According to Chinese media, Wang met Papua New Guinea's foreign minister on the margins of a multilateral meeting to discuss bilateral cooperation and regional issues — a move to strengthen communication with Pacific island states.

Pacific island states draw high international attention on climate change, marine resources, and development cooperation, and many countries are seeking to broaden ties with them.

China has expanded cooperation with island states centered on infrastructure, trade, and people-to-people exchange, and diplomacy around the region is itself a topic of interest in international politics.

The Sinobridge Times conveys the fact of the meeting and its agenda neutrally rather than through any single country's viewpoint. Dialogue spanning small and large states aids regional stability.

Chinese communities are rooted in Pacific island states too, so the direction of regional cooperation connects to local Chinese residents' lives and businesses.
