China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi used global security discussions to stress dialogue and diplomacy on major conflicts including Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, and Venezuela. He emphasized respect for sovereignty, international law, and multilateral cooperation, arguing that global crises should be resolved through negotiation rather than confrontation. His remarks reflected Beijing’s broader positioning as a stabilizing diplomatic actor while subtly criticizing Western unilateral approaches.
The comments came amid rising geopolitical tensions and debates over global governance, with China signaling support for peaceful settlements and urging Europe and other powers to contribute constructive solutions. The message underscores Beijing’s effort to frame itself as a mediator promoting stability while protecting its strategic interests in multiple regions.

00:00The situation in Iran has a direct impact on peace in the Middle East.
00:04Relevant parties should act with prudence and avoid creating new conflicts.
00:08Friends and colleagues, it gives me great pleasure to join you again at the Munich Security Conference for the conversation
00:15with China.
00:16Over the past year, the international landscape was marked by growing transformation and evidence,
00:21and the law of the jungle and unilateralism went rampant.
00:24Humanity has come to a new crossroads for the cause of peace and development.
00:29At such a juncture, President Xi Jinping has put forward the Global Governance Initiative, or GGI,
00:36and called for following the five principles of sovereign equality, international rule of law, multilateralism, the people-centered approach, and
00:43real actions,
00:44with a view to jointly building a more just and equitable global governance system.
00:49This initiative, which aligns with the progressive trend of the times, represents the biggest common ground of the world's nations,
00:55and has thus received widespread response from the international community shortly after its announcement.
01:01It injects new impetus into the endeavor to build the community with a shared future for humanity,
01:09and offers a compass for the giant ship of history to navigate through storms toward a brighter future.
01:14Now that humanity has weathered wind and rain to come this far, pulling together should be the imperative choice.
01:22We should reform and improve global governance to set the ship of history on the right course.
01:28In reforming and improving global governance, the priority is to revitalize the UN system.
01:33The founding of the UN is an important outcome of the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
01:39It is a historic choice made by previous generations after painful reflection on past agonies,
01:45and it is the peace endeavor that nations have invested their greatest efforts in thus far.
01:51This adivis was jointly built by the people of the world,
01:54who have every responsibility to reinforce and renovate it, and no right to destroy it or tear it down.
02:00The UN is not perfect in its current form.
02:03But it remains the most universal and authoritative international and intergovernmental organization in the world.
02:09On the UN platform, every country, regardless of its size or wealth,
02:14has a voice and a sacred vote, as well as its due obligations and equal rights.
02:20Without the UN, the world would revert to the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak,
02:26and many medium- and small-sized countries would lose the multilateral foundation, critical to their survival and development.
02:34So what is imperative for us today is to recommit to the founding mission of the UN,
02:39revitalize its leading role, abide by the purposes of the UN Charter,
02:44and enhance the efficiency and efficacy of the UN system,
02:46so that the organization will be able to better adapt to the needs of the 21st century and unleash renewed
02:52vitality.
02:53In reforming and improving global governance, the key lies in the collaboration and cooperation of all countries.
03:00The reason why the international system is not functioning well enough lies not with the UN itself,
03:07but rather with certain countries seeking to magnify differences and disagreements,
03:13put itself above everyone else, stoke block confrontation, and even revive the Cold War mentality.
03:18So all these have eroded the foundation of trust, worsened the atmosphere for cooperation,
03:24and imputed the functioning of international institutions.
03:27To safeguard international collaboration and cooperation,
03:30it is important to seek common ground while shelving differences and pursuing cooperation.
03:35The world is a diverse place.
03:38It is only natural that countries differ in social systems, history, culture, interests, and demand.
03:43And it is precisely the differences that necessitate dialogue and cooperation.
03:49There is no reason why countries cannot respect each other and contribute to each other's success,
03:54just like the way gentlemen engage with one another.
03:57There could be harmony without uniformity.
