BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 14. To safeguard
international collaboration and cooperation, it is important to
seek common ground, Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Wang Yi
said at the Munich Security Conference, Trend reports.
“To safeguard international collaboration and cooperation, it is
important to seek common ground while shelving differences and
pursuing win-win cooperation. The world is a diverse place. It is
only natural that countries differ in social systems, history,
culture, interests and demand. And it is precisely the differences
that necessitate dialogue and cooperation”, he said.
Wang Yi noted that there is no reason why countries cannot
respect each other and contribute to each other's success.
“A review of history shows from the victory of the world
anti-fascist war to overcoming the global financial crisis, from
the global climate response to fighting terrorism, none of such
progress would have been possible without countries coming together
for sincere cooperation despite their differences”, he said
According to the minister, in reforming and improving global
governance, multilateralism should be always upheld.
“We live in a multipolar world and need to practice true
multilateralism There needs to be greater democracy in
international relations. Global affairs should be discussed by all,
and the future of the world should be decided by all. We need to
make sure that all countries abide by the same set of rules, i.e. ,
the basic norms governing international relations underpinned by
the purposes and principles of the UN Charter”, he said
