THE role of the United Nations (UN) should only be strengthened, not weakened, and its status must be upheld, not replaced, Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi said Thursday.
China always believed that the world had only one system, which is the UN-centered international system, and one order, which is the international order underpinned by international law, Wang said at a press conference.
“There is only one set of rules, which are the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” he said.
In the meantime, the UN needed to reform and improve itself to adapt to the new reality of international political and economic development and enhance the representation and voice of developing countries, Wang noted.
“Major countries in particular should assume their responsibilities and help the UN including the Security Council.
“The Security Council better fulfill its mandate and more effectively build global consensus, mobilise global resources and coordinateglobal actions,” he added.
China supported the UN in holding the Summit of the Future and reaching a Pact for the Future that would benefit all parties, he said.
China would work with the international community to support the continuous development and improvement of the UN, Wang noted. (Xinhua/NAN)