04:01A review of history shows, from the victory of the world anti-fascist war,
04:06to overcoming the global financial crisis,
04:08from the global climate response to fighting terrorism,
04:12none of such progress would have been possible without countries coming together
04:16for sincere cooperation, despite their differences.
04:20So let us bear in mind that unity brings strength,
04:23and only in unity can we find hope.
04:25In reforming and improving global governance,
04:28multilateralism should be always upheld.
04:30Power monopolization by a few countries is simply unpopular.
04:34We live in a multi-polar world and need to practice true multilateralism.
04:39There needs to be greater democracy in international relations.
04:42Global affairs should be discussed by all,
04:44and the future of the world should be decided by all.
04:48We need to make sure that all countries abide by the same set of rules,
04:52i.e. the basic norms governing international relations,
04:55underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
04:58All countries should be equal in terms of rights, opportunities, and rules.
05:02And all countries, in particular small and medium-sized ones,
05:06should be able to find their places and play their roles in international relations.
05:12To practice multilateralism, major countries, in particular, should lead by example.
05:18They should take the lead in advancing cooperation, instead of conflict or confrontation.
05:23They should take the lead in observing rules, instead of applying double standards.
05:27They should take the lead in promoting equality, instead of imposing their will onto others.
05:32They should take the lead in encouraging openness, instead of resorting to self-serving unilateralism.
05:38The global south is rising collectively.
05:40The global governance system should also stay up-to-date
05:43to give more prominence to their voices and representation.
05:46Time will prove that the more democratic international relations are,
05:51and the more peaceful the world is,
05:53the stronger multilateralism gets, the more effective global governance becomes.
05:59In reforming and improving global governance,
06:02the pressing task is to stop conflict and promote peace.
06:05While looking into the future, we should not forget the present.
06:09Without peace, global governance will be out of the question.
06:12As we speak, there are still more than 60 conflicts dragging on,
06:16underbated, across the world,
06:18bringing traumatic suffering to the affected populations.
06:22The vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security
06:27proposed by President Xi Jinping has pointed the way for resolving the issues.
06:31We should promote talks for peace and oppose attempts to escalate the situation.
06:37We should resolve differences through mediation and overcome conflicts through dialogue.
06:42In Gaza, the realization of ceasefire and reconstruction will require unremitting efforts.
06:47To implement the two-state solution and restore justice to the Palestinian people
06:52is the unsherkable responsibility of the international community.
06:56The situation in Iran has a direct impact on peace in the Middle East.
07:00Relevant parties should act with prudence and avoid creating new conflicts.
07:05Under the Ukraine crisis, the door to dialogue is finally open.
07:08All parties concerned should seize the opportunity to reach a comprehensive,
07:12durable, and binding peace agreement,
07:14remove the root causes of the conflict,
07:17and bring about lasting peace and stability in Europe.
07:21On Venezuela, the red line of the international rule of law must not be crossed,
07:26and the principle of state sovereignty must be upheld.
07:29Friends, this year, China kicks off the implementation of its 15th February plan
07:34for economic and social development.
07:36All our endeavors are aimed to secure a better life for the Chinese people.
07:40We aspire for a stable external environment for our development,
07:45and we also hope to make the world a better place through our development.
07:48China will be a stoned force for peace,
07:50will commit to the path of peaceful development,
07:52and we encourage all countries to do the same.
07:56China will be a reliable force for stability.
07:59We will uphold international fairness and justice,
08:02and explore a distinctly Chinese approach to resolving hotspot issues.
08:07China will be a progressive force in history.
08:09We will resolutely defend the outcomes of the progress of human civilization,
08:13advance the implementation of the four major global initiatives,
08:16and promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
08:20Both China and Europe have time-honored civilizations
08:23and stand as indispensable poles in this multipolar world.
08:27The choices we make now are crucial to the future of the world.
08:31In the journey toward world multipolarity and economic globalization,
08:35China and Europe are partners, not rivals.
