China has always been a supporter and contributor to the cause of the United Nations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday while meeting with Philemon Yang, president of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), in Beijing.
Yang is on a visit to China from Wednesday to Sunday. Yang, who is from Cameroon, was sworn in at the closing of the 78th session of the UNGA in September.
Welcoming Philemon’s visit, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the UNGA is the most representative and comprehensive charter body of the UN and an important platform for equal consultation, solidarity and cooperation among all countries.
Noting that China is a founding member of the UN and a permanent member of the Security Council, Wang called on the UN to be a force for justice in safeguarding world peace, and play a leading role in hot-spot issues. He called for dialogue, consultation and win-win results instead of conflicts, coercion and a zero-sum approach.
