In an era marked by unprecedented global volatility, the need for a robust and unified international framework has never been more urgent. On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi addressed the international community, calling for a concerted effort to defend, revitalize, and strengthen the United Nations (UN).
Presiding over a high-level Security Council meeting, Wang—who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee—emphasized the critical importance of upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. He underscored that the UN-centered international system remains the primary pillar for maintaining global stability.
Wang noted that the world is currently navigating the most complex and profound changes witnessed since the end of World War II. He argued that today's challenges are not merely political or economic, but serve as a rigorous test of the global community's collective conviction to safeguard peace and its resolve to uphold justice.
Throughout his remarks, the Foreign Minister stressed that the path forward requires courage to pursue reform and innovation. "We must unite and take action to uphold, revitalize and strengthen the United Nations," Wang asserted, highlighting that multilateral cooperation is essential in the face of modern global crises.
As the world continues to grapple with evolving security threats and economic shifts in 2026, China's call for a reinforced UN reflects a broader push toward a more equitable and effective multilateral order that can effectively address the needs of all nations.
