UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Monday called for practicing multilateralism and ensuring common security, speaking at a Security Council briefing organized by the chairman-in-office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
He noted that the global security situation continues to deteriorate: geopolitical conflicts are intensifying, hotbeds of tension are flaring up more frequently, unilateralism and protectionism are significantly increasing, and traditional and non-traditional security threats are becoming intertwined.
In this context, it is crucial that the UN and regional organizations, including the OSCE, continue to strengthen cooperation and make adequate contributions to maintaining international peace and security, Fu Cong said.
"In the current circumstances, it is important for the international community to champion the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security," the diplomat noted. He called on the international community to "promote global security governance and strive to achieve universal security."
The international community should practice true multilateralism, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and firmly support the international system with the UN at its core, Fu Cong emphasized.
He also called on the international community to maintain dialogue and consultation, jointly reject the Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation, promote peace talks and engage in mediation based on the needs and will of the countries concerned, and encourage the parties to the conflict to build trust, resolve disputes and strengthen security through dialogue.
He described China's position on the Ukrainian crisis as consistent and crystal clear. "Dialogue and negotiations are the only viable path to resolving the Ukrainian crisis," Fu Cong noted, adding that China calls on all parties involved to contribute to the development of a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture.
