Wang Yi talked about the three revelations of the successful practice of the "Declaration of the South China Sea"

On July 25, 2022, the State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the opening ceremony of the 20th anniversary seminar signed by the "Declaration Declaration of the South China Sea" by video and delivered speeches.

Wang Yi summarized the three important revelations brought by the signing of the Declaration and the successful practice of implementation.

First, peace and stability in the South China Sea is an important prerequisite for regional development. If the South China Sea is stable, the regional countries benefit and the South China Sea chaos, and the regional country will suffer. China and ASEAN countries pay attention to putting differences in appropriate positions, incorporating the negotiation and control track determined by the Declaration, providing a favorable environment for the development and prosperity of regional countries and the well -being of the people.

Second, regional countries are the true owners of the South China Sea issue. Chinese and ASEAN countries use the South China Sea as our common home, pioneering and promoting dual -track ideas, adhere to the country's country through friendly negotiation and negotiations to resolve maritime disputes, and adhere to the peace and stability of the South China Sea to maintain the peace and stability of the South China Sea. Practice has proved that the dual -track ideas are in line with regional reality and regional characteristics, effectively control the situation at sea, maintain the overall stability of the South China Sea, and provide a good foundation for joint protection, development and utilization of the South China Sea.

Third, the East Asian model is an effective way to gather and maintain consensus. The "Declaration" condenses the essence of East Asian culture, such as consistent negotiation and the comfort of all parties, and reflects the largest number of conventions of regional countries on the South China Sea issue. In the process of implementing the "Declaration", we always follow the Asian traditions that respect each other and keep in a trustworthiness, abandon zero sum of thinking, promote positive concepts, and demonstrate the valuable value and vitality of the Declaration.

Wang Yi emphasized that today's South China Sea is not calm. In order to safeguard their own hegemony, individual foreign countries have continuously increased their efforts into their regions, deliberately expand contradictions, provoke tension, and endanger the legitimate rights and interests of the coastal countries and the normal order at sea. In this regard, China and ASEAN countries should clarify our attitudes: if we come for peaceful cooperation, we welcome; if we come for trouble, please leave!
