Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna on Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
Estonia is an important cooperation partner for China in the Baltic region. Friendly cooperation is the main theme of bilateral relations, aligning with the shared expectations of both peoples and representing the direction both sides should continue to pursue, Wang said, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
While China and Estonia have different histories, cultures and environments, and face different challenges, this does not hinder the two countries from strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation to serve the well-being of their people. Wang added that this also does not affect their joint efforts to safeguard international peace and security based on respect for the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. China is willing to continuously enhance mutual trust with Estonia, respect each other’s legitimate concerns on core interests, and lay a solid political foundation to inject vitality into improving bilateral relations, Wang stated.
