Through head-of-state diplomacy, China’s relations with the world have undergone positive and profound changes, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past year, President Xi Jinping personally planned and conducted head-of-state diplomacy, and many fruitful results were achieved, Wang said at a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three major events hosted by China last year — the conference marking the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, and the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum — set a new benchmark of the Global South joining hands for common progress, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wang also noted that Xi’s four overseas visits in the past year generated new dynamism for global solidarity and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be new highlights in China’s head-of-state diplomacy in 2025, Wang said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month, Xi attended the opening ceremony of the Asian Winter Games, marking the beginning of diplomatic events that China will host this year, said Wang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and hold a series of major events including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit this year, according to Wang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Head-of-state diplomacy will write a new chapter of closer cooperation and shared success between China and the world,” Wang said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
