According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on May 26 local time, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Macek, the Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, during a high-level meeting of the United Nations Security Council in New York.
Ma Qingka said that it was a great honor to be invited to attend the high-level meeting convened by China. On this important platform, she could express the Czech Republics position. China is an important partner of the Czech Republic in Asia. Maintaining healthy and stable relations with China is in the interests of the Czech Republic. The new Czech government firmly adheres to the one-China policy, and this stance will never change. She is willing to strengthen communication with China, enhance mutual trust, make use of convenient conditions such as direct flights, promote civil exchanges, and gradually restore Czech-China relations to a proper state, thereby restoring cooperation and exchanges in various fields.
Wang Yi said, I agree with your statement this morning. In the face of current global challenges, major powers must play their proper roles. They should be the first to abide by international laws, practice multilateralism, support small and medium-sized countries, and maintain peace and stability. This is what a major power should do. President Xi Jinping has proposed four global initiatives in order to better address these challenges and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. China will continue to fulfill its international responsibilities, stand up for small and medium-sized countries, uphold justice, and safeguard the international system centered around the United Nations.
Wang Yi stated that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of China-Jerusalem strategic partnership. The Chinese side is willing to work together with the Israeli side to remove obstacles and improve bilateral relations, thereby revitalizing traditional friendship. Both sides should strengthen dialogue and cooperation, enhance political mutual trust, and gradually expand practical cooperation in areas such as trade, economy, and tourism. It is crucial to maintain a correct direction for the development of bilateral relations. The issue of Taiwan is a Chinese internal matter. It is hoped that the Israeli government will adhere to the principle of one China, resist any negative actions or statements that weaken this principle, and thereby strengthen the political foundation of bilateral relations. This will help to restore China-Israel relations to a healthy and sustainable path.
