BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday met with Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in Beijing.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that President Xi Jinping had just held a fruitful meeting with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. China appreciates Singapore's reaffirmation of the one-China policy and unequivocal opposition to "Taiwan independence."
China is willing to take the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore as an opportunity to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and the outcomes of the visit, Wang added.
Noting China keeps the best record on the issues of peace and security, Wang said the country never plots, participates in, or wages wars, nor does it engage in proxy wars. China will continue to hold high the banner of multilateralism, work with the international community, resolutely resist unilateral bullying, firmly oppose power politics, resolutely stop the law of jungle, and promote the building of a more equal and orderly multipolar world, he added.
Balakrishnan said Singapore will continue to firmly adhere to the one-China policy and oppose "Taiwan independence," and will not allow Singapore to be exploited by the separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence."
Balakrishnan said Singapore is willing to work with China, with a forward-looking and strategic vision, to seize the opportunities brought by the development of emerging technologies and deepen cooperation in various fields such as economy, trade, investment and connectivity. Singapore will, together with other ASEAN countries and China, adhere to openness and inclusiveness and defend multilateralism. Enditem
