China always opposes the use or threat of force, as well as any imposition of one country's will on another, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday when speaking of the situation in Venezuela.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks when holding the Seventh Round of China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers' Strategic Dialogue with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Beijing.
Wang said the current international situation is more volatile and intertwined, with unilateral bullying becoming increasingly severe.
The sudden change of situation in Venezuela has drawn high attention from the international community, Wang said.
"We never believe that any country can play the role of world police, nor do we agree that any country can claim itself to be an international judge. The sovereignty and security of all countries should be fully protected by international law," Wang said.
"China is willing to work with the rest of the international community, including Pakistan, to firmly uphold the United Nations Charter, maintain the bottom line of international morality, adhere to the equality of all countries' sovereignty, jointly safeguard world peace and development, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity," he said.