08:38As long as we keep that in mind,
08:40we will be able to make the right choices in the face of challenges.
08:44We will be able to prevent the world from slipping into division
08:48and keep moving human civilization forward.
08:51Let us work together to recalibrate the course of history
08:54and create a better world.
09:30Thank you very much for your speech.
09:34We have time for a few questions.
09:37which people from the audience have sent over to me.
09:45Let me start by the one question that's on everybody's mind here,
09:52the question related to the war in Ukraine.
09:58I hope this is going to be the last time that we need to discuss this question
10:04about how to end this war.
10:07Many of us hope that this will be the year
10:10when this war will actually be ended.
10:14The United States,
10:16Marco Rubio just spoke before you,
10:20the United States is actively engaged
10:23with Russian negotiators
10:25and Ukrainian negotiators
10:27to try to end this war.
10:29My question is a very simple one.
10:31What can China do?
10:34What can China contribute
10:36to convince Russia
10:39to finally end this war
10:42and to withdraw from Ukraine?
10:47Please.
10:54China's position and stance
10:56is clear
10:57that all regional hotspot issues
10:59should be resolved
11:00through dialogue and consultation
11:02and we need to find a political settlement.
11:05So this holds true
11:06for the Ukraine crisis,
11:07but China is not a party directly involved.
11:10We don't have the final say.
11:11What we are doing
11:13is to promote talks for peace.
11:17So that's why
11:18we sent our special representative
11:20on Shateau Diplomacy
11:22and through all possible channels
11:26we have been sending our message
11:31that we want to see
11:33a cessation of hostilities
11:35at an early date
11:36and the resumption of dialogue.
11:38But finally,
11:39now we are seeing
11:40that the peace talks have begun
11:42and I think
11:43now what are being discussed
11:45are the real issues.
11:46We welcome this
11:48because without dialogue
11:50how can peace ever arrive?
11:52If we don't keep dialogue going,
11:56a peace deal,
11:58a treaty will not fall from the sky.
12:00So we hope that
12:01through our consistent efforts
12:03we can reach
12:03a comprehensive, durable
12:06and long-lasting
12:08and binding
12:09peace deal
12:11acceptable to all parties.
12:15So I think
12:16this is the common goal
12:17of the international community
12:18including China.
12:21Europe should not
12:23watch this from the sidelines.
12:25Right here
12:25in Munich last year
12:27at that time
12:29United States
12:30had been
12:30started engagement
12:32with Russia
12:32and Europe
12:34seemed to be left watching
12:35from the sidelines
12:36and I said
12:36then that
12:37since
12:38the conflict
12:40broke out
12:41right here
12:42in Europe
12:42Europe
12:43has every right
12:44to participate
12:45in the negotiation
12:46in due course.
12:48So I said
12:49that Europe
12:49should not be
12:50on the menu
12:51but should be
12:52at the table.
12:53But now
12:54we are seeing
12:54that Europe
12:55has
12:57come up
12:58with the courage
12:59to talk
13:00with Russia.
13:02This is good
13:03and we
13:03support this
13:04but we think
13:06that we should not
13:07have dialogue
13:07for dialogue's sake.
13:09I think Europe
13:09should come up
13:10with your ideas
13:11and your plans
13:11on how to
13:13resolve this issue.
13:15And in this process
13:17we need to
13:18foster a more
13:19balanced
13:20effective
13:20and sustainable
13:23security
13:24architecture
13:25for Europe.
13:27So by doing this
13:28we are addressing
13:29the root causes
13:30of the crisis
13:30and we can
13:31prevent it
13:32from reoccurring
13:33and to
13:35achieve
13:35sustainable
13:36and lasting peace.
13:37China will
13:38in our own way
13:38give our full support
13:39for the peace process.
13:41I thank you.
13:46Please allow me
13:47to push you
13:48just a little bit
13:48more on this question.
