Chinese FM Wang Yi said at the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Manila: #China# stands ready to work with #ASEAN# in upholding the principles of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win results, forging closer cooperation for the well-being of the region’s peoples and reinforcing unity to tackle new challenges and uncertainties. China and ASEAN countries have the wisdom and capability to continue to properly handle the South China Sea issue. Regional countries should strictly honor the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, resist external attempts to stoke tensions, reject any nation’s efforts to stir trouble in the South China Sea, and keep the initiative for safeguarding regional peace and stability firmly in their own hands. 🔗
