Defense Minister Dong Jun on Wednesday said the Chinese military is ready to work with all parties to jointly safeguard international and regional stability, foster a favorable security environment, and provide a guarantee for peaceful development.

He made the remarks during separate talks with the defense chiefs of Thailand, Mongolia, Cambodia and Singapore, who were in Beijing for the 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that ran from Tuesday to Thursday.

In global governance, stagnation is regression. At such a critical juncture, pursuing peace and development, promoting cooperation and upholding justice are the shared aspirations of all, Dong said.

During the Beijing Xiangshan Forum, the door is open for dialogue, different voices are heard, and all countries are treated as equals as they seek solutions to major issues, build consensus while setting aside differences, and pursue peace and cooperation by pooling wisdom and proposals to address problems, he said.

Themed "Build Consensus on Stability, Advance Security Governance Together," this year's forum drew attendees from almost 100 countries, regions and international organizations.
