"For China's diplomacy in the new era, we will take a longer and broader perspective, and be even more open-minded and resourceful in our diplomacy", Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday.
He made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the first session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing, in response to questions on China's foreign policy and external relations.
Wang also said that China will continue to break new ground in pursuing major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in line with the strategic plans of the 19th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress held in October last year.
Since Chinese President Xi Jinping made landmark speeches at the WEF in Davos and at the UN Office at Geneva a year ago, the idea "to build a community with shared future for mankind" has gained wider international recognition for offering China's solutions to cope with global challenges.
China will forge a new type of international relations and build a clean, beautiful world, Wang said. "China will stand up for small and undeveloped countries."
China will continue to treat all countries as equals, address international disputes through peaceful means, and work for greater democracy and the rule of law in international relations.
"We will continue to act as a responsible major country to contribute to world peace, promote global development, and uphold the international order", Wang added.
