Xinhua News Agency, United Nations, October 24. Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, delivered a video speech on the occasion of "United Nations Day" on the 24th, calling for support for multilateralism, support for the United Nations, and strengthening international solidarity and cooperation.

People of all countries are thinking: What kind of United Nations do we need?
How to build a community with a shared future for mankind?
In the series of high-level meetings on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, President Xi Jinping proposed China’s plan, that is: there is only one system in the world, the international system with the United Nations at its core; and there is only one set of rules, based on the United Nations Charter. The basic norms of international relations; in the post-epidemic era, the United Nations should uphold justice, enforce the rule of law, promote cooperation, and focus on action.
Zhang Jun pointed out that the new crown epidemic shows us that the destiny of mankind is closely linked. Only by supporting multilateralism, supporting the United Nations, and strengthening international solidarity and cooperation can we overcome the epidemic and better respond to various global challenges.
China will continue to firmly support multilateralism, the UN Charter and international law, and the United Nations.
Let us work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
On October 24, 1945, the "United Nations Charter" entered into force, marking the official establishment of the United Nations.
In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to formally determine October 24 every year as "United Nations Day."
