China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, in a press conference in Beijing last week, stated that the meeting is an important one as PICs are comprehensive strategic partners who share the commitment to mutual respect and common development.
This meeting is being held in China for the first time.
The China-Pacific Islands Foreign Ministers meeting is anticipated to involve in-depth exchanges and cooperation between China and the region on all aspects and issues of mutual interest.
