China will continue to promote international cooperation to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and develop friendly ties with all nations, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Wang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.

Summarizing China's diplomatic efforts last year, he said the most outstanding endeavor was head-of-state diplomacy and the most resolute effort was the country's determination to defend its national interests.
