中美外长在马尼拉会晤

对话不停歇，和平仍是最大公约数

在菲律宾马尼拉举行的东盟（ASEAN）系列外长会议期间，美国国务卿Marco Rubio与中国外交部长王毅举行约90分鐘双边会谈。这是两国近期最重要的高层外交接触之一，双方就中美关係、区域安全、南海局势、台湾问题及未来领导人互访等议题交换意见。

儘管中美在贸易、科技、安全及地缘政治等方面仍存在重大分歧，但双方一致认為，保持沟通比对抗更重要。会谈亦為预计今年稍后举行的中美元首会晤铺路，希望透过持续对话，降低误判风险，维持世界两大经济体关係的稳定。

值得注意的是，南海问题依然是此次会谈的重要议题。美方重申对菲律宾安全承诺，并对近期南海紧张局势表示关切；中方则重申其在南海问题上的立场，双方均认為应透过外交渠道妥善管控分歧。

当前世界正面临地区冲突、能源安全、全球经济復甦及供应链重组等多重挑战。中美关係不仅影响两国人民，也深刻牵动全球和平与繁荣。对话不能解决所有问题，但停止对话往往会使问题更加复杂。

世界期待，中美两国在竞争中保持理性，在分歧中寻求合作，在挑战中共同承担责任。唯有以对话代替对抗，以合作取代冲突，才能為亚洲乃至全世界带来更稳定、更和平的未来。

U.S. and Chinese Foreign Ministers Meet in Manila

Dialogue Remains the Strongest Foundation for Peace

During the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meetings in Manila, Philippines, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a bilateral meeting lasting approximately 90 minutes. The discussion marked one of the most significant high-level diplomatic engagements between the United States and China in recent months.

The two leaders exchanged views on a wide range of issues, including U.S.-China relations, regional security, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, economic cooperation, and preparations for a possible meeting between the two presidents later this year. Although differences remain on many strategic issues, both sides agreed that maintaining open channels of communication is essential to preventing misunderstandings and preserving stability.

The South China Sea was a central topic of discussion. The United States reaffirmed its commitment to regional security and its alliance with the Philippines, while China reiterated its longstanding position on territorial issues. Despite their differences, both governments emphasized the importance of managing disputes through diplomacy and avoiding actions that could increase tensions.

At a time when the world continues to face geopolitical conflicts, economic uncertainty, supply chain challenges, and security concerns, constructive engagement between the world’s two largest economies carries global significance. Every meaningful dialogue between Washington and Beijing helps reduce the risk of confrontation and creates opportunities for cooperation on issues of shared interest.

Dialogue alone cannot resolve every disagreement, but the absence of dialogue often allows conflicts to grow. The international community hopes that both nations will continue to communicate with mutual respect, manage their differences responsibly, and expand cooperation wherever possible.

Peace, stability, and prosperity depend not only on competition, but also on wisdom, restraint, and the willingness to keep talking. As the United States and China continue their engagement, the world watches with cautious optimism, hoping that diplomacy will prevail over confrontation.
