Chinese FM meets president of Eurasia Group

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, in Beijing on Friday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that as the world's two largest economies and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and the United States should shoulder the responsibilities of and play the role of major countries.

China and the United States working together to meet global challenges and achieve win-win results serves the interests of the two peoples and meets the common expectations of the rest of the world, Wang noted.

China will respond to all uncertainties in today's world with its own certainty, continue to hold the international moral high ground, and make efforts for the overall progress and development of mankind.

Wang expressed the hope that the U.S. side will earnestly implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, establish an objective and rational understanding of China, change the mindset of zero-sum game, and work together with China to continue to explore the right way for the two major countries to get along with each other on this planet.

"I hope the U.S. can meet China halfway, embrace a more objective and rational perception of China, change the zero-sum game mindset, and work with China to continue actively exploring the correct way for the two major powers to coexist on this planet," said Wang.

The Eurasia Group welcomes the relationship between the two countries showing signs of stabilization through bilateral efforts, Bremmer said, adding that the company is willing to continue offering suggestions and proposals for the long-term peaceful coexistence between the United States and China, and hopes that the two major countries will work together to maintain a stable international order.

"I believe personally, that the work you have put in, and the work that my friend Jake Sullivan has put in to the relationship between the U.S. and China, the most important bilateral relationship in the world, has been really appreciated. It's really meaningful. And we are in materially a better place now," said Bremmer.

China is willing to continue working with Russia within the framework of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, maintain timely communication on major issues, and make joint efforts to help de-escalate the situation in the Middle East, safeguard regional peace and stability, and uphold common security for the world, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks in a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

China and Russia, as permanent members of the UN Security Council, should uphold fairness and justice on matters of principle, adopt an objective and balanced approach, and seek greater understanding and support from the international community, Wang said.

Noting that China has consistently advocated the resolution of international and regional hotspot issues through dialogue and negotiation, Wang said that the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate, hostilities are still escalating, and the fundamental solution to ensuring navigation through the Strait of Hormuz lies in achieving an early ceasefire and bringing the war to an end.

For his part, Lavrov said Russia is highly concerned about the continued escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

Regarding the ongoing conflict and the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, Lavrov said Russia maintains that military operations must be stopped immediately and efforts should return to the track of political and diplomatic settlement to address the root causes of the conflict, and the UN Security Council should play a constructive role in this regard.

Russia stands ready to maintain close communication and coordination with China and continue to make efforts and speak out in support of a ceasefire and the end of the war, he said.
