Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang has promised to continue to pursue the independent foreign policy of peace and implement the mutually beneficial strategy of opening-up.
Qin said this at a press conference Tuesday on the sidelines of the first session of the 14th National People’s Congress in Beijing.
He said:”As the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, China will continue to pursue the independent foreign policy of peace and continue to implement the mutually beneficial strategy of opening-up,” Qin said in the opening remarks.
China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order, he said.
Qin stated that Chinese modernisation offers solutions to many challenges facing human development, while achieving the modernisation of a country of more than 1.4 billion people.
“It busts the myth that modernisation is westernisation. It creates a new form of human advancement, and it provides an important source of inspiration for the world, especially developing countries,” he said.
The minister said the relationship between China and Russia is based on the principles of non-alliance, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third parties, Qin said.
