Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 25. President Xi Jinping met with UN Secretary-General Guterres by video at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the morning of the 25th.

　　Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, attended the meeting.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that today is the 50th anniversary of New China's restoration of its legal seat in the United Nations.

China holds the commemorative meeting not only to review the extraordinary journey that China and the United Nations have gone through together, but also to start from a new historical starting point and work together to build a better world.

　　Xi Jinping emphasized that history has repeatedly proved that no matter how powerful a country is, it cannot rely on hegemony to control other countries, let alone dominate the world.

In the face of regional hotspot issues, we must follow the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respect the will of the people of the country concerned, and work to resolve them through political means.

There is only one system, one order, and one set of rules in the world. Any country should act within this framework, and cannot do its own thing or create another set of rules.

Big countries should respect each other, coexist peacefully, and be mutually beneficial. This is in the common interest of the international community.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has severely impacted and affected the development and people's livelihood of all countries, especially developing countries.

To unite to fight the epidemic and to revive the economy, both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hardened.

It is necessary to increase efforts to provide anti-epidemic assistance to developing countries, distribute vaccines in a fair and reasonable way around the world, and make vaccines truly become a global public product.

China is willing to strengthen coordination with the United Nations, promote the implementation of global development initiatives, solve the development difficulties of developing countries, help implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and promote global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and inclusiveness.

Countries should actively implement the Paris Agreement to address climate change, follow the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, fulfill their respective emission reduction responsibilities, and help developing countries accelerate economic transformation.

China has announced that it will take independent measures to deal with global climate change, and we will do what we say.

China and the United Nations successfully hosted the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the 2nd Global Conference on Sustainable Transport, which have built a new consensus for the sustainable development of mankind.

China will support biodiversity conservation in developing countries.

　　Xi Jinping emphasized that for 50 years of cooperation between China and the United Nations, a very important experience is to consistently adhere to the ideals of the United Nations, unswervingly follow the path of multilateralism, and sincerely contribute to world peace and development.

China is willing to continue to work with other countries in the world to unite under the banner of the United Nations to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　Guterres said that today, 50 years ago, the People’s Republic of China restored its legal seat in the United Nations. This is a day of justice. I would like to extend my warm congratulations.

China's development brings opportunities to the world.

Thank you for China's persistence in multilateralism and support for the work of the United Nations, which has played an important role in promoting world peace and development and has made significant contributions.

The international community needs to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, uphold multilateralism, improve global governance, and achieve more fairness and justice.

Unilateralism is totally unacceptable.

The United Nations highly appreciates China's key role in eradicating poverty, tackling global climate change, protecting biodiversity, and promoting the new crown pneumonia vaccine to become a global public product.

The world should follow the norms accepted by all countries and resolve disputes through dialogue and communication.

The global development initiative put forward by President Xi Jinping is of great positive significance to promoting global equality and balanced and sustainable development. The United Nations fully supports it and is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in this regard.

　　Ding Xuexiang, Yang Jiechi, Wang Yi and others attended the meeting.
