Wang Yi: Stay Committed to Upholding True Multilateralism
2022-07-08 21:45

On July 8, 2022 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting on the Bali Island.

Wang Yi said, the G20 was born from international cooperation in response to the global financial crisis. At the first G20 Summit, it was made clear that we should uphold multilateralism, strengthen the partnership and work together to cope with challenges. At a time when world peace and development face major challenges, we should stay committed to upholding true multilateralism and being "three partners".

First, we should be partners with mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing. International affairs should be managed by all countries through consultation and international rules should be jointly set and observed by all countries. There is only one system in this world, that is, the international system with the United Nations at its core. There is only one order, that is, the international order underpinned by international law. This has been the consensus of the international community.

Second, we should be partners of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. Only by attaching importance to the security of others and maintaining everyone's security can we truly realize our own security. To place one's own security above the security of others and intensify military blocs will only split the international community and make oneself less secure.

Third, we should be partners for openness, inclusiveness, and connectivity. Competition between countries should be fair but should not be vicious or even malicious. Building a closed and exclusive "small yard with high fences" is to go against the trend and is doomed to fail.
