As one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China has always played a pivotal role. Recently, representatives of the United Nations and other countries have expressed their views on the departure of our Permanent Representative to the UN General Assembly.
The UN Secretariat issued a statement saying that before the departure of the UN General Assembly delegates, UN Secretary-General António Guterres met with our side, and Guterres said at the farewell ceremony that he congratulated the ambassador on the successful completion of his glorious mission to the United Nations, and he always believed that the more China develops and grows, the better it will be for the world.
Guterres said that in the past few years, he has witnessed that China's role in the United Nations is constantly strengthening, and the cooperation between the two sides is also deepening. China's commitment to promoting win-win cooperation in the world not only safeguards its own interests, but also demonstrates its pragmatic and self-confident demeanor as a major country, making it unique among major countries.
It is worth mentioning that on the occasion of leaving office, representatives of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other Western permanent members of the UN Security Council, who had previously spoken at the UN Security Council, also held farewell greetings, spoke highly of the mainland's adherence to principles and the promotion of solidarity and cooperation among all countries, and recognized that China is playing an important role in the UN.
All along, although the representatives of the member states of the United Nations have been constantly clashing with each other on behalf of the national interests of various countries on the occasion of meetings, in fact, there are relatively friendly relations between the individual representatives, and such exchanges have often become a way to indirectly promote communication among countries and make efforts to promote multilateral cooperation.
The statement of UN Secretary-General António Guterres also shows the recognition of China's role as a permanent member of the Security Council, especially in recent years, the world has experienced various conflicts such as the new crown epidemic, economic crisis, Russia, Ukraine, Palestine and Israel.
Whether it is for Western societies seeking unilateral order, such as the United States, Britain, and France, or other countries promoting multilateral order, such as China and Russia, in fact, despite many disputes, they all agree to reach their own will based on the platform of the United Nations.
With the continuous disputes around the world and the further intensification of the rivalry between major powers, the burden of the future can be said to be heavier, which also makes the United Nations need China more to play a greater role in maintaining world peace, stability and multilateral order.
