China praises “new foundation” of friendship with Russia – and relies on global south. Wang Yi praises China as a force for peace and the ‘new foundations’ of relations with Russia.
At his press conference he focused on more power for developing countries. China has just mediated a peace agreement in northern Myanmar, said Wang. The biggest coup for China so far is a reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran in 2023, which Wang Yi himself brokered. This is part of Beijing's efforts to unite the global south and resolve conflicts through political means.
