Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi Answers Questions from Domestic and Overseas Journalists on China's Foreign Policy and External Relations
2011/03/07
The Fourth Session of the Eleventh National People's Congress held a press conference in the Great Hall of the People on the morning of 7 March 2011. Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi answered questions from Chinese and foreign press on China's foreign policy and external relations.
Foreign Minister Yang: Friends from the press, good morning. It's a great pleasure to meet you here today. In his Report on the Work of the Government, Premier Wen Jiabao outlined China's foreign policy and external relations. Now I'm ready to answer your questions.
Xinhua News Agency: The year 2010 witnessed shifting dynamics in the international situation. China's diplomacy attracted wide attention. What do you think were the features of the international situation and China's diplomacy last year? Can you tell us the main items on China's diplomatic agenda for this year, which is the first year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period? How do you envisage China's diplomacy in the next five or even ten years?
Foreign Minister Yang: Change and cooperation were the two salient features in the international situation in 2010. After the international financial crisis, the world economy struggled to recover, our world continued to undergo major changes, major adjustments and major developments. Steady progress was made in the reform of the world economic governance structure. There was a rapid rise of emerging economies and there was greater balance of international power. The international security situation was on the whole stable. However, at the same time, destabilizing factors and uncertainties increased. In spite of some differences and disagreements between countries over issues of one kind or another, countries have become more interconnected and interdependent. It has become the consensus of more and more countries to promote development through cooperation and pursue security through development.
The year 2010 was one of both challenges and achievements for China's diplomacy. Under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, we successfully hosted joyful events, properly managed thorny issues and accomplished major tasks. We achieved abundant results in summit diplomacy, advanced our friendship and cooperation with other countries in the world across the board and opened up new dimensions in China's diplomatic work.
This year ushers in the second decade of the new century. This year is also the first year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period. We will make all-round efforts in pursuing China's diplomacy. In particular, we will give full play to the leading role of summit diplomacy. Last January, President Hu Jintao paid a very successful state visit to the United States. Our whole year's diplomacy got off to a good start. Next month, that is April, the BRICS Leaders Meeting will be held in China. In June, we will have the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's tenth anniversary summit. In October this year, the East Asia Summit will be held and in November the Group of 20 will convene a summit in France and the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will be held in the United States. All these are very important international conferences. We will make thoughtful arrangements for Chinese leaders' attendance at those meetings. We believe that China will make greater contribution to the success of these meetings and to promoting regional and international cooperation. In short, we have had a good beginning in our diplomacy this year. We must do a good job each step of the way and bring it to a successful conclusion.
Looking ahead to the next five to ten years, the overall objective of China's diplomacy is to foster a more favorable international and neighboring environment for China's domestic endeavor of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and make even greater contribution to the building of a harmonious world of enduring peace and common prosperity. China's diplomacy will play its part in serving the domestic goal of implementing the Twelfth Five-Year Plan and accelerating the transformation of China's economic development pattern. We must pursue an integrated approach in conducting diplomacy. We must give full play to the leading role of summit diplomacy, pursue country-specific, region-specific and area-specific diplomacy in a comprehensive way, coordinate bilateral and multilateral diplomacy and promote the all-round development of political, economic and cultural diplomacy. We will continue to bear in mind both the domestic and international situations. We will have a correct grasp of the interactive relationship between peaceful development and scientific development. We will unswervingly pursue the win-win strategy of opening-up so that we can achieve even greater progress along the path of peaceful development.
Interfax of Russia: How do you evaluate the current state of China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and what do you expect from the development of this relationship this year?
Foreign Minister Yang: Last year, China-Russia relations achieved good results. Leaders of the two countries reached important agreement on further deepening the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and China-Russia relations have been lifted to a higher level.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. This year is also the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination. The two countries will seize these new opportunities to further advance their strategic partnership of coordination. First, at the invitation of President Medvedev, President Hu Jintao will pay a state visit to Russia. The two sides will jointly host a series of activities to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. Second, the two countries will work together to enhance their practical cooperation in a wide range of areas. Leaders of the two countries have reached important agreement on this aspect. The two countries will work together to step up their cooperation on some key projects in such fields as economy and trade and high technology as well as their exchanges at the local level. Third, there have been such activities as the "National Year" and "Language Year" between the two countries, and there have been a lot of popular activities under such framework. We will work with our Russian colleagues to institutionalize these popular activities. Fourth, the two countries will step up their cooperation in regional and international organizations and enhance collaboration and coordination in addressing regional hotspot issues.
In a word, China and Russia are good neighbors, good friends and good partners. Trust and credibility form the foundation of all undertakings. This is a major conclusion we have drawn from the growth of China-Russia relations. It is also an important guarantee for the sustained, coordinated and steady development of China-Russia ties.
