China Urges Unity to Combat Climate Change
(MENAFN) China’s foreign minister called on Wednesday for worldwide collaboration to tackle the challenges posed by climate change.
Speaking at a press briefing alongside Kiribati's President and Foreign Minister Taneti Maamau, following the Third China-Pacific Island Countries Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in Xiamen City, Wang Yi emphasized the importance of joint efforts.
He voiced profound disappointment regarding the decision of some key nations to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

Wang underscored that China’s dedication to supporting and actively participating in global climate governance will remain steadfast despite evolving circumstances.
He also highlighted China’s ongoing commitment to advancing South-South cooperation on climate issues.
Furthermore, Beijing intends to unveil a new initiative aimed at strengthening partnerships with Pacific Island countries to confront climate change and promote sustainable development.
Wang added that China plans to execute 100 “small and beautiful” projects focused on climate action for Pacific Island nations over the coming three years.
