Speaking at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Premier of the State Council of China Li Qiang emphasized that humanity once again finds itself at a historical crossroads and must choose the path of solidarity and cooperation for a common future.
He recalled that this year the world celebrates the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazism and the founding of the United Nations. "The UN has become a symbol of hope for a world free of disasters and wars. Over the past decades, the international order based on law has helped achieve unprecedented levels of development and prosperity," Li Qiang stated.
According to him, the key lessons of the past decades are that peace and development are the common goals of all nations, and that solidarity and cooperation remain the most powerful engines of progress. "History has proven that unity leads to success, while division leads to failure," he noted.
The Chinese prime minister expressed concern over the growing manifestations of "hegemonism and bullying" and the undermining of international law. "Humanity must not turn a blind eye to humanitarian disasters and atrocities. We must act fairly and conscientiously," Li Qiang said, emphasizing that major countries must exercise particular responsibility.
Li Qiang reiterated his country's contribution to peacekeeping: China is the second-largest contributor to UN peacekeeping operations and the largest contributor of troops among the permanent members of the Security Council. He emphasized that Beijing will continue to play a constructive role in advancing political resolutions to conflicts, including in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The Prime Minister also addressed global economic issues, declaring the need to combat protectionism and trade barriers. He noted that China has remained the world's second-largest importer for the past 16 years and contributes approximately 30 percent to global economic growth. "We must strive for inclusive globalization that will benefit all countries," Li Qiang said.
China has always been open to the world, the head of the Chinese government noted: "We have reduced the overall tariff burden to 7.3 percent. China has also established high-quality cooperation with more than 150 countries through the Belt and Road Initiative."
The Chinese premier called for a dialogue among civilizations and a rejection of ideological superiority, emphasizing that every culture is valuable and deserves respect.
Addressing the climate crisis, Li Qiang reaffirmed China's commitment to the Paris Agreement and the development of a green economy, and advocated for the responsible use of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence. "Technological progress must benefit all people and serve the world," he emphasized.
In conclusion, Li Qiang stated that China is ready to work with other countries to propose concrete solutions to strengthen peace, security, and sustainable development on the planet.
