Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, delivering a keynote address at the 59th Munich Security Conference, stated that making the world a safer place was China’s abiding commitment.
Yi maintained that as the world stood at “a critical juncture of history, human society must not repeat the old path of antagonism, division and confrontation, and must not fall into the trap of zero-sum game, war and conflict”. “Making the world a safer place is the strong desire of all people, the common responsibility of all countries, and more importantly, the right direction for the advance of our times”.
He furthered that for a safer world, all countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected. Yi added that power politics and hegemony were “a recipe for global instability and do the biggest damage to global peace”.
