Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed Beijing's dedication to strengthening international cooperation through the United Nations framework during a high-level symposium in Beijing this week. Speaking at an event marking key global milestones, Wang emphasized China's role as a "founding UN member" and permanent Security Council member in driving collaborative solutions to modern challenges.
"This year holds special significance as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of both the World Anti-Fascist War victory and the UN's establishment," Wang noted in his written message. Over 100 representatives from nearly 50 countries and international organizations attended the gathering, which focused on enhancing multilateral governance systems.
The Foreign Minister outlined three key priorities: upholding the UN's central coordinating role, promoting governance through "extensive consultation and joint contribution," and advancing the vision of a shared future for mankind. These commitments align with China's recent diplomatic engagements and its position on resolving international disputes through dialogue.
Wang's remarks came as global attention turns to strengthening crisis-response mechanisms amidst geopolitical tensions. Participants discussed practical measures to balance national sovereignty with collective action, particularly in addressing climate change, economic disparities, and regional conflicts.
Analysts view this symposium as part of China's broader strategy to position itself as a stabilizing force in global affairs, while reinforcing the importance of historical alliances and institutional frameworks in an increasingly multipolar world.
