Wang Wenbin is the second French-speaking diplomat to step onto the spokesperson's podium, after former Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan.

At the end of the regular press conference that day, Wang Wenbin, who was wearing the same tie as his first appearance, said: "Thank you for attending the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we will see you soon!" ”
