UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) — A Chinese envoy said Friday that China attaches great importance to its cooperation with the United Nations while meeting with reporters from major international media at the UN headquarters in New York.

“We attach great importance to our cooperation with the United Nations, and everything goes well,” Zhang Jun, China’s permanent representative to the UN, told reporters from The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, Bloomberg News, and others.

The ambassador stated that China will “stand firm” with the United Nations and “give strong support” to the organization “by defending multilateralism and supporting an international system with the United Nations at its center.”

He also said that China will support “an international order on the basis of international law and the purposes and the principles of the UN Charter.”

As one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, “China will continue to play a responsible and a constructive role in addressing global political and security issues,” he said.

Noting that the world is “far from being peaceful,” the envoy said that China will continue to work hard on issues including in the Middle East and in other parts of the world.

In general, he said, China will continue to promote peace “through diplomatic means and political dialogues,” adding it will always be China’s basic position.

“We will try our best to be helpful and to be contributing more to world peace and security,” he noted. “China will continue to be positively engaged in peacekeeping operations for that purpose.”

Zhang started his role as China’s new permanent representative to the UN earlier this week.

BEIJING, July 4 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday met with Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, the president-elect of the 74th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, pledging to continue firmly safeguarding the international system with the UN as the core.

The UN has played an irreplaceable role in maintaining world peace and stability, advancing global development and promoting international cooperation since it was founded over 70 years ago, Li said.

Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

“China supports the UN General Assembly in preparing relevant commemorative activities, as this is of special significance to safeguard the principles of multilateralism, equality of sovereignty, and solving problems through peaceful means that are represented by the UN,” Li said.

As a founding member of the UN, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and the biggest developing country in the world, China will continue to firmly safeguard the international system with the UN as the core, uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and work with other countries to deepen international cooperation, safeguard international fairness and justice, and jointly cope with challenges so as to build a community with a shared future for humanity, Li said.

He also congratulated Muhammad-Bande for being elected as the president of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly.

Muhammad-Bande expressed gratitude to China’s strong support to the UN and pledged to firmly support multilateralism, safeguard the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and support UN member states to solve problems through consultation.

He also vowed to maintain an objective and unbiased attitude in carrying out his work and strengthen communication and coordination with China.

Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, and Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi also met with Muhammad-Bande on Thursday.
