 "We should safeguard and expand our common interests, properly address each 
other's concerns through consultations on an equal footing in the spirit of 
mutual accommodation, and have more dialogues to increase our mutual 
understanding and trust," he said. 
 Disputes should be settled through dialogue and co-operation, and should not 
resort to the use or threat of force on the slightest provocation, Wu said. 
 "We should get rid of Cold War thinking and broaden the converging points of 
our common interests, notwithstanding the differences in social systems and 
ideologies." 
 On the one hand, the international community needs to turn its ear more often 
to developing countries, defend their legitimate rights and interests, and push 
the world economy towards balanced and steady development and a win-win scenario 
to the benefit of all, Wu said. 
 On the other, developing countries need to speed up the improvement of 
people's livelihoods, to draw on the fruits of world civilizations in light of 
their own national conditions, and keep building their capacity for 
self-development, Wu said.
