Beijing (People's Daily) - China's development is an opportunity and contribution to the world, rather than a challenge or threat, said Le Yucheng, the Vice Minister of Chinese Foreign Ministry during a lunch meeting on the 8th World Peace Forum on Monday.

He stressed that China's door will not be closed and will only open wider and the world will witness that China will never build any wall or decouple from any other country. 

"On the contrary, China will have lower tariffs, a shorter negative list, easier market access and more transparent market rules. A more open China will have more positive interactions with the world and create more opportunities and make greater contribution to the world", he said.

Organized by Tsinghua University in partnership with the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, the forum is a high-level non-governmental seminar focusing on international security topics.
