Reference News Network, September 19 - According to RIA Novosti on September 17, Zhang Youxia, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, said on the 17th that the Chinese military is willing to continue working with all parties to deepen and expand military exchanges and cooperation in all fields and at all levels.

According to the report, Zhang Youxia said at the welcome dinner held during the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that the Chinese side sincerely hopes that all participants will uphold the original intention of peaceful coexistence, be confident in win-win cooperation, strengthen the bonds of friendship, conduct equal dialogue and consultation, discuss security issues freely, and safeguard common interests, making new and greater contributions to achieving lasting peace and universal security in the world.

He said: "In this new era and new journey, the Chinese military is willing to continue working with all parties to deepen and expand military exchanges and cooperation in all fields and at all levels. We should respond to new threats and challenges through great unity and great cooperation, and inject more stability into a world in turmoil and transformation."

According to Sputnik News on September 18, on the 18th, Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun, in his keynote speech at the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, stated that in an era full of challenges, cooperation is the best choice.

He said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. At this important moment of remembering history and creating a better future, we must adhere to the correct view of the history of the Second World War, firmly safeguard historical justice, and gather the broadest possible consensus.

He said that the Chinese military is willing to work with all parties to safeguard the principle of equality of sovereignty, protect the post-war order, support multilateralism, and maintain common interests. We should jointly promote the reform and improvement of the global governance system. We must practice the right path of safeguarding peace, advocate the concept of peace, act as a stabilizing force for peace, develop friendly relations of peace, and provide positive energy for the long-term stability of the world.

Dong Jun said that in an era full of challenges, cooperation is the best choice. The Chinese military will work with all parties to build a security barrier through concrete actions, continuously deepen military trust, strengthen multilateral cooperation, improve the quality and effectiveness of cooperation, and perfect the cooperation mechanism, making new and greater contributions to maintaining world peace and building a community with a shared future for humanity.

When talking about the Taiwan issue, he said that Taiwan's return to China is an important part of the post-war international order. The historical and legal facts that Taiwan belongs to China are beyond doubt. The People's Liberation Army has always been an invincible and powerful force to safeguard national reunification, and will never allow any "Taiwan independence" separatist plot to succeed.

According to the German website Berliner Zeitung on September 17, Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance's foreign policy expert Sevim Dağdelen will attend the Beijing Xiangshan Forum. In an interview with Berliner Zeitung, she said that the Beijing conference focuses on peaceful development and the common security as the basis for peace.

The report said that during the meeting, Dağdelen will participate in discussions on the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the international order formed as a result. She said that many participants in Beijing deeply agree with the view that "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

Dağdelen said: "The victory over German fascism and Japanese militarism created the conditions for establishing a multipolar world order. However, the United States and its Western allies still rely on a unipolar system and refuse to accept the new reality." What is discussed at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum is how to strengthen the role of the United Nations as a platform for a multipolar world."

Dağdelen said that the Global South focuses on diplomacy, common security, and economic cooperation, while the West isolates itself through economic warfare and geopolitical proxy conflicts.

This expert pointed out that she hopes the diplomatic efforts and spirit of mutual respect felt at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum can also receive more support in Western capitals.
