at a press conference.

First, Boao Forum for Asia annual conference will take place in Hainan this April, and focus on reform and opening-up.

Second, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit will take place in Qingdao this June, and focus on revitalizing the Shanghai Spirit.

Third, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit will take place in Beijing this September, and focus on the Belt and Road Initiative.

Fourth, the First China International Import Expo will take place in Shanghai this November, and focus on further market opening.

When talking about China-U.S. ties, Wang said, “China is on a long march to modernization and it has no need or intention to replace the United States’ international role.”

On trade frictions between the two countries, Wang said that trade war is never the right solution, as it will harm both the initiator as well as the target country in a globalized world.

“In the event of a trade war, China will make a justified and necessary response,” Wang said. “We hope China and the U.S. will have a calm and constructive dialogue as equals, and find a win-win solution.”

“Despite elements of competition, China-U.S. ties are defined more by partnership, not rivalry,” he added.

Wang also said Japan should earnestly implement the political understanding that “China and Japan see each other as partners, not threats.”

China is willing to work with Japan to restore the relationship to healthy and steady growth, as long as Japan “does not prevaricate, flip-flop or backpedal and instead accepts and welcomes China’s development,” Wang said.

As for the China-Russia relationship, Wang told the conference the sky is the limit for bilateral cooperation.

“The China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination is as stable as Mount Tai,” Wang said. “There is always room to make the relationship even better.”

Besides, Wang said China has strong resolve and deep commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea.

According to Wang, China will work with ASEAN countries to seize the opportunity, broaden cooperation, prevent interference, and overcome challenges in the year ahead.
