Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen has said China always stands on the side of peace and morality and its proposals do not target any specific country, nor exclude any party.
"China adheres to true multilateralism. In China’s belief, issues that matter to all shall be addressed through consultation among all," he said while speaking at the “Spring Dialogue with China” held at the Embassy of China in Bangladesh on Tuesday.
The Chinese Modernization does not resort to war, colonization or plundering, said the Ambassador, adding that it commits to peace, development, cooperation, and win-win results, and insists on harmonious coexistence between mankind and Mother Nature.
Ambassador Yao concluded his opening remarks by assuring that China will keep in mind the interests of the world, take an active part in global governance, and cooperate with the international community, including Bangladesh, to tackle the deficit in peace, security, development and governance, and contribute more to world peace and human progress.
The Ambassador had an in-depth talk with Inam Ahmed, Editor of The Business Standard, and answered questions from the audience.
Ambassador Yao first introduced the “Two Sessions” recently closed in China. He said that the “Two Sessions” this year is the first of its kind since the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which makes it unique.
He underscored the significance and relevance of the dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran under the mediation of China.
The improvement of Saudi-Iranian relations has opened the way for peace and stability in the Middle East and set an example for resolving conflicts between countries through dialogue and consultation, said the envoy.
"This is a victory for dialogue and for peace.”
