Beijing, October 26 (Xinhua) — A Chinese-Russian research workshop entitled "The 80th Anniversary of the United Nations (UN): Achievements and Future. The Role of the UN in Contemporary Global Governance" was held via videoconference on Friday.
On October 25 of this year, the UN celebrates the 80th anniversary of its founding. The event aimed to summarize the UN's role and challenges in maintaining international order and advancing global governance, as well as to discuss common positions and areas of cooperation between China and Russia in supporting the UN system and advocating for multilateralism.
Bringing together experts and scholars from think tanks in China and Russia, the research workshop focused on three topics: the importance of the UN for the international system, cooperation between the two countries to maintain the UN's leading role in global politics, and the implementation of the Global Governance Initiative.
Sun Zhuangzhi, Director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IRESCA CAS), emphasized the need to rely on the UN Charter, adhere to genuine multilateralism, and oppose unilateralism and hegemony.
He stated that China is ready to work with Russia to build a more just and rational international order within the framework of the UN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the BRICS mechanism.
Ivan Timofeev, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), in turn, noted that Russia and China, as permanent members of the UN Security Council, adhere to a common position and closely cooperate on the most important international issues, and are unanimously committed to maintaining the key role of the UN in global governance.
Russia and China should continue to play a constructive role in defending the organization's authority and countering its instrumentalization, and jointly promote the development of a more just and reasonable international order, he added.
The co-organizers of the scientific workshop were the IRVECA KOAN, the Council for Strategic Cooperation of China and Russia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the Russian International Affairs Council. -0-
