Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that solving the initiative and dominance of the South China Sea issue in the hands of regional countries, he proposed that he would truly build the South China Sea into a sea of peace, the sea of friendship, the sea of friendship, the cooperation of cooperation, and the cooperation.The sea must be "four continuity."
According to the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Yi attended the opening ceremony of the 20th anniversary seminar for the 20th anniversary seminar on Monday (July 25) to commemorate the South China Sea.
Wang Yi said that 20 years ago, China and Asia's (China -called ASEAN) countries seized historical opportunities and opened the road of dialogue cooperation between the South China Sea.Under the new historical conditions, we should continue to unswervingly maintain the principle of maintaining the declaration, continue to firmly unswervingly implement the norms of the declaration, and continue to solve the initiative and dominance of the South China Sea.The South China Sea truly creates the sea of peace, the sea of friendship, and the sea of cooperation, to achieve the "four continuity."
One must continue to keep the peace bottom line.The South China Sea is not the "hunter" of out -of -domain countries, let alone the "horns" of the game of the great power.We should firmly support all efforts that are conducive to peaceful resolution and control of disputes, and clearly oppose any words and deeds that are intense and provoked in the region, standing on the side of the peaceful desire of the people of all countries, and standing on the correct side of the trend of the times.
Second, we must continue to promote dialogue and negotiation.Dialogue negotiation is the fundamental path to resolve contradictions and the essence of the spirit of declaration.We should continuously improve the two -pointer -related dialogue mechanism, add mutual trust to communicate with each other, promote safety with negotiation, and get out of the road of governance of the South China Sea governance that takes into account the demands of all parties and tolerate the interests of all parties to jointly realize the long -term stability of the South China Sea.
Third, we must continue to deepen maritime cooperation.The South China Sea is the common wealth of regional countries. We must not only protect well, but also develop and use them well.We should emancipate our minds, be brave to explore, gradually establish and improve the coastal national cooperation mechanism, actively promote pragmatic cooperation in scientific research, environmental protection, search and rescue and other fields, discuss the joint development of resources, and better benefit in regional countries and people.
Fourth, we must continue to promote the "guidelines" consultation.The formulation of the "Southern China Sea Conduct" is the clear requirements of the declaration, and it is also an urgent need for the development of the situation.We should use the spirit of declaration as the guidance to accelerate the enhanced and upgraded version of the declaration of declaration, and reach an "guidelines" that are effective, full of substantial content, and compliance with international law, including the United Nations Marine Law Convention.Powerful institutional guarantee.
Wang Yi also summarized the three important revelations brought by the signing of the declaration and the successful practice of implementation.
First, the peace and stability of the South China Sea is an important prerequisite for regional development.The South China Sea is stable, and the regional countries benefit, and the southern China chaos, and the regional country suffers.China and Asians' countries have paid attention to putting differences in appropriate positions and incorporating the negotiation and control tracks determined by the declaration, providing a favorable environment for the development and prosperity of regional countries and the well -being of the people.
The second is the real owner of the regional country.China and the Asianan countries use the South China Sea as our common home, to create and promote dual -track ideas, adhere to the country's country through friendly negotiation and negotiation to resolve maritime disputes, and adhere to the peace and stability of the China and the Asian and Asian countries.Practice has proved that the dual -track ideas are in line with regional reality and have regional characteristics. It effectively controls the situation at sea, maintains the overall stability of the South China Sea, and provides a good foundation for joint protection, development and utilization of the South China Sea.
The third is an effective way to gather and maintain consensus.Declaration of East Asian culture, such as the consensus of negotiation and the comfort of all parties, reflects the largest number of conventions of regional countries on the South China Sea issue.In the process of implementing a declaration, we always follow the Asian traditions that respect each other, reigning to trust in the Asian tradition, abandoning zero sum of thinking, promoting the concept of positive and harmony, and demonstrating the valuable value and vitality of the declaration.
Wang Yi emphasized that today's South China Sea is not calm.In order to safeguard their own hegemony, individual foreign countries have continuously increased their efforts to their regions, deliberately expand contradictions, provoke tension, and endanger the legitimate rights and interests of the coastal country and the normal order at sea.In this regard, China and the Asianan countries should clarify our attitudes: if we come for peaceful cooperation, we welcome; if we come for trouble, please leave.
