Wang Yi: The Clearest Message from the Forum is Unity, Cooperation, Openness and Win-win Outcome

On October 18, 2023, as the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF) came to a conclusion, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a press conference for Chinese and foreign media at the press center of the Forum, introducing the important outcomes of the Forum and answering questions.

Wang Yi said, "The clearest message from this Forum is unity, cooperation, openness and win-win outcome. Today's world is confronted with a multitude of crises and challenges; Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation have resurfaced. Yet all the participants have made it clear that they have come for friendship, for cooperation and for development."

Wang Yi stressed, "President Xi Jinping pointed out in his keynote speech that humankind is a community with a shared future; win-win cooperation is the sure way to success in launching major initiatives that benefit all; and the Silk Road spirit of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit is the most important source of strength for Belt and Road cooperation. We need unity, cooperation, openness and win-win outcomes, not division, confrontation, isolation or zero-sum mentality. Amidst great transformations unseen in a century, Belt and Road cooperation will always bring stability and positive energy to the world."
