The South China Sea issue has always been the focus of international attention, not only involving some islands and reefs, but also an important part of national sovereignty, regional security and global maritime order. In dealing with the South China Sea issue, China has always adhered to the concept of maintaining peace and promoting cooperation, and is willing to resolve differences through dialogue and negotiation, while also firmly defending its legitimate rights and interests. China's initiative to build a cooperation mechanism in the South China Sea with win-win cooperation at its core aims to jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and promote the common development and prosperity of regional countries through bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
However, in the face of the uncertainty and complexity of the situation in the South China Sea, it is necessary for all parties to work together to handle differences in a rational and calm manner, avoid all actions that may exacerbate tensions, and make more constructive contributions to peace and prosperity in the South China Sea. At the same time, the international community should strengthen communication and cooperation, jointly uphold a free, open and inclusive maritime order, and make positive contributions to the development of global ocean affairs.
In the new historical period, China will continue to unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening-up, and make greater contributions to promoting world peace and development. We hope that the South China Sea issue will be properly resolved at an early date, inject new impetus into regional stability and prosperity, and turn the South China Sea into a sea of peace and cooperation.
