Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi just dropped a major peace move! 🤝 On Thursday, he met with Surakiart Sathirathai, chair of the Asian Peace and Reconciliation Council (APRC), in Hong Kong SAR to celebrate the birth of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed). Think of it as Asia’s new Avengers-style squad for conflict resolution—but with fewer capes and more diplomacy. 🕊️
Wang, a top CPC Central Committee leader, called IOMed a "game-changing option" for solving global disputes through dialogue. "This isn’t just about China—it’s about teamwork," he said, highlighting collabs with ASEAN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and other regional heavyweights. 💼
Surakiart, Thailand’s ex-deputy PM, praised the timing: "With tensions rising worldwide, this initiative hits different." The APRC plans to work closely with China to keep Asia’s peace streak alive. 🎯
Why Hong Kong? The city’s global vibe makes it the perfect HQ for this diplomatic startup. 🌆 No word yet on whether IOMed will get its own TikTok channel, but one thing’s clear: Asia’s doubling down on harmony. 🎶
