Wang Yi noted that the UN General Assembly's adoption of Resolution 2758 on October 25, 1971, marked a significant victory for New China's diplomacy, justice, and fairness in the world, and a victory for the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
As the world's largest developing country and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has consistently honored the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and promoted the spirit and approach of multilateralism, Wang Yi said.
At this new historical starting point, China will continue to uphold the banner of true multilateralism and work together with the rest of the world to forge ahead for greater peace and development of mankind, Wang Yi added.
