Wang Yi: "If it comes for trouble, please leave!"

On July 25, the State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the opening ceremony of the 20th Anniversary Seminar of the 20th Anniversary Seminar of the Sub -Seminar of the South China Sea.

Wang Yi said that 20 years ago, China and ASEAN countries seized historical opportunities and opened the road of dialogue cooperation between the South China Sea. Wang Yi concluded that the successful signing and implementation of the "Declaration" brought about the three important revelations brought by practice:

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!"

Wang Yi said that under the new historical conditions, we should continue to maintain the principle of the purpose of the Declaration, continue to implement the norms of the Declaration of the Declaration, and continue to solve the initiative and dominance of the South China Sea issue Master in the hands of the regional countries, the South China Sea truly becomes the sea of ​​peace, the sea of ​​friendship, and the sea of ​​cooperation.

In this regard, Wang Yi proposed to achieve "four persistences":

First, we must continue to keep the peace bottom line. The South China Sea is not a "hunting garden" outside the country, and it should not be the "horned fighting field" of the game of a great country. We should firmly support all efforts that are conducive to peaceful solutions and control, and clearly oppose any words and deeds that are intense and provoked in the region, standing on the side of the peaceful desire of the people of all countries, and standing on the correct side of the trend of the times.

Second, we must continue to promote dialogue and negotiation. Dialogue negotiation is the fundamental path to resolve contradictions, and it is also the essence of the spirit of the Declaration. We should continuously improve the two -pointer -related dialogue mechanism, add mutual trust to communicate with each other, promote safety with negotiation, and step out a road to the South China Sea governance that takes into account the demands of all parties and tolerate the interests of all parties to jointly realize the long -term stability of the South China Sea.

Third, we must continue to deepen marine cooperation. The South China Sea is the common wealth of regional countries. We must not only protect it, but also develop and use them well. We should emancipate our minds, be brave to explore, gradually establish and improve the coastal national cooperation mechanism, actively promote pragmatic cooperation in scientific research, environmental protection, search and rescue and other fields, discuss the joint development of resources, and better benefit in regional countries and people.

Fourth, we must continue to promote the "guidelines" consultation. The formulation of the "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" is the clear requirements of the Declaration, and it is also an urgent need for the development of the situation. We should use the spirit of the Declaration as the guidance to accelerate the enhanced and upgraded version of the Declaration of the Declaration. 2. Promoting cooperation to provide a stronger and stronger institutional guarantee.
