Call to deliver on disputes pledge

STATE Councillor Yang Jiechi yesterday called on the United States to deliver on its pledge to take no position on territorial disputes.

China respects and protects freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea that all countries enjoy in accordance with international law, Yang said, adding that China hopes the US can play a constructive role in safeguarding peace and stability in the region.

“It is important to protect regional peace and stability,” Yang told a press briefing at China-US talks in Beijing. 

He stressed that territorial and maritime disputes in the South China Sea should be settled through peaceful negotiation by the countries concerned.
