中国外交正站在新的历史起点

The world is experiencing profound shifts unseen in a century and the Chinese diplomacy has reached a new starting point, Wang Yi said at a press conference on the sidelines of the second session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing on Friday.

王毅说，双方能够克服障碍，再次聚首，面对面坦诚交换意见，这本身就是积极进展，就值得充分肯定。
