UN, September 25 (Xinhua) — China supports the creation of a more effective and pragmatic United Nations through reforms aimed at enhancing its quality and effectiveness. Chinese State Council Premier Li Qiang stated this during a meeting with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock on the sidelines of the general debate of the 80th session of the UNGA on Wednesday.

He also expressed China's firm commitment to upholding the authority and role of the UN.

According to Li Qiang, as the world enters a new period of upheaval and transformation, characterized by growing instability and uncertainty, the role of the UN is becoming increasingly important.

Noting that Chinese President Xi Jinping recently launched the Global Governance Initiative, Li Qiang said the initiative aims to support the UN in fulfilling its proper role in global affairs and encourage countries to cooperate more closely and more effectively address contemporary challenges through the UN and other multilateral mechanisms.

China is willing to strengthen coordination and communication with the UN and all relevant parties to jointly implement the Global Governance Initiative, promote a more just and equitable global governance system, and work to build a community with a shared future, the Chinese Premier said.

Li Qiang called on the UN to achieve balanced progress in all three pillars – peace, development and human rights – and pay more attention to the development agenda.

He said the UN must strengthen global governance in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, polar regions and outer space, taking into account the legitimate proposals and demands of a vast number of developing countries.

Noting that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, Li Qiang said China believes that A. Baerbock and the UN will continue to uphold the one-China principle.

For her part, A. Baerbock stated that China has always been a firm and strong supporter of the UN and has played a leading role in promoting global development and solving global problems.

She stated that the four global initiatives proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping are fully consistent with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. She also expressed hope for cooperation with China within the framework of this year's UN General Assembly theme—"Better Together: 80 Years and Beyond for Peace, Development, and Human Rights"—to deepen cooperation in three key areas, particularly development, and to jointly advance global peace and development.

Since UNGA Resolution 2758 is unambiguous, the 80th session of the UNGA will firmly adhere to the one-China principle, concluded A. Baerbock. –0–
