China expects peaceful, stable ties with Asian countries

BEIJING - Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said at a press conference Monday that Asian countries should forge a peaceful, stable, open and inclusive relationship with the goal of archiving a win-win result.

Three features mark the relations between China and neighboring countries in 2010, Yang said.

-- Deeper mutual trust. Chinese leaders conducted in-depth exchanges with their counterparts in the region and reached many important consensus.

-- Vibrant economy. The economic growth of Asia as a whole was 8.2 percent last year, rendering the region as the engine of the world economy.

-- Mutually-beneficial cooperation. China and neighboring countries promoted the integration process and worked together to solve many thorny issues.

China will stick to the policy of "building friendship and partnership with neighboring countries" and work with neighbors to ensure regional peace and stability so as to create a favorable condition for regional development, Yang said.
