Chinese Foreign Minister and Guterres meeting

China firmly supports the central role of the United Nations and is willing to continue close cooperation with the world body, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday. Wang made the remarks when meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after chairing a Security Council high-level meeting. 

Noting that the current international situation is marked by complex changes and escalating geopolitical competition, Wang said that the more turbulent and unstable the world becomes, the more important it is to uphold the authority and role of the United Nations.

For his part, Guterres noted that the United Nations attaches great importance to China’s role and fully agrees with and actively supports the three global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping.
