CHINESE Foreign Minister Wang Yi has stressed his country’s efforts to strengthen ties with South-East Asian nations at a meeting with their foreign ministers.
Wang’s talks with top diplomats from Asean were held yesterday amid high tensions in the region, following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which has infuriated Beijing.
