State Councilor and foreign minister Wang Yi held a video meeting with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister brahsokun on August 8. Wang Yi said that in today's world, peace is impacted and development is in trouble. Wang Yi said that facing the choice of unity or division, cooperation or confrontation, from next month, China, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand will successively host the BRICs leaders' meeting, the series of East Asian Cooperation leaders' meetings, the G20 leaders' summit and the APEC informal leaders' meeting. Global governance has entered an "Asian moment", and the international community expects Asia to play a leading role in this regard. China is willing to work with Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand to jointly voice the strong voice of the times committed to peace and development from Asia, jointly release the positive signal of adhering to multilateralism, jointly inject more stability expectations into the region and the world, and jointly make Asian contributions to addressing global challenges. Wang Yi said that Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand jointly issued a press communique a few days ago, emphasizing that the international community should unite to meet challenges, open and inclusive development. This conforms to the unanimous will of all countries in the world to oppose opposition and jointly promote stability and prosperity, reflects the clear will to resist external interference and maintain strategic autonomy, and also shows the firm confidence to promote regional and multilateral cooperation. China believes that the world should listen more to the voice of Asia, respect its position and learn from its wisdom. It is believed that Cambodia, as the rotating presidency of ASEAN, will play a unique and constructive role in this regard. Wang Yi stressed that Asia is a place for China and Cambodia to settle down and develop and prosper. Introducing the Cold War mentality into the region and inciting and creating factional antagonism will undermine the situation of regional peaceful development over the years. Asian countries should jointly guard against and resist it. China is happy to see countries outside the region play an active and constructive role in regional peace and development, but will not accept any acts that undermine regional peace and stability and undermine regional unity and cooperation. I believe that countries in the region will uphold an independent position, proceed from the overall situation of peace and stability in Asia, safeguard the unity of ASEAN countries and the common interests of countries in the region, including China.
