BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — China has always firmly supported the work of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Wednesday.
As the diplomat noted at a regular press briefing, China took note that UNESCO and many countries expressed regret over the US decision to withdraw from the organization again. “This is the third time the United States has withdrawn from UNESCO and has not paid its membership dues for a long time. This is not what a responsible country should do,” the official said.
According to Guo Jiakun, UNESCO's goal is to promote international cooperation in education, science and culture, promote mutual understanding and integration of civilizations, safeguard world peace and achieve common development. China has always firmly supported UNESCO's activities, the diplomat stressed.
In light of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN, China calls on all countries to reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism and, through concrete actions, uphold the international system with the UN at the center, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, Guo Jiakun concluded. –0–
