Wang Yi expressed that & ldquo; 9· 11” It's been 20 years since the incident. First of all, we should once again extend our deep condolences to the people who lost their precious lives in the catastrophe.
Wang Yi pointed out that terrorism is a public enemy of mankind, regardless of national boundaries, races, or good or bad. No matter what form it appears, no matter when and where, it must be resolutely cracked down on. Practice over the past 20 years has proved that counter-terrorism needs to be consistent, address both the symptoms and root causes, and the international community needs to work together. Selective counter-terrorism will eventually bear its own fruit. Pursuing double standards is not in line with international justice. Linking with specific nationalities and religions will only promote discrimination and prejudice.
Wang Yi stressed that novel coronavirus pneumonia is still raging in the world today. The threat of climate change to the environment is becoming increasingly urgent. Drug smuggling crimes are spreading in various countries. We are facing more and more global challenges, and there is an urgent need for a global response. More than ever, the international community needs to work together to overcome difficulties. The world is a global village and mankind is a community of common destiny. At a time when unity and cooperation among countries are most needed, advocating division is a reversal of history, provoking confrontation, going against the trend of the times and hyping & ldquo; New Cold War & rdquo; Will fall into & ldquo; Old pattern & rdquo;. The correct choice is for all countries in the world to join hands to jointly defend the international system with the United Nations as the core, jointly maintain the international order based on international law, jointly practice real multilateralism, jointly overcome all kinds of global challenges and create a better future for human society.
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on September 10, a reporter asked: September 11 this year is & ldquo; 9· 11” The 20th anniversary of the incident. What is China's comment on this? What are your views on the current international counter-terrorism situation?
Zhao Lijian: September 11 this year is & ldquo; 9· 11” The 20th anniversary of the incident. Over the past 20 years, international counter-terrorism cooperation has made important progress, but the current international counter-terrorism situation is still complex and grim. Terrorism is the public enemy of human society. Combating terrorism is the common responsibility of the international community. All countries must work together and make comprehensive measures, give play to the central coordinating role of the United Nations in international counter-terrorism cooperation, pay attention to eliminating the root causes of terrorism, and strive to solve prominent problems such as the abuse of emerging technologies by terrorists, Meanwhile, novel coronavirus pneumonia should be used to incite terrorist activities by terrorist forces.
Combating terrorism must abandon & ldquo; Double standards & rdquo;. Terrorists are terrorists. Defining who is a terrorist according to political self-interest is actually condoning terrorist activities. It has seriously damaged the overall situation of international counter-terrorism cooperation. Nor can the fight against terrorism be marked by ideology. We are firmly opposed to attacking legitimate measures to discredit the anti-terrorism and depolarization of other countries under the guise of protecting the freedom of ethnic minorities and religions, and seeking geopolitical self-interest by conniving at or even using terrorist organizations.
“ 9· 11” After the incident, the war in Afghanistan launched by the United States lasted for 20 years. Not only did it not eliminate the terrorist threat, but there was a significant increase in terrorist organizations and foreign terrorists in Afghanistan. The United States is the initiator of the Afghan problem and should learn a profound lesson. The end of US military intervention should be the beginning of real responsibility. The United States is more obliged than any other country to provide economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people. On the premise of respecting Afghanistan's sovereignty and independence, the United States will help Afghanistan maintain stability and prevent chaos, curb the threat of terrorism and move towards sound development.
