Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday said that COVID-19 may have pressed the "pause" button on interaction between countries, but China's diplomacy has not paused for a moment. Speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of the third session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing, Wang outlined the agenda of China's diplomacy and said that China has engaged in "cloud diplomacy" in the form of phone calls, exchange of correspondence and video conferences. "I have almost had over 100 phone calls with foreign ministers of other countries," he said. Wang stressed that President Xi Jinping has personally led China's diplomatic efforts throughout this period, adding "he has engaged with many world leaders and advanced international cooperation as a global statesman."
