The 61st Munich Security Conference (MSC) kicked off on February 14 (local time), bringing together policymakers and experts to discuss pressing global security challenges amid the accelerating rise of multipolarity and a complex geopolitical landscape.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made remarks while answering questions at the "China in the World". He said that even though different parties may have different understandings on international rules, the common understanding is to uphold the international system with the UN as its core, and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
"The world today is witnessing incessant chaos and confusion, and one important reason is that some countries believe might makes right and have opened a Pandora's box marked the law of the jungle," said Wang.
The Chinese FM stressed that all countries, regardless of size or strength, are stakeholders in international rule of law.
"Without norms and standards, one may be at the table yesterday, but end up on the menu tomorrow," he said.
