China is willing to be a stabilizer to promote cooperation among major countries, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Saturday during the “China in the World” session at the ongoing 60th Munich Security Conference.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that major countries bear the key responsibility for global strategic stability.
Major-country competition is not the prevailing trend of current times, Wang quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping as saying.
The more turbulent the international situation is, the more major countries should enhance coordination; The more conspicuous the risks and challenges are, the more major countries should promote cooperation, Wang noted.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the China-U.S. diplomatic relations, Wang said, adding that history has proven that cooperation between China and the United States benefits the two sides and the whole world, while confrontation between China and the United States makes the two sides and the whole world suffer.
China will firmly safeguard the lawful rights and interests and oppose unreasonable containment and suppression, he added.
