Beijing, October 24th (Xinhua) — China will always be a trusted partner of the United Nations
October 24th is United Nations Day and also the 80th anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Charter. For 80 years, the international system centered around the United Nations has supported the stability and prosperity of the world, ensured the basic pattern of overall peace, and promoted the significant progress of human civilization.
As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China has always firmly stood on the right side of history, adhered to true multilateralism, defended world peace, promoted common development, committed to promoting the reform and improvement of the global governance system, and is a firm supporter and active participant in the United Nations cause. As UN Secretary General Guterres has said, China is a strong pillar of the United Nations and multilateralism.
China adheres to the path of peaceful development, does not engage in aggression or expansion, and does not seek spheres of influence. It is the great power with the best record of peace and security. China is the only country among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council that has pledged not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, actively participating in international arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation processes, and making positive contributions to promoting international peace and security and maintaining global strategic stability. China actively participates in United Nations peacekeeping operations and is the second largest contributor to UN peacekeeping operations and the largest troop contributor among permanent members of the Security Council. Over the past few decades, China has dispatched more than 50000 peacekeeping personnel. China’s’ blue helmet ‘has won praise from the international community as a key factor and force in peacekeeping operations.
China has always been a builder of world peace. After the outbreak of a new round of Israeli Palestinian conflict, China pushed for the United Nations Security Council to pass the first Gaza ceasefire resolution and issued a position paper on a political solution to the Israeli Palestinian issue; This year, China, together with like-minded countries, initiated the establishment of the International Mediation Institute as a beneficial supplement to the existing mechanism for peaceful dispute resolution… Guterres said, “China’s peaceful development is a noble cause in human history, which is conducive to the peace and progress of all mankind
China has always been an important contributor to global development. From the joint construction of the “the Belt and Road” cooperation achievements that benefit the people of more than 150 countries, to the global development initiative that mobilized more than 23 billion dollars to support the development and revitalization of the global South, and launched more than 1800 cooperation projects; From the establishment of the China United Nations Peace and Development Fund to carry out over 200 practical cooperation projects in more than 100 countries, to the creation of the Global Development and South South Cooperation Fund benefiting 60 southern countries and 30 million people… Each major landmark project and “small but beautiful” livelihood project has become a vivid footnote to China’s efforts to benefit the world and establish its own talents, witnessing China’s empowerment in implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through practical actions.
As the world’s largest developing country, China advocates for promoting more inclusive, inclusive, and resilient global development. Urge developed countries to effectively fulfill their development aid and climate financing commitments; Call for accelerating the reform of multilateral financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank; Promoting the inclusive sharing of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data… China defends the development rights of the global South on various multilateral platforms of the United Nations. Today’s European news website published an article pointing out that China’s development has never been unique, but lies in the abundance of spring scenery.
Faced with endless global challenges and the increasing deficits in peace, development, security, and governance, the development of the United Nations has reached a crossroads in history. As a responsible major country, China has put forward global development initiatives, global security initiatives, global civilization initiatives, and global governance initiatives to better uphold and practice true multilateralism, and promote the construction of a more just and reasonable global governance system. The four global initiatives are in line with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, forming an organic whole that promotes prosperity through development, ensures stability through security, enhances mutual trust through civilization, and seeks justice through governance.
Never forget your original intention, only then can you stay true. No matter how the international situation changes, China will always be a trusted partner of the United Nations. We will uphold the ideals of the United Nations, promote the spirit of multilateralism, and work together with other countries to forge ahead towards the lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind, creating a bright future of lasting peace and common prosperity for mankind.
