Foreign Minister Wang Yi: Stick to the diplomatic front without fear of fatigue
At the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made an appearance to attend this important sports event. Judging from Wang Yi's recently announced itinerary, he hardly had any chance to rest, showing a high degree of dedication and dedication to diplomatic work. In the video of the Asian Games scene, although his overall mental state is good, his face shows a hint of fatigue.
After returning to the post of foreign minister on July 25 this year, Wang Yi began a high-intensity work. On July 26, he appeared in Turkey for a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Feidan. In August, the "Ren'ai Jiao Incident" broke out between China and the Philippines, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Singapore, Malaysia and Cambodia, making important contributions to establishing China's voice in Southeast Asia and resolving the issue peacefully through diplomatic means.
In September, Foreign Minister Wang Yi's itinerary attracted much attention. After his work in Beijing, he flew to Malta on September 16, where he held 12-hour talks with U.S. National Security Adviser Sullivan. The Sino-US meeting has always been the focus of global attention, and this meeting is of great significance. In addition, Foreign Minister Wang Yi also met with the President and Foreign Minister of Malta and other high-level officials.
After concluding his talks with Sullivan, Foreign Minister Wang Yi went to Russia for a four-day visit on September 18. He met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Security Council Secretary Patrushev and other high-level Russian officials, and chaired the 18th round of China-Russia strategic security consultations. While in Moscow, he also held security talks with the Mongolian side and trilateral consultations between China, Mongolia and Russia. On September 20, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in St. Petersburg, and the two sides conducted in-depth exchanges on China-Russia relations and the world situation.
On September 22, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held an in-depth discussion with French Presidential Foreign Affairs Adviser Bonaton through a teleconference to discuss China-France relations and the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership. Finally, on September 23, Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Judging from the itinerary throughout September, Minister Wang Yi worked intensively for nearly 10 consecutive days. In October, Beijing will hold the third Belt and Road Summit, when more than 110 heads of state and high-level figures will arrive in Beijing, which will once again bring a "diplomatic boom". For Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the work intensity is still very large.
At present, in the face of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the intensification of Sino-US confrontation, China's diplomacy is facing unprecedented pressure. The United States and other Western countries continue to suppress China, and the Biden administration adopts the "small circle" strategy to isolate China. In this external environment, Foreign Minister Wang Yi bravely faced challenges, regardless of hard work and fatigue, contributed to China's diplomatic cause, and won the admiration and admiration of the Chinese people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, 70 years old has reached the stage of raising old age and enjoying family warmth. However, Minister Wang Yi chose to persist in diplomatic work and continue to work hard for the country's diplomatic cause. We should pay high tribute to these veterans with gratitude. They remained on the diplomatic front at an advanced age, contributing countless efforts and sweat to our country. Their dedication is an example for us to learn from and the best tribute we can pay to them.
