He also said all countries should firmly build a sense of community with a shared future for humanity, pursue comprehensive approaches to address both the symptoms and root causes of terrorism, practise multilateralism to pool counter-terrorism efforts, strengthen capacity building to address technological shortcomings, and strictly observe international rule of law to consolidate the foundation for cooperation.
“China stands ready to work with all parties to unite against the threats and challenges of terrorism under the guidance of the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity,” Zhai said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the participating guests held that the international counter-terrorism landscape is complex and severe, with global peace and tranquillity facing multiple crises.
“Factors such as geopolitical conflicts and turmoil, unbalanced economic development, the misuse of emerging technologies, and inadequate counter-terrorism capabilities have exacerbated the spread and escalation of terrorist activities. All countries should earnestly fulfil their international counter-terrorism responsibilities, build consensus and pool efforts, oppose the politicisation and instrumentalisation of counter-terrorism as well as double standards, deepen international counter-terrorism cooperation, strengthen comprehensive governance, enhance counter-terrorism effectiveness, and curb the misuse of emerging technologies,” the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
