The statement states that the five countries will work closely under this framework to respond to challenges such as rising pressure on the "rules -based international order", and support the prosperity, toughness and safety of the Pacific region. Cooperation in areas. What is China's comment?

Zhao Lijian: A few days ago, Wang Yi's State Councilor and Foreign Minister conducted a "full coverage" visit to the South -Pacific buildings, injecting a new strong driving force into the development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two parties. China and the island nations cherish the traditional friendship between each other, are committed to enhancing mutual trust, deepening and pragmatic cooperation, working together to cope with challenges, and achieving common development.

China is willing to see more practical things to promote the development of the South Pacific Island country. At the same time, I want to emphasize that any cooperation initiative against the South Tai area should follow the trend of peaceful development and win -win cooperation, and respect the independence and sovereignty of the Pacific Island country. They should not help gangs, engage in "small circles", and should not target third parties or damage the interests of third parties.
