　　Gain insight into the future in the crisis and guide the course in the mist.

The world looks forward to the Chinese voice on the UN forum.

"We support the international community using this as an opportunity to renew its commitment to multilateralism"

　　The 75th UN General Assembly, which kicked off on September 15th, was a UN General Assembly held during a special period.

　　The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging around the world, with hundreds of thousands of new diagnoses every day and thousands of people losing their lives in the fight against the virus.

　　When "retiring groups" and "broken contracts" become more and more intense, and "to throw away the pot" and "to blame" ceaselessly, what kind of United Nations do people need?

　　On the evening of March 12, President Xi Jinping declared China's position during the call with UN Secretary-General Guterres--

　　"This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. We support the international community to use this as an opportunity to reiterate its commitment to multilateralism and strengthen and improve the global governance system with the United Nations at its core. China will continue to support the work of the United Nations."

　　From Geneva to Beijing, from Buenos Aires to Osaka, from face-to-face meetings to telephone communication and letter exchanges... In recent years, President Xi Jinping has maintained close communication with the heads of UN agencies.

　　"The United Nations is the banner of multilateralism." "Multilateralism is the only way that is most in line with the interests of the people of all countries." "The more complicated and severe the situation is, the more the authority and role of the United Nations must be demonstrated." These theories made by President Xi Jinping express China's firmness. position.

　　Multilateralism is the most distinctive mark of the United Nations.

　　"We, the people of the United Nations, are determined to save future generations from the scourge of wars that have been tragic for this generation of mankind... We should live in harmony with each other in the way of good neighbors, and concentrate our efforts to maintain international peace and security..."

　　75 years ago, the UN Charter laid the cornerstone of multilateralism and established the basic norms for post-war international relations.

　　For 75 years, under the banner of multilateralism, global peace and stability have been maintained on the whole, new world wars have been avoided, and many local conflicts have been brought under control.

Resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation and mediating disputes through mediation have become the consensus of most countries in the world.

　　However, when mankind is about to enter the third decade of the 21st century, individual countries have gone further and further on the divergent path of unilateralism, and the international system with the United Nations at its core has been severely impacted.

　　In the changing situation, foresight and will are particularly important.

　　"The most basic principle of multilateralism is that international affairs must be negotiated by all countries, handled in accordance with the rules agreed by everyone, and the interests and concerns of all countries must be taken into consideration." President Xi Jinping emphasized.

　　As the first country to sign the UN Charter, as the largest developing country and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has consistently adhered to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter——

　　From actively participating in the resolution of major regional hotspot issues to fully implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; from taking the lead in signing and approving the Paris Agreement on climate change, to joining more than 500 international conventions... Adhere to the path of peaceful development and win-win cooperation China, with practical actions, fulfills its solemn commitment to "always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order."

　　China has become the country with the largest number of UN peacekeeping standby forces and the most complete types of units; China-United Nations Peace and Development Fund has carried out more than 80 projects; "6 100s", South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund, etc. have injected impetus into global sustainable development; China has become the developing country with the most donations to UN Women...

　　The series of major initiatives and measures to support the cause of the United Nations announced by President Xi Jinping at the United Nations Headquarters in New York five years ago have yielded fruitful results today.

　　"China's support is vital to multilateralism." Guterres lamented that in a world full of uncertainty, China firmly upholds multilateralism, upholds fairness and justice, upholds the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and gives the world certainty. Sex, confidence and hope.

"In the face of a major crisis, no country can take care of itself. Unity and cooperation are the right way in the world."

　　The new crown pneumonia epidemic is the most serious infectious disease pandemic in the world in a century and a major test for all mankind.

　　"The new crown virus pandemic is becoming a'game changer' for international peace and security, and the world is entering a new stage of turbulence and instability." Guterres warned.

　　In the face of crises, China upholds the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and stands firmly with the United Nations and the common interests of mankind.

　　President Xi Jinping intensively carried out "cloud" diplomacy through videos, phone calls, letters and other forms, attended many major multilateral events, and put forward major initiatives to build a human health community, injecting confidence and strength into the world under the epidemic.

　　The scene three months ago is vividly vividly-

　　On the evening of June 17, Beijing, East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

President Xi Jinping hosted the China-Africa Unity Anti-epidemic Special Summit by video.

　　In addition to the leaders of China, African countries and the African Union, two special guests attended this special summit named after "Unity"-UN Secretary-General Guterres and World Health Organization Director-General Tan Desai.

　　"Unity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon to fight the epidemic." President Xi Jinping pointed out.

　　History is not far away-in the 1960s, the World Health Organization launched the "Smallpox Eradication Program", and countries including major powers participated in it, eventually eradicating smallpox worldwide.

　　Looking back on the past, Tan Desai said with emotion: "Now, there will be no more obstacles to international cooperation than during the Cold War. There is no reason for countries not to unite to fight the dangerous enemy of the new crown virus."

　　On September 11, after months of consultations, the 74th UN General Assembly passed an overwhelming majority of 169 votes in favor and 2 votes against, and passed a resolution calling for "strengthening international cooperation and solidarity" to respond to the global pandemic of the new crown virus.

　　The resolution reaffirmed that the World Health Organization played a "key leadership role" in the global fight against the epidemic, and the United Nations system played a "fundamental role".