13:50I remember
13:51that
13:52when this war
13:53broke out
13:56now
13:57four years ago
13:58on this stage
14:00here
14:01we were discussing
14:02the issue
14:03then
14:03and you
14:05made a very
14:05important statement
14:06then
14:07namely that
14:07China
14:08remained committed
14:09to the
14:10fundamental
14:11principles
14:12of the
14:12United Nations
14:13including
14:13territorial
14:14integrity
14:15and sovereignty.
14:17Can you
14:18repeat
14:18would you
14:19say
14:20again today
14:21that China
14:21remains committed
14:22to the idea
14:23of sovereignty
14:24and territorial
14:25integrity
14:25of Ukraine?
14:33China is a
14:34major country
14:35so I think
14:36it is incumbent
14:37on us
14:37to keep our
14:38policy stable
14:39and consistent.
14:40We should not
14:41have all the
14:42policy flip-flops.
14:45So China
14:46is such
14:47a major country
14:48we mean
14:49what we say
14:49and we do
14:50what we say
14:51in implementing
14:52our policies
14:53and after
14:54it is implemented
14:56we will
14:56see it through
14:58to the end.
14:59So the four things
15:00must be done
15:01proposed by
15:01President Xi Jinping
15:02each other
15:02first
15:03the purpose
15:03the sovereignty
15:05and territorial
15:06integrity
15:06should be
15:07observed
15:09and all
15:10the
15:10legitimate
15:11security concerns
15:12of all parties
15:13needs to be
15:13observed.
15:15This is what
15:15we say
15:16and we will
15:17continue to
15:17mean what we say
15:18and do what we say
15:19we will continue
15:19to be a force
15:20for peace
15:21in the world.
15:22Thank you
15:23very much
15:23sir.
15:24Let's turn
15:25to
15:25US-China
15:27relations.
15:28The
15:29previous
15:30speaker was
15:31Marco Rubio
15:32who talked
15:33a little bit
15:34about the
15:34same question
15:35also.
15:37There are
15:38obviously
15:39continuing
15:41contentious
15:41issues
15:42between
15:42the United
15:43States
15:44and China.
15:45Taiwan
15:46appears to be
15:47one of them
15:48but not the
15:48only one.
15:49So
15:50my very
15:51simple question
15:52to you
15:53this morning
15:54is since
15:54we know
15:55that there
15:56will be
15:56a summit
15:56between
15:58President Xi
15:58Jinping
15:59and President
15:59Trump
16:00in like
16:01two months
16:01in April
16:03could you
16:04describe a
16:05little bit
16:05your
16:05expectations
16:06regarding
16:07that
16:07summit?
16:08Does
16:09China
16:09expect
16:10as
16:11President
16:12Trump
16:12would
16:12probably
16:13call it
16:13a deal
16:14with the
16:15United
16:15States
16:15or what
16:17would you
16:18see as
16:18a positive
16:19outcome
16:19from a
16:20Chinese
16:20perspective?
16:28how China
16:29and the
16:29United States
16:30get along
16:30bears on
16:32the fundamental
16:32trajectory
16:33of the
16:33international
16:34situation.
16:35So China
16:36with a sense
16:37of responsibility
16:38to the world
16:38to history
16:39and to the
16:40people
16:40we approach
16:41and handles
16:42our relations
16:43with the
16:43U.S.
16:44President
16:45Xi Jinping
16:45has
16:46summed up
16:47the lessons
16:49of China
16:50U.S.
16:50relations
16:51over the
16:51past decades
16:52and proposed
16:52the three
16:53principles
16:54mutual respect
16:55peaceful
16:56coexistence
16:57and moving
16:58cooperation.
16:59So through
16:59dialogue and
17:00consultation
17:00we seek to
17:01find the
17:03right way
17:04for the
17:04two major
17:05countries
17:05to get
17:06along well
17:06with each
17:07other
17:07on this
17:07planet.
