On February 17, local time, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Firmly acting as a force for Stability in a Turbulent World" at the "China Special Session".

Wang Yi said that the world is full of turbulence and mankind is facing multiple challenges. Protectionism and pan-security have hit the world economy, while unilateralism and bloc politics have dealt a heavy blow to the international system. The crisis in Ukraine has dragged on and intensified, and conflicts in the Middle East have flared up again. New challenges such as artificial intelligence, climate change and space polar regions are coming one after another. However, no matter how the international situation may change, China, as a responsible major country, will always maintain the continuity and stability of its major policies and firmly remain a stabilizing force in a turbulent world.

First, we need to be a stabilizing force for cooperation among major countries. We should work together to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state and move China-Us relations forward on the right track of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. We will steadily develop China-Russia relations and promote strategic stability in the Asia-Pacific and the world at large. We should stick to the role of China-Eu partnership and inject positive energy into dealing with chaos.

Second, we will be a stabilizing force in dealing with hotspot issues. We will implement the global security initiative and strive to find solutions to hotspot issues with Chinese characteristics. We are committed to non-interference in other people's internal affairs and oppose imposition on others. We should uphold objectivity and fairness and oppose seeking personal gains. Adhere to political settlement and oppose the use of force; We should address both the symptoms and root causes and oppose short-sightedness and one-sidedness.

Third, we need to be a stabilizing force for global governance. We support the authority and centrality of the United Nations and the primary role of the Security Council in peace and security issues. We will strengthen solidarity and cooperation in the "Global South" and increase the representation and voice of developing countries in global affairs. To provide more public goods to the world and make China's contribution to tackling global challenges.

Fourth, to be a stabilizing force for global growth. The Chinese economy has always been full of vitality and resilience, and the long-term positive momentum is more evident. The future will bring even greater benefits to the world. We are focused on achieving Chinese-style modernization and are ready to work with all parties to make globalization more inclusive and beneficial to more countries and people.
