FM: China backs Islamic way for solution

State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on March 22 that China will continue to support Islamic countries using Islamic wisdom to resolve hot spot issues and find solutions to maintaining stability and promoting peace.

Wang made the remark when addressing the 48th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. The OIC is the world’s second-largest intergovernmental body after the United Nations, with 57 members across four continents.

Noting it is the first time a Chinese foreign minister has been invited to attend an OIC foreign ministers’ meeting, Wang said it fully shows sincerity for China and the Islamic world to enhance exchanges and cooperation, and that the effort is bound to elevate bilateral ties to a new level.
