On June 27, 2013, Foreign Minister Wang Yi made remarks at the luncheon of the second World Peace Forum, expounding the ideas and proposals on Major-Country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics.

Wang Yi said that today, China is already standing under the world's limelight. The world expects China to make greater contribution to world peace and common development. Through our more proactive diplomacy, China is ready to respond to the international community's expectation by connecting China's domestic situation with the world's situation and identifying the shared interests between China and other parties.

Wang Yi expressed that China will actively build a new model of major-country relationship and work relentlessly for durable world peace. China will continue to take its surrounding region as a priority in its diplomacy and foster a more peaceful, stable and prosperous neighboring environment that sustains development. China will vigorously uphold a new concept of morality and interests and establish a community of shared destinies with other developing countries. When developing countries need China, China will always be there, ready to help. China will open up still wider. We will upgrade not only the Chinese economy, but China's opening up and its international cooperation so as to share opportunities and deliver common prosperity with the world. China will take a more active part in the handling of international and regional hotspot issues and shoulder its due responsibilities for world stability and tranquility. China will continue to maintain the present international order and the universally recognized international norms and more actively participate in the reform and improvement of the international system. We will adhere to the concept of putting people's interests first and conducting diplomacy for the people and earnestly safeguard the lawful rights and interests of Chinese nationals overseas. Only by merging with and benefiting the people can we win trust and support from the people, ensure that our cause is put in an invincible position and keep moving forward.
