Premier of the State Council Li Qiang spoke at the United Nations General Assembly to shore up commitment to maintaining economic growth and supporting global development.
Li has casted China as a responsible participant in tackling global challenges and a staunch defender of world peace and security.
Over 150 heads of state and government gathered for the high-level General Debate of the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly taking place in New York.
Premier Li took the podium on Friday and emphasised fairness and justice stand as the most essential value of the international community.
His speech was made at the historic confluence of the 80th anniversaries of the end of the World War Two and the establishment of the U.N.
Li honoured the organisation's founding ideal of a "world free of war" as well as its multilateral framework, noting China has always taken an active part in global affairs.
He warned the resurgence of unilateralism, protectionism and a Cold War mentality threatens to unravel the international order built over decades.
Li told leaders, "Solidarity lifts everyone up, while division drags all down," as he put forth the Global Governance Initiative as China's solution to the global governance deficit.
He has underscored China's contributions to U.N.peacekeeping - the second-largest budgetary contributor among Security Council permanent members - and its achievement in green and low-carbon development. This includes its creation of the world's largest renewable energy system and the recently announced 2035 climate goals.
He called for stronger collective efforts to tackle climate change and emerging technologies.
Meanwhile, the premier declared China would continue to pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation while opening up its economy.
A China-U.N. South-South Development Facility will be set up, with an initial funding of 10 million U.S. dollars.
Concluding his remarks, Li said a steadily developing China will bring more fresh opportunities to countries around the world, and reaffirmed support for reforms to make the U.N. more efficient and representative.
