China firmly supports the core status of the United Nations in global governance, and is willing to promote all parties to implement true multilateralism and better advance the United Nations' various causes. The current global security situation is severe, and China has made a lot of efforts to promote political solutions to hot issues, and will continue to support the unique role of the United Nations in easing tension. All parties should prioritize development on the international agenda, strengthen global development cooperation, prioritize resources into key areas such as poverty reduction, education, employment, and capacity-building, and revitalize global development partnerships. As a responsible major developing country, China will continue to steadfastly expand its opening up, share opportunities with other countries, and develop together. China supports filling the gaps in governance in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, the polar regions, outer space, and supports the United Nations in playing a leading role in this regard. Guterres expressed gratitude to China for its long-term commitment to multilateralism and unwavering support for the work of the United Nations. President Xi Jinping's three major global initiatives are highly aligned with the goals of the United Nations, and China has made significant contributions to promoting political solutions to hot issues, reforming the international economic and financial system, and safeguarding the interests of developing countries. Facing the current international situation, the United Nations looks forward to strengthening cooperation with China on the occasion of its 80th anniversary, upholding the authority of the United Nations Charter and international law, supporting multilateralism, opposing unilateralism, jointly addressing global challenges such as climate change, strengthening global governance of artificial intelligence, and promoting world peace and development.
