StateCouncilorandForeignMinisterWangYiMeetsthePress

王毅国务委员兼外交部长年两会记者会

王毅：各位记者朋友，大家好！今年的记者会仍然是一场以视频方式同大家见面的特殊记者会。中国尽管已经有效控制住疫情，但还有不少国家仍在同病毒奋勇抗争。只要还有一个国家存在疫情，国际社会团结抗疫的努力就不应停止；只要还有一个人感染病毒，我们就都有责任向他伸出援手。团结就是力量，坚持就是胜利，曙光已在前头。中国愿继续与各国团结合作，为人类彻底战胜疫情而作出不懈努力。下面，我愿回答大家提出的问题。

中央广播电视总台央视记者：年无论是对世界各国还是对中国来说都是极不平凡的一年，我想请问您如何评价过去这一年的中国外交？今年中国外交又将有哪些重点和亮点？谢谢。
