Wang Yi says United Nations' leading role must be restored

The Munich Security Conference is being held

in Germany from Friday to Sunday.

During the "China Session" of the international summit,

Wang said reforming and improving global governance requires restoring the leading role of the United Nations.

The "China Session" of the Munich Security Conference was held on Saturday morning local time.

He mentioned that the international situation has been turbulent over the past year, with the law of the jungle and unilateralism prevailing.

Peaceful development has reached a new crossroads.

Maintaining international coordination and cooperation requires seeking common ground while reserving differences and pursuing win-win cooperation.

He called for a return to the original mission and the restoration of the leading role of the United Nations.

He said without the United Nations, the world would revert to the jungle era of the survival of the fittest.

Wang Yi further pointed out the need to uphold multilateralism, with major powers taking the lead in promoting cooperation, avoiding conflict and confrontation, and adhering to rules without double standards.

During the Q&A session, Wang Yi warned Japan not to go back to the path of militarism.

Wang Yi also mentioned in his speech that this year is the starting year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, with the aim of improving people's lives.
