UN Coordinator in China: China's role in the UN is crucial

Chang Qide, UN Coordinator in China, said in an interview with a reporter from the General Station on the 25th: China's contributions in the highest field of the United Nations in the past 50 years since the restoration of the legitimate seat of the United Nations are worthy of appreciation. China has become an important supporter and builder of multilateralism in the world.

Chang Qide said: At present, mankind is facing extremely serious challenges, and China's achievements in addressing poverty reduction are exemplary. China's GDP has achieved rapid growth in various fields in the past 50 years, and given the size of China's population and the size of the country, China's achievements are enormous. As a result, the living standards of Chinese people have also improved, and China is the second largest contributor to the United Nations budget, and China's greatest contribution is to actively participate in peacekeeping operations. China is also at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, not only providing much-needed masks and gloves to countries, but also providing vaccines that countries urgently need, especially for developing countries.

"In his speech today, President Xi Jinping once again emphasized the global development initiative, which I think reflects the firm determination of the United Nations and the world to pursue sustainable development. At the same time, today, President Xi Jinping also stressed that China's development provides new opportunities for the world. China has always advocated that no one be left behind in the development of the world, which is also an interpretation of the core of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. China is committed to helping African countries and other developing countries to develop in the fields of health, infrastructure and agriculture, and to promoting South-South cooperation. At the same time, China is committed to green recovery and contributes to global climate governance. ”

Chang Qide said that China's role in the United Nations is crucial, and today President Xi also mentioned China's adherence to multilateralism, which is undoubtedly the pillar of multilateralism. I also particularly agree with President Xi's interpretation of a community with a shared future for mankind, which I believe is geographically separated, but we should always remember that we share a common destiny.

"Now that our rules of the world are facing innovation, we need to work together to protect and promote human development, and I firmly believe that China remains an important player in this task." (CCTV reporter Huang Da Kong Linlin)
