Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a virtual press conference on the sidelines of the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing on Monday. 

He answered questions related to foreign policy matters from foreign and Chinese journalists.

"Faced with challenges of a global nature, no country can stay alone or unaffected. We must pull together in these trying times, enhance communication and coordination on COVID-19, terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and other global issues, build maximum consensus, and purse convergence of interest wherever possible," the foreign minister said.
