China News Agency, United Nations, September 24 (Reporter Wang Fan) On September 24, local time, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the general debate of the 77th United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and delivered a speech entitled "Making Efforts for Peaceful Development" Take responsibility for unity and progress" speech.

　　Wang Yi said that this is an era full of challenges.

The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the evolution of a major change unseen in a century is accelerating.

This is also a time of hope.

The theme of the era of peace and development has not changed, and people of all countries have a stronger desire for progress and cooperation.

How to respond to the requirements of the times, grasp the trend of history, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind advocated by President Xi Jinping, China's proposition is firm and clear:

　　Be peaceful, not war.

Adhere to the peaceful handling of differences and the settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation.

　　To develop, not to be poor.

Adhere to put development at the center of the international agenda, build international consensus, and make development achievements more and more equitable to benefit every country and everyone.

　　Be open, not closed.

Advocate openness and inclusiveness, safeguard the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, and promote the building of an open world economy.

　　Be cooperative, not confrontational.

Conflict is replaced by dialogue, coercion is replaced by negotiation, and zero-sum is replaced by win-win.

　　Be united, not divided.

Abandon the ideological line, unite to build the greatest common divisor and draw the greatest concentric circles for the cause of world peace and development.

　　Be fair, don't bully.

Advocate and practice genuine multilateralism, promote equality of rights, rules, and opportunities for all countries, and build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation.

　　Wang Yi said that as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the largest developing country in the world, China firmly stands on the side of solidarity and cooperation, the trend of the times, and the common interests of the vast majority of countries.

China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of international order, a provider of public goods, and a mediator of hotspot issues.

　　Wang Yi said that in the face of various current challenges, President Xi Jinping proposed a global development initiative, sounded the "collection number" of refocusing on development, and called for the building of a global development community.

President Xi Jinping also proposed a global security initiative, contributing Chinese wisdom to bridging the peace deficit, and proposing a Chinese plan for addressing international security challenges.

　　Wang Yi stressed that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times.

China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been divided, the fact that the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China has never changed, and the efforts of all Chinese sons and daughters to pursue the reunification of the motherland have never stopped.

The one-China principle has become the basic norm of international relations and the general consensus of the international community.

It was in this solemn hall 51 years ago that the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passed Resolution 2758, which decided to restore the legitimate seat of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and remove the "representative" of the Taiwan authorities from the seat it illegally occupied. The expulsion completely resolved the issue of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, in the United Nations and international institutions politically, legally and procedurally, and completely blocked any attempts by anyone or any country to create "two Chinas" or Any space of "one in one".

　　Wang Yi expressed that China is willing to continue to achieve the peaceful reunification of the two sides with the greatest sincerity and best efforts.

In order to achieve this goal, we must crack down on "Taiwan independence" separatist activities with the firmest determination, and take the strongest measures to eliminate external interference.

Only when the split is firmly stopped in accordance with the law can the peaceful reunification of the two sides have a realistic foundation; only when the country achieves complete reunification can the Taiwan Strait truly usher in lasting peace.

Any attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs will be unanimously opposed by the Chinese people, and any attempt to block China's great cause of reunification will be crushed by the wheel of history.

　　Wang Yi said that China is fully implementing the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, focusing on high-quality development and building a new development pattern.

The long-term trend of China's development will be positive, the prospect of China's progress will be brighter, and the story of China's miracle will be even more exciting.

China, which accounts for one-fifth of the world's population, has made great strides toward modernization, which has important and far-reaching world significance.

The path China pursues is peaceful development rather than plunder and colonization, win-win cooperation rather than zero-sum game, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature rather than exhaustion.

We will continue to provide Chinese wisdom to solve the problems of human development and make Chinese contributions to the creation of a new form of human civilization.

　　Wang Yi said that the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will uphold the will of all the Chinese people, scientifically plan the goals and tasks of national development in the next five years or even longer, and comprehensively draw a grand blueprint for China's future development.

Standing at a new historical starting point, China will realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and will work with all countries in the world to do its best for peaceful development, take responsibility for unity and progress, build a community with a shared future for mankind, and jointly create a better world.

　　On the same day, Wang Yi also met with the President of the 77th UN General Assembly and the foreign ministers of Maldives, Egypt, Algeria, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Costa Rica respectively.
