During the meeting, China presented a four-point proposal aimed at fostering peace and stability in the region. This proposal emphasizes peaceful coexistence, respect for national sovereignty, adherence to international law with rejection of double standards, and a holistic approach to development and security. China advocates for regional countries to resolve their own affairs through dialogue and consultation, distinguishing its approach from Western hegemonic diplomacy and offering tangible economic cooperation as a means to dilute geopolitical animosity and promote lasting peace.
