Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 23. President Xi Jinping met with UN Secretary-General Guterres by video in Beijing on the evening of the 23rd.
Xi Jinping emphasized that since its founding 75 years ago, the United Nations has made important contributions to world peace and development.
The international community should take the opportunity of commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations as an opportunity to reiterate its firm support for multilateralism and reiterate its solemn commitment to the UN Charter.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China will firmly support the UN's central role in international affairs and firmly support the work of the UN.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the current new crown pneumonia epidemic is still spreading globally, and the global fight against the epidemic cannot be relaxed.
China is willing to share experience and practices with all parties without reservation, and continue to provide support and assistance to countries in need.
China firmly supports the United Nations system, especially the World Health Organization, to play a key leadership role, strengthen international cooperation and joint prevention and control, and jointly build a human health community.
China will fulfill its commitment to make the vaccine a global public product after its research and development is completed and put it into use, and contribute to the realization of vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the epidemic has spawned many new problems, but in the final analysis, peace and development are inseparable.
The Security Council must play its role as a collective security mechanism, and the permanent members must set an example.
To engage in unilateralism and hegemony will lose popular support.
Xi Jinping emphasized that we must try our best to reduce the impact of the epidemic on the economy and people's livelihood, mobilize global resources and forces, and encourage all parties to take timely and strong measures in debt relief and increase assistance to help developing countries develop and narrow the gap between rich and poor.

Xi Jinping emphasized that development must be sustainable and the relationship between man and nature must be handled well.
China not only strengthens its own ecological civilization construction, but also takes the initiative to take on the international responsibility of responding to climate change, strives to protect the common earth home of mankind, and actively builds the "Green Silk Road" with other countries.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the epidemic has also magnified the problems of inadaptability and mismatch in the global governance system.
All parties should think about how to improve, instead of overthrowing and starting a new one.
There is only one system in the world, that is, the international system with the United Nations as the core; there is only one set of rules, that is, the basic norms of international relations based on the UN Charter.
China never engages in ideological confrontation, never advocates decoupling, and never wants to seek hegemony.
What we think about the most is to enable 1.4 billion Chinese people to lead a better life and make greater contributions to mankind.
However, we will not sit back and watch the damage to national sovereignty, national dignity, and development space. We will firmly safeguard our legitimate rights and interests and safeguard international fairness and justice.
Xi Jinping emphasized that all countries are interconnected and share weal and woe.
We must transcend the boundaries of countries, nations, cultures, and ideologies, stand at the height of all mankind, promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, and jointly build the earth on which we live.
Guterres said that the world is currently facing many crises and challenges such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic and climate change. It needs more multilateralism, more international cooperation, and more needs a strong United Nations.
Thank China for its consistent support for multilateralism and the United Nations.
With the support of China, the United Nations can perform its duties better.
China plays an important role in maintaining world peace and promoting common development.
I highly appreciate President Xi Jinping’s announcement at the United Nations General Assembly a few days ago that China has made a series of major initiatives and measures in implementing multilateralism, addressing climate change, and promoting sustainable development. I support China’s promotion of the joint construction of the "Green Silk Road". China has deepened cooperation with Africa and developing countries.
The United Nations hopes to continue to strengthen cooperation with China and expects China to play a leading role.
I believe that China is fully capable of realizing its own development and making greater contributions to the world.
