Chinese Premier Li Qiang reaffirmed China's commitment to strengthening cooperation with the United Nations during a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the 17th BRICS Summit on Tuesday. The discussions centered on fostering a more equitable international order amid growing geopolitical and economic challenges.
Li emphasized China's readiness to deepen solidarity with the UN, stating, "We must champion multilateralism and ensure all nations, especially developing ones, have a voice in shaping global governance." The remarks align with China's recent diplomatic efforts to expand its role in addressing climate action, sustainable development, and peacekeeping initiatives.
Guterres acknowledged China's contributions to UN agendas, particularly in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. The meeting occurred as BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – explore mechanisms to enhance South-South cooperation and reform international financial institutions.
Analysts suggest this dialogue signals China's growing influence in bridging gaps between emerging economies and established Western-led frameworks. For investors, the developments highlight potential opportunities in green technology and infrastructure projects supported through multilateral partnerships.
