In Yang's meeting with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, he said that China is willing to make joint efforts with the EU to continuously push forward the China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Yang said that China and the EU, by adhering to the principles of mutual respect and treating each other on an equal footing, should work to expand the positive aspects in bilateral relations, deal with differences in an appropriate way, upkeep the overall situation of Sino-EU relations, and make joint efforts to tackle international challenges.

Ashton noted the increasing coordination and consensus between the EU and China through their exchange of high-level visits and strategic dialogues. She expressed the hope that China will achieve even greater development and that China's 12th Five-Year Plan and the EU's "2020 Strategy" will create more opportunities for bilateral cooperation.

In meeting with Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd, Yang said that high-level visits between the two countries have given a new impetus into bilateral relations. Under the new circumstances, Sino-Australian relations face new development opportunities, he said.

The two sides should continue to promote bilateral relations from a strategic height and a long-term perspective, actively implement the consensus reached by their leaders, strengthen dialogue, deepen cooperation so as to elevate Sino-Australian relations up to a new level on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.

Rudd said both sides have made fruitful achievements in various fields in recent years and that China's efforts to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode will bring more opportunities for bilateral relations.

In a separate meeting with Kim Sung Hwan, the foreign minister of the Republic of Korea (ROK), Yang made positive comments on the favorable exchanges and cooperation, as well as the good communication and coordination between the two countries in both bilateral and multilateral fields.

Yang said that China is willing to make joint efforts with ROK to enhance high-level exchanges, deepen economic and trade cooperation, and accelerate the launch of free trade area talks.

Kim said ROK is satisfied with the development of bilateral relations, and hopes to further enhance the visits and communication between the leaders from both sides and deepen their partnership of bilateral strategic cooperation.

Yang and Kim also exchanged views on the situation in the Korean Peninsula. They agreed that efforts should be made to maintain the peace and stability in the peninsula and Northeast Asia.

During Yang's meeting with Polish Foreign Minister Rodoslaw Sikorski, both sides agreed that bilateral relations are developing well, and that they should make further efforts to enhance bilateral economic and trade cooperation.

The Chinese foreign minister also held talks with Mongolian Foreign Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav on issues including the recent exchange of high-level visits. Yang told Gombojav that China has always attached great importance to Sino-Mongolian relations and is willing to make joint efforts with the Mongolian side to further promote their bilateral relations.

During a meeting with Singaporean Foreign Minister Kasiviswanathan Shanmugam, Yang said that China regards Singapore as an important partner in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and that China would like to further develop bilateral relations and work with Singapore to further promote China-ASEAN relations as well as the peace, stability and development of East Asia.
