Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged China and Britain to jointly uphold the international order established after World War II during a phone call with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Tuesday, stressing that the responsibility is 'more pronounced amid unilateral bullying.'
Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized the need for both nations to defend the United Nations-centered international system and safeguard the multilateral trading framework. The remarks come as global institutions face mounting pressure from rising protectionism and geopolitical tensions.
'China and Britain, as permanent members of the UN Security Council, should work together to address global challenges and promote fairness in international relations,' Wang stated, framing the dialogue as part of broader efforts to stabilize global governance mechanisms.
Analysts suggest the exchange highlights Beijing’s focus on multilateral cooperation despite recent trade disputes, offering potential implications for business ties between Asia and Europe.
