China News Agency, United Nations, September 22 (Reporter Madlin) Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the general debate of the 75th UN General Assembly on the 22nd.
Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said afterwards that this speech was an important policy statement made by Chinese leaders to the international community at a major historical juncture, and it played a positive role in inspiring, pointing out the direction and leading actions to the world.
Zhang Jun said that the speech shared China's experience and injected confidence into the global fight against the epidemic.
Effective prevention and control of the epidemic is the top priority for all countries in the world.
President Xi’s four propositions on the global fight against the epidemic originated from China’s arduous struggle against the epidemic. Each of them has been tested in practice and has important practical guiding significance.
He said that President Xi emphasized the supremacy of the people and life, opposed politicization and stigmatization, pointed out that macro-policy coordination should be strengthened, all of which are highly targeted, and pointed to the key issue of global solidarity in fighting the epidemic.
It is very important that President Xi emphasized that "the epidemic will eventually be overcome by mankind, and victory will definitely belong to the people of the world."
Such a belief in victory brings hope and strength to those who are fighting the epidemic.
Zhang Jun said that the speech answers the questions of the times and points the way for mankind.
The world is at a crossroads where to go.
International relations and the healthy development of human society are facing some fundamental problems, and the international community is thinking about these problems seriously.
Zhang Jun said that President Xi’s speech not only has a strategic judgment on the development trend of human society, but also has a clear denial of unilateralism and zero-sum thinking, reflecting the strategic vision of the leaders of major powers.
The speech gave a convincing answer to the international debate surrounding economic globalization.
The speech embodies China's profound understanding of the relationship between mankind and nature, and emphasizes the urgency for countries to take steps and accelerate actions to build an ecological civilization and a beautiful earth.
President Xi’s important thesis grasps the general trend of world development, conforms to the wishes of most countries, and represents the trend of progress of the times.
Zhang Jun said that the speech leads global action and reflects the responsibility of a responsible power.
In his speech, President Xi announced a series of new commitments and measures to support the global fight against the epidemic, promote sustainable development, and support the work of the United Nations.
During the current session of the UN General Assembly, all countries paid great attention to the issue of the new coronavirus vaccine.
President Xi solemnly announced that after China's vaccine research and development is completed and put into use, it will be used as a global public product and will be given priority to developing countries.
This will make a major contribution to helping the world overcome the epidemic, and is generally welcomed by the United Nations and the international community.
President Xi announced that China's carbon dioxide emissions will strive to reach a peak before 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
This demonstrates China's firm determination to tackle climate change and sets an example of fulfilling its promises and doing what it says.
A series of important commitments and measures, including providing another US$50 million in support to the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic, shows that China’s support for multilateralism and the United Nations is firm, solid and consistent.
Zhang Jun said that in September 2015 and January 2017, President Xi delivered speeches in New York and Geneva, comprehensively and profoundly explaining the concept and proposition of a community with a shared future for mankind.
This speech is in the same line as the previous two, and combined with the new situation, new challenges, and new topics, it made new conclusions and demonstrated new responsibilities.
Zhang Jun said that President Xi’s speech has ideas, plans, and actions. It is a vivid interpretation of China's practice of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Many country representatives and senior UN officials congratulated the Chinese delegation, spoke highly of President Xi’s important speech, and appreciated China’s important and critical role at major historical junctures in the world.
