On October 29, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, held talks with Icelandic Foreign Minister Gunnarsdottir in Beijing. Wang Yi said that the successful experience in the development of Sino-Belgian relations is to insist that all countries large and small are equal, respect each other's independently chosen development path, and achieve win-win cooperation on the basis of mutual trust. China appreciates that Iceland has always followed the one-China policy. Both sides should continue to strengthen friendship and mutual trust, and support each other in defending sovereignty, security and development interests. The Chinese market is huge and will continue to maintain a high level of openness to the outside world. China is ready to share development opportunities with Iceland, explore the potential for cooperation, strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, geothermal energy, green transformation, the ocean, the Arctic, etc., enhance exchanges in tourism, joint scientific research, talent training, etc., and vigorously promote mutual understanding between the two peoples. Facing the current turbulent international situation, the two sides should strengthen cooperation, jointly safeguard multilateralism, the international rule of law and the central role of the United Nations in international affairs, promote the establishment of a more just and rational global governance system, and make new contributions between the two countries to maintaining world peace and stability.
