The UN Security Council held an open meeting on March 14 to hear a briefing on the work of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Zhang Jun, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, stressed at the meeting that the world needs dialogue and cooperation, and does not need a "new Cold War", and elaborated on China's position and proposition on the current situation in Ukraine.
Zhang Jun pointed out that the international situation is undergoing profound changes and is full of instability and uncertainty. The outbreak of the Ukraine crisis further prompts us to think about how to maintain the peace and stability of the international system and pay more attention to the real way out for universal security and common development.
The general direction of dialogue and cooperation should be adhered to.
The world has entered a new era, and the path of dialogue and cooperation should be wider, not narrower.
Differences in national interests, social systems and ideologies between countries should not be an obstacle to dialogue, much less a reason for confrontation.
Zhang Jun pointed out that the Cold War has long since ended, and the Cold War mentality based on group confrontation should be completely abandoned.
Sticking to the logic of hegemony and provoking confrontation between camps can only bring disaster to the world in the end, exacerbating turmoil and division.
This is true in Europe as well as in other regions.
The world does not need a "new cold war", and the world can fully accommodate the common growth and progress of all countries.
All countries should strengthen solidarity and cooperation under the banner of multilateralism, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