17:09And we
17:10will continue
17:11on this
17:12path
17:12so that
17:13in the
17:14interest
17:15of our
17:15two
17:16peoples
17:16and in
17:17line with
17:18the
17:18expectation
17:19of the
17:19international
17:19community
17:20but whether
17:20we can
17:21achieve
17:21that
17:21goal
17:21ultimately
17:22depends
17:23on the
17:23United
17:23States
17:24but we
17:25are
17:25encouraged
17:27that
17:28President
17:28Xi

21:17so
21:17why
21:18someday
21:19China
21:19suddenly
21:20became
21:21a
21:21rival
21:22of
21:23the
21:23EU
21:24I
21:24think
21:24this
21:24is
21:24very
21:25negative
21:25thinking
21:26and
21:26this
21:28will
21:29do
21:29no
21:29good
21:29we
21:30don't
21:30want
21:30to
21:31see
21:31the
21:31amplification
21:32of
21:32the
21:32so-called
21:33narrative
21:33of
21:34systemic
21:34rival
21:35because
21:36this
21:36will
21:36be
21:37toxic
21:37for
21:38the
21:38future
21:38development
21:39of
21:39China
21:39EU
21:40relations
21:41but
21:42there
21:43are
21:44differences
21:44and
21:45differences
21:45from
21:46between
21:46our two
21:47sides
21:47for example
21:47our social
21:48systems
21:48our values
21:49and our
21:50development
21:51model
21:51but that's
21:52because of
21:53we have
21:53different
21:54history
21:55and culture
21:55and based
21:56on
21:56this
21:57our
21:57peoples
21:58have different
22:00choices
22:00about the way
22:01we develop
22:01but that doesn't
22:02mean that we
22:03should become
22:04rivals
22:05or competitors
22:06what's important
22:07is that we
22:08should
22:09respect each
22:10other
22:10admire each
22:11other
22:11and learn
22:12from each
22:13other
22:13and grow
22:14together
22:15and light
22:16up the
22:16world
22:18this is
22:19the right
22:20choice
22:24Chinese
22:24ancient
22:25philosophers
22:26said that
22:27all things
22:27can co-exist
22:28on earth
22:29without harming
22:30each other
22:30and always
22:31can go
22:32parallel
22:33with each
22:33other
22:33so I think
22:35this
22:36was
22:37proposed
22:38over 2000
22:39years ago
22:39in China
22:40at that time
22:41we had
22:41those wisdom
22:42and I think
22:43now we can
22:43do better
22:46and Confucius
22:47once said
22:48that
22:49for gentlemen
22:51we can
22:52achieve
22:52harmony
22:53without
22:54uniformity
22:55so we
22:55acknowledge
22:56that we
22:57there are
22:57differences
22:58and divergences
22:59between us
23:00but that
23:01doesn't mean
23:02that we
23:03couldn't
23:04reach
23:04better harmony
23:06so this
23:08is what
23:09we should
23:09seek
23:11and this
23:11is how
23:12gentlemen
23:12should get
23:13along with
23:14each other
23:14so I think
23:16both sides
23:16can follow
23:17this way
23:18and can do
23:19like a gentleman
23:19does
23:20especially
23:21in this
23:22current
23:24tumultuous
23:25international
23:25landscape
23:26it is more
23:26important
23:26for China
23:27and the
23:27EU
23:27to practice
23:28multilateralism
23:29to safeguard
23:29the authority
23:30of the United
23:30Nations
23:30to say
23:32no
23:32to
23:32unilateral
23:34practices
23:35and to
23:36safeguard
23:36free trade
23:37and oppose
23:38block
23:39confrontation
23:39I sincerely
23:40invite
23:41all our
23:42European
23:43friends
23:43to join
23:43us
23:44in the
23:45implementation
23:46of the
23:46global
23:46governance
23:47initiative
23:47proposed by
23:48President Xi Jinping
23:49and build a
