  China News Agency reporter Zhang Chenyi

  China is one of the founding members of the United Nations and the first country to sign the "United Nations Charter."

2021 is also the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations.

China has always firmly supported the important role of the United Nations in maintaining world peace and promoting common development, firmly supporting multilateralism, and firmly safeguarding the international system with the United Nations at its core.

  Standing at the 50th anniversary, looking back on history, we are soberly aware that true multilateralism meets international expectations and conforms to the trend of historical development.

Human society has experienced various hot wars and cold wars, especially the two world wars, making all countries aware of the importance and necessity of building and maintaining a fair and reasonable international order, and multilateralism is one of its necessary conditions.

Volcan Bozker, President of the 75th UN General Assembly, recently stated that strong and effective multilateralism based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, international law and justice is the foundation of security, stability, peace and prosperity. .

Historical facts have repeatedly proved that if multilateralism is undermined and trampled, the international community will be precarious.

  Standing at the 50th anniversary and looking to the future, we clearly realize that we must improve global governance and practice true multilateralism.

At present, the world is facing the challenge of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and it is also facing the problem of global economic recovery and balanced development.

As a result, people in all countries have more ardent expectations for peaceful development, a stronger voice for fairness and justice, and a firmer pursuit of win-win cooperation.

The basis of multilateralism is to treat each other as equals. Countries, big or small, rich or poor, are all recognized as equal members of the international community; the essence of multilateralism is to act in accordance with the law and follow the rules.

Only based on true multilateralism, countries can reach consensus, strengthen coordination, and unite on the basis of international law and the UN Charter, can they overcome various problems, avoid beggar-thy-neighbors, zero-sum games and other predicaments, and achieve true mutual benefit and win-win results.

  To build a better world together, the focus is on "union."

The epidemic will eventually disperse, and in the post-epidemic world, all fields are expected to be more closely connected. This also means that many major opportunities are global, and various risks will also be global.

There is only one system in the world, and that is the international system with the United Nations at its core.

The international community should work together to give full play to the role of the United Nations as a platform for all countries to work together and work together.

Thousands of people are of the same heart, and you will have the power of a thousand people.

A true union among international members can make a better world possible.

  To build a better world together, the focus is also on "combination."

After regaining its legal seat in the United Nations, the cooperation between China and the United Nations and its member states continued to expand and deepen. All parties respected and promoted each other, which enabled their respective undertakings to continue to reach new heights.

China has become a staunch supporter of the international system and international order with the United Nations at its core, as well as multilateralism and global governance.

The Chinese side stated that it will continue to actively promote the cooperation between China and the United Nations to a new level and make new and greater contributions to the noble cause of the United Nations.

The above concepts are the only way for mankind to build a better world together.

  People of all countries yearn for a better life, and this is also the starting point and end point for mankind to build a better world.

China has always advocated the idea of ​​"harmony of all nations, unity of one heart, and one family in the four seas", which has injected important connotations into the realization of the above-mentioned goals.

"Let us strengthen our confidence, work together to deal with global threats and challenges, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and jointly build a better world." This is China's solemn commitment to upholding true multilateralism and its responsibility as a major country. It is also a firm answer to the issues of the times. And historical choices.
