Slovenia highly commends China, as a responsible major country, for adhering to multilateralism and setting an example for the international community, Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar said Saturday. She made the remarks in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana when meeting with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. Musar asked Wang to convey her greetings to Chinese President Xi Jinping and highly appreciated China's achievements, especially in its green transformation. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Slovenia and China over 30 years ago, the partnership between the two countries has achieved important results, she said. Musar noted that Slovenia's diplomacy is committed to seeking partners rather than creating confrontation. The country is willing to closely cooperate with China, firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations (UN) at its core, firmly uphold openness, cooperation and free trade, and jointly address global challenges such as climate change, she said. Wang conveyed Xi's greetings. He said that Slovenia practices "small country, big diplomacy" with a global vision, and regards China as a partner rather than a rival, which serves the interests of all parties, including Slovenia itself. China-Slovenia relations transcend differences in social systems and serve as a model of mutual respect and win-win cooperation among countries of different national conditions and sizes, Wang said, adding that a monument set up in Ljubljana last year has become the latest symbol of friendship between the two countries. He said that in the face of a world full of intertwined changes, Xi has proposed the Global Governance Initiative, which aims to reform and improve the global governance system. The five key principles contained in the initiative are in line with the purposes of the Charter of the UN and meet the common expectations of the international community. China will continue to stand by the majority of countries, oppose the world's return to "law of the jungle" and take actions to defend international fairness and justice, Wang said, adding that China is willing to enhance multilateral collaboration with Slovenia, uphold the basic norms governing international relations, promote the political settlement of hotspot issues, and build a more just and equitable global governance system. He called on Slovenia to continue its efforts in promoting China-Europe relations and cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries.
