Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 3. A Reuters reporter asked a question. The president of Palau, the host country of the 55th Pacific Islands Forum, said today that he hoped member states would reach an agreement to condemn China's missile tests in the region. How did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respond to this? Guo Jiakun said that with regard to the test launch, the Chinese side has stated its position many times. The Palau side has repeatedly hyped it up in an attempt to kidnap the positions of other Pacific Islands Forum member countries. Their intentions are sinister, and their plot will not work. Guo Jiakun said that China adheres to the path of peaceful development, firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy, and never engages in military expansion. We are willing to work with South Pacific countries to contribute to maintaining peace, stability, development and prosperity in the South Pacific region.
