BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhua) -- As this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union (EU), China expects Poland, the holder of the rotating EU presidency, to play a greater constructive role in advancing China-EU relations toward new progress, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during his phone call with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
Poland is an important strategic partner of China in Europe, Wang said, adding that China stands ready to maintain high-level exchanges with Poland and expand practical cooperation across various fields.
Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, Wang said that China is willing to work with Poland to uphold the post-World War II international order, safeguard the central role of the United Nations, and defend the international law and the basic norms governing international relations.
The return of Taiwan to China is an integral part of the victory in World War II and the postwar international order, he said, voicing his hope that Poland will uphold the international consensus, continue to adhere to the one-China policy, and oppose any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist attempts.
Sikorski said that Poland attaches great importance to its relations with China, will adhere to the one-China policy, and is committed to strengthening exchanges at all levels with China, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, jointly maintaining the post-World War II international order, so as to promote the continuous development of Poland-China and EU-China relations.
The two sides also exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis. Wang said that the development of the situation in Ukraine has proved that the four-point proposal by Chinese President Xi Jinping have taken into account the concerns of all parties and is an important guiding principle for promoting the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.
China has always been committed to promoting peace talks and has never given up its peace efforts, including jointly establishing the "Friends of Peace" group with other countries in the Global South, Wang said.
Russia and Ukraine have recently resumed direct negotiations, taking the first step towards peace despite their different positions, Wang said, adding that China expects all parties to further demonstrate their willingness to resolve the crisis politically, and eventually reach a fair, lasting and binding peace agreement through continued dialogue.
Sikorski said that he expects China to continue to play an active role in promoting lasting peace in Europe.
