China has always actively played a constructive role in
promoting regional and world peace and stability, the Foreign Ministry said
on Tuesday.

On the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, China continued active efforts
to mediate and promote peace and negotiations and helped to promote all
relevant parties to honor their commitments, move toward the same goal,
and implement the second-phase action plan in a comprehensive,
balanced manner.

China was the first country to clearly propose and promote the
three-party (the Sudanese government, African Union and the United Nations)
mechanism and the double-track (peacekeeping actions and political process
moving forward together in balance) strategy, and also the first
beyond Africa to send peacekeeping forces to the Darfur region.

China’s role on the Darfur issue also won appreciation from relevant
countries and various parties in the Darfur region, and its special
representative on the Darfur issue Liu Guijin had visited the region many
times.

As a friendly neighbor to Myanmar where there was turbulence, China
stuck to the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal
affairs, actively conducted communication and consultations with relevant
parties and countries, actively supported the mediation efforts of the
UN secretary-general and played a constructive role in realizing
stability, democracy and development of the country.

The international community had seen more and more clearly that the
settlement of hot-spot issues could not be achieved without Chinese
efforts, said the Ministry.

Since the beginning of the new year, China had continued its efforts to
promote a new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa
and implement the consensus reached at the Beijing Summit of the Forum
on China-Africa Cooperation.

Ghanaian President John Agyekum Kufuor once said that the Chinese
people are true friends and Africa saw that China was unlike colonial
countries but was more like a guest.

China is playing an increasingly important and constructive role in
safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, the Foreign
Ministry added.