23:50more just
23:50and equitable
23:51global order
23:52this is
23:52this is what
23:53we should do
23:53together
23:53thank you
23:55very last
23:56question
23:57we've already
23:58run out of
23:58time actually
24:00Asia Pacific
24:01Asia Pacific
24:04when we look
24:05at reports
24:07about
24:07possible
24:08or actual
24:09renewed
24:10tensions
24:11in the
24:11Asia Pacific
24:12region
24:14can you
24:15can you
24:16present
24:17a message
24:18of reassurance
24:19about what
24:20China is
24:21prepared to do
24:22to
24:23to avoid
24:24to prevent
24:26renewed
24:28escalation
24:28renewed
24:29concerns
24:29about
24:30tensions
24:30possible
24:32military
24:32confrontations
24:33in your part
24:34of the world
24:42first I don't
24:45think that
24:46the situation
24:46in Asia
24:47Pacific
24:48is getting
24:48increasingly
24:49tense
24:50in today's
24:50world
24:51Asia
24:52is
24:53probably
24:55the only
24:55region
24:56that maintains
24:57overall peace
24:57not long
24:59ago
24:59border clashes
25:01broke out
25:02between Thailand
25:02and Cambodia
25:05but that
25:06was brought
25:07to a halt
25:10with China
25:11playing
25:12our
25:13mediating role
25:16China
25:16has become
25:17an important
25:19pillar for peace
25:19in Asia
25:21and as
25:22one of the
25:22world's most
25:23important forces
25:24for peace
25:24today
25:24we will
25:25continue to
25:25play
25:27a constructive
25:28role in
25:28safeguarding
25:29regional peace
25:30and stability
25:31but of course
25:33Asia is not
25:34without
25:34challenges
25:36here
25:37I wish to
25:38say one thing
25:39that is
25:40we should be
25:41alert
25:42to
25:44a very
25:45dangerous
25:46development
25:48in
25:48Asia
25:50not long
25:50ago
25:51the sitting
25:51Japanese
25:52Prime Minister
25:52said publicly
25:54that a
25:54Taiwan
25:56contingency
26:00amounts to
26:01a survival
26:02threatening
26:02situation
26:03that could
26:03trigger the
26:04use of
26:04collective
26:05self-defense
26:05so this is
26:06the first
26:07time in
26:0780 years
26:08that a
26:08Japanese
26:09Prime Minister
26:09has uttered
26:10such words
26:11it directly
26:12violates
26:13China's
26:14territorial
26:14sovereignty
26:15and it
26:16directly
26:16challenges
26:17the fact
26:18that Taiwan
26:18has been
26:19returned
26:19to China
26:20it completely
26:21violates
26:22Japan's
26:23commitment
26:24to China
26:25could China
26:26possibly
26:27accept
26:27this
26:28provocation
26:28no way
26:29no Chinese
26:30can accept
26:30it
26:31here
26:32we are
26:33in Europe
26:34in Germany
26:35I'd like to
26:36make a
26:36comparison
26:37after the
26:38second world
26:39war
26:40Germany
26:40conducted
26:41a thorough
26:42reckoning
26:42with Nazi
26:43crimes
26:43and passing
26:44laws to
26:45ban
26:45all the
26:46speech
26:46and actions
26:47promoting
26:47Nazi
26:48ideology
26:48but
26:49Japan
26:49still
26:50pays
26:50homage
26:51to
26:52the
26:52class
26:52A
26:52war
26:53criminals
26:55and they
26:56are
26:56enshrined
26:57as
26:58so-called
26:58heroic
26:59spirits
27:04so
27:05this
27:05means that
27:07Japan
27:08has lingering
27:08ambitions
27:09for
27:09evasion
27:10and
27:10colonialism
27:10of
27:11Taiwan
27:11and
27:13the
27:13ghost
27:13of
27:14militarism
27:14are still
27:15haunting
27:16the
27:16country
27:17the
27:18lessons
27:18are not
27:19far
27:20behind
27:20us
27:21back
