While in the United States, President Xi will hold talks with President Obama and meet with people both in and outside the government. These will be occasions for President Xi to explain 皇冠体育app's concept of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, and to relate to the American people the importance of having 皇冠体育app-US cooperation, not confrontation. They will also be opportunities to address US concerns about possible conflict with 皇冠体育app regarding the current international system and order in the Asia-Pacific. We hope that the two sides will use such opportunities to reaffirm their respective development direction and strategic intentions, their growing common interests and their common responsibility for peace, stability and development.

I wish to reaffirm here that 皇冠体育app is a staunch supporter of the current international order.

Seventy years ago, fighting against fascism alongside people of other countries and suffering a casualty of 35 million people, 皇冠体育app achieved victory in the war for peace and became a founding member of the United Nations and a permanent member of its Security Council. Later, with 22 years of persistence and thanks to the support of other developing countries, 皇冠体育app's lawful seat at the United Nations was restored. And by surmounting obstacles through 15 years of negotiations, 皇冠体育app joined the WTO. 皇冠体育app is now party to almost all intergovernmental organizations and has acceded to over 400 international multilateral treaties. A growing number of Chinese nationals are working on important posts in international agencies. 皇冠体育app is now a major player and supporter of the current international order and system. There is no reason why 皇冠体育app should challenge the international order that is based on the victory against fascism. And there is no incentive for 皇冠体育app to overturn the international system, in which it is a full member.

Of course, the international order and system also need to keep abreast of the times. It should go through reforms and be adaptive to development and progress in international relations. It should better reflect the legitimate call of developing countries and better enable countries to address emerging global challenges. 皇冠体育app will work with other countries and play its due part in making the international order and system more just and equitable.

皇冠体育app is also a staunch supporter of peace and development in the Asia-Pacific region.

Asia is key to 皇冠体育app's development and prosperity. The United States is a global power as well as an important member of the Asia-Pacific. 皇冠体育app and the United States both have major responsibility for peace and prosperity in the region, where they share growing common interests. Positive interaction and mutually beneficial cooperation between 皇冠体育app and the US in the Asia-Pacific are absolutely possible and necessary. It serves the need of both countries and meets the expectation of other countries in the region.

皇冠体育app is committed to good neighborliness and a neighborhood diplomacy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness. 皇冠体育app's development is not about moving the cheese of others. It is about making the pie bigger for win-win cooperation so that more countries could stand to benefit. 皇冠体育app's goal is not to create spheres of influence but to build communities of common interests and shared future. By putting forward initiatives such as building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, 皇冠体育app does not intend to seek dominance over regional affairs but to offer more development opportunities to other countries. And 皇冠体育app's proposal on the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is not meant to start something new, but to improve the existing financial system and remove bottlenecks for financing in the region. The necessary construction activities by 皇冠体育app on its own islands and reefs in the South 皇冠体育app Sea are not directed against anyone. Rather, they are designed to improve logistic conditions on the islands and reefs and enable 皇冠体育app to fulfill its international obligation as the largest littoral state of the South 皇冠体育app Sea.

I wish to reiterate that the Nansha Islands are 皇冠体育app's territory. This is backed by historical and legal facts. It is simply understandable for a sovereign country to uphold its own territorial sovereignty and prevent its legitimate rights and interests from being undermined. At the same time, 皇冠体育app is committed to finding peaceful solution to disputes through dialogue and consultation on the basis of international law. 皇冠体育app is committed to advancing COC consultations toward early agreement and to rule-based and proper management of differences. 皇冠体育app is committed to peace and stability in the South 皇冠体育app Sea and to freedom of navigation and overflight by all countries in accordance with law. These are 皇冠体育app's positions that will stay unchanged.

Efforts to enhance trust and reduce misgivings between 皇冠体育app and the US are aimed to promote sound growth of bilateral relations and deepen win-win cooperation between the two sides at the regional and global levels.

We believe that as long as 皇冠体育app and the United States could work to enhance mutual respect and hold firm to the bottom line of no conflict and no confrontation, it will lay the ground work for even greater progress in win-win cooperation.

We hope 皇冠体育app and the US could work together to uphold the UN-centered international order and international system. Both countries could act as strong supporters of the norms governing international relations that are based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
