Chinese FM delivers a speech at the Asia Society

New York, The Gulf Observer: Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a speech at the Asia Society Headquarters in New York about China-U.S. relations on Thursday.

Wang Yi said that regarding the right way for China and the U.S. to get along, President Xi Jinping has given a clear answer, which is mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.

The three principles are important conclusions drawn from the over half a century of China-U.S. relations, and they are also the right way for major powers to communicate with each other in this era.

Wang Yi also emphasized that the Taiwan question is the core of China’s core interests, and the one-China principle constitutes the political foundation of China-U.S. relations. Taiwan is part of Chinese territory and has never been a country. We will strive for the prospects of peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and greatest efforts but will not tolerate any activities aimed at secession.

From September 18 to 25, Wang Yi will attend the general debate of the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77) and other related activities in New York.

The UNGA77 opened last week, and its high-level debate will run from September 20 to 26.
