Guo Jiakun said that China adheres to the path of peaceful development, firmly pursues a defensive national defense policy, and never engages in military expansion. We are willing to work with South Pacific countries to contribute to maintaining peace, stability, development, and prosperity in the South Pacific region.On September 3, Polish Deputy Defense Minister Pawel Zalewski stated that Poland hopes to expand its participation in NATOs nuclear deterrence system, and the issue of participating in related missions under the NATO nuclear sharing framework is currently under discussion.

Spokesperson Huang Ling, responding to comments made by EU Trade and Economic Security Commissioner Šefčovič regarding China-EU trade, emphasized that consultations at all levels between China and the EU should adhere to the stable and balanced positioning of the key China-EU trade partnership, and insist on resolving each others concerns on an equal footing. Unilateral demands, conditions, or even threats of market closures should be avoided. Huang Ling stressed that China has repeatedly reiterated that the EU should face up to its own economic and trade problems. China is not the root cause of these problems, but rather a partner that can help the EU resolve them.
