BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday China will work in solidarity and collaboration with the international community to bring dynamism to world peace and development and promote greater progress in human development.

"Asia's time" will come in global governance, Wang said. "We will take an active part, suggest ideas for the way forward, continue to hold high the banner of true multilateralism, and contribute more Chinese wisdom and Asian energy to the reform and improvement of the global governance system."

He also noted China will fully implement the Global Vaccine Cooperation Action Initiative, actively carry out cooperation on COVID drug research and development, uphold international solidarity, and foster international synergy to enhance preparedness against future pandemics.

Wang vowed China's efforts to continue to resolutely safeguard China's core interests, adding that "we will resolutely and forcefully fight off any attempt to undermine China's sovereignty, security and development interests, and will firmly and effectively fight back against any move to undermine the Chinese people's legitimate rights and interests."

China will implement well the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and work to advance China's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, he added.
