Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that his country is sincere in its efforts to improve its relations with the United States stressing that stable and predictable bilateral relations will be beneficial for the people of both the countries and the world as well.
Recalling Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “successful” meeting with his American counterpart Joe Biden in November 2023, FM Yi, while speaking to Al Jazeera, lamented Washington’s continuing with its wrong perception and “misguided” policy of containment against Beijing.
“[The US] has recently continued to woo its so-called allies in an attempt to provoke tensions at sea in the region and build networks to contain China at a faster pace,” the foreign minister lamented.
Underscoring unilateral sanctions by Washington aimed at curtailing China’s advancement in the field of science and technology, Yi called on the US to let go of the Cold War-driven “zero-sum mentality” and accentuated China’s contribution to cooperation, growth and stability on the global scale.
Responding to a question regarding the upcoming US elections slated to be held in November this year, the foreign minister termed the polls an “internal affairs” of the US and reiterated Beijing’s policy of non-interference.
“Whoever is elected, the Chinese and American people will still need to have exchanges and cooperation, and the two major countries must find the right way to get along with each other,” he said.
Stressing the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, the official, while referring to the recent telephonic conversation between the presidents of the two countries, the minister said that both countries should value peace and stability.
“China is ready to work with the US to carry out more win-win cooperation,” he noted.
