China's endeavor to foster a new form of international relations and build a community with a shared future for mankind will be the overarching goals of China's foreign policy in the years ahead, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said. Wang stated the goals in his keynote speech at a symposium on Saturday in Beijing about the global situation and China's diplomacy. The symposium, attended by diplomats and researchers, was themed on international developments and China's diplomacy in 2017. "For China's diplomacy in the new era, we will take a longer and broader perspective and be even more open-minded and resourceful," he said. The foreign minister reiterated that "war is by no means acceptable" in dealing with the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, stressing that the possibility of negotiation remains.
