Highlights of press conference on China's foreign policy

Venezuela crisis

China will continue to promote the search of a political settlement to the Venezuela issue and support all parties in Venezuela to carry out peaceful dialogue.

External interference will only escalate tensions and bring back the law of jungle.

The internal affairs of any country should be solved by its own people.

Wang noted that the rights of Latin America countries to develop their relationship with China should be respected and not be interfered with or criticized.

Overseas consular services

China will take new measures in 2019 to offer better consular protection and assistance to Chinese citizens.

One of the measures is that mobile payment will be available in overseas Chinese embassies and consulates to bring more convenience.

China-India relations

China and India should be partners in pursuing their respective dreams and important opportunities for growing each other's economies.

The current priority is to see that the strategic understanding of the two countries' leaders trickles down to the people and becomes the common view.