　　Facing the severe challenges of the pandemic, China has demonstrated its responsibility as a responsible major country——

　　In the face of tremendous pressure on its own epidemic prevention and control, actively responded to the global humanitarian response plan initiated by the United Nations and provided USD 50 million in cash assistance to the WHO;

　　Initiated the emergency humanitarian operation with the most concentrated assistance and the widest scope since the founding of New China, sent 34 medical expert teams to 32 countries, provided 283 batches of anti-epidemic assistance to 150 countries and 4 international organizations, and provided assistance to more than 200 Countries and regions provide and export epidemic prevention materials;

　　Announced that it will provide US$2 billion in international assistance within two years, cooperate with the United Nations to establish a global humanitarian emergency warehouse and hub in China, establish 30 China-Africa counterpart hospital cooperation mechanisms, and China's new crown vaccine will be used as a global public product after it is completed and put into use. The G20 members work together to implement the "Initiative for Suspending the Debt Repayment of the Poorest Countries"...

　　President Xi Jinping’s important speech at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic, once again clarified the significance of the era of building a community with a shared future for mankind. This is also the era echo of the UN Charter——

　　"The new crown pneumonia epidemic warns the world in a special form that mankind is a community of shared destiny, and no country can stand alone in the face of major crises. Unity and cooperation are the right way in the world."

"Step out of this difficult period in human history with firm steps, and jointly welcome the world's better future"

　　The National Convention Center, located on the central axis of Beijing, has witnessed the successful holding of two "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forums.

　　This early autumn, it ushered in a grand event of global service trade-the 2020 China International Service Trade Fair.

　　"China has overcome many difficulties and organized such a major international economic and trade event to work hand in hand with everyone to overcome the difficulties, jointly promote the development and prosperity of global service trade, and promote the rapid recovery of the world economy." President Xi Jinping said deeply.

　　Kituyi, secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, said: "This coincides with the common prosperity goal pursued by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development."

　　Development, like peace and security, has always been the core issue of the United Nations.

　　Focusing on a sustainable future for mankind, the United Nations has successively formulated and implemented the Millennium Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Driven by the United Nations, billions of people have embarked on a journey of modernization, and a large number of developing countries have embarked on the fast track of development and progress.

　　“For the people of all countries, development entrusts survival and hope, and symbolizes dignity and rights.” Five years ago, President Xi Jinping attended the United Nations Development Summit and conveyed China’s insights to the world: “In the face of numerous challenges and difficulties, we must hold back. Develop this key tightly."

　　The sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic cast a shadow over the 2030 sustainable development agenda.

The United Nations has repeatedly issued warnings: The global economy is expected to shrink by 3.2% in 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic may trigger a food crisis, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development may not be realized as scheduled...

　　The global epidemic has not yet been fully controlled, and the tasks of fighting the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and protecting people's livelihood are arduous and onerous.

　　At this time, showing strategic determination, China insists on doing its own affairs well, boosting confidence for global development——

　　Economic growth turned from negative to positive!

In the second quarter of this year, GDP increased by 3.2% year-on-year, and China became the first major economy to achieve positive growth in the epidemic.

　　From the opening up of the financial market, to the reduction of tariffs and the active expansion of imports; from the introduction of the “Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port” to the further reduction of the 2020 version of the negative list of foreign investment access...Behind the improvement in economic data, It is China's unremitting action to deepen reforms and expand opening up without fear of protectionist countercurrents.

　　At this time, facing the countercurrent of unilateralism and protectionism, China is firmly committed to "paving roads" and "building bridges"——

　　August 24, Milan, Italy.

The "Changan" China-Europe train arrived slowly, loaded with anti-epidemic supplies, and also full of friendship and hope.

　　In August of this year, China-Europe freight trains continued to maintain strong growth. A total of 1,247 trains were opened and 110,000 TEUs of goods were sent, an increase of 62% and 66% respectively year-on-year. The combined heavy container rate was 98.5%, a record high.

　　"China will play the role of locomotive in the recovery of the world economy." said Rudolf Minsch, chief economist of the Swiss Economic Association.

　　It is particularly worth mentioning that this year China will achieve all rural poor people out of poverty under the current standards, and the Chinese nation's millennial dream of getting rid of absolute poverty will become a reality.

This is a major contribution to the cause of poverty reduction in the United Nations and to the cause of human development.

　　In the long history, there are always some key nodes that are worthy of repeated taste.

　　September 2015, United Nations Headquarters in New York.

　　Standing on the podium of the series of summits on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, focusing on the common future of mankind, President Xi Jinping proposed: inherit and carry forward the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, build a new type of international relations with win-win cooperation at the core, and create a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　In January 2017, the United Nations Palace of Nations in Geneva.

　　Analyzing the question of the times of "what's going on in the world and what do we do", President Xi Jinping gave China's plan-to build a community with a shared future for mankind and achieve win-win sharing.

　　Under the great changes unseen in a century, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind advocated by China has spread across the continents and seas through the multilateral arena of the United Nations, bringing light and hope to the confused and troubled world.

　　"The important concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by President Xi Jinping is an inheritance and sublimation of the purpose of the UN Charter." said Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations.

　　History reveals the future——

　　On October 25, 1971, the 26th United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to restore the legal seat of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations.

Since then, China has begun to play an increasingly important role on the UN stage.

　　The times are mighty and mighty——

　　Standing at a new historical starting point for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, China has guided the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and told the world: "We must stand on the right side of history."
