Sixty years ago, the United Nations was founded amid the cheers of victory in the world anti-fascist war. The founding of the United Nations is a great event in human history. Over the past 60 years, the United Nations has made unremitting efforts in maintaining international peace and security, stopping aggression and promoting international cooperation, and has become the most important international organization in the world for maintaining peace and stability and promoting common development. As one of the main sponsors of the United Nations, China participated in the Washington Conference, the Moscow Conference, the Washington Oak Park Conference and the San Francisco Conference, which played a certain role in the formal entry into force of the United Nations Charter and the formal establishment of the United Nations. Especially since the United Nations General Assembly resumed People's Republic of China (PRC)'s legitimate seat in the United Nations on125, China has earnestly followed the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, earnestly fulfilled its obligations and important responsibilities as a permanent member of the Security Council, and played an increasingly important role in the United Nations.

After China resumed its legal rights in the United Nations, especially since the reform and opening up, with the continuous progress of the political and economic situation and the deepening of its participation in international affairs, China has made due contributions to world peace and development with a new look. China has always actively supported and participated in the work of the United Nations, abided by United Nations resolutions and resolutions, defended the basic principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and made active efforts to safeguard justice and international order. In today's complex world, China is committed to further deepening international democracy and establishing a more just, rational and mutually beneficial new international political and economic order. China not only safeguards international justice, international peace and stability, but also its own national interests. It not only protects and represents the interests of developing countries, but also solves the practical problems of the international community as a whole; We should not only safeguard national sovereignty and adhere to the principle of opposing interference in the internal affairs of countries, but also consider the right of the international community to take peacekeeping, appropriate intervention and preventive measures against some countries under special circumstances; It not only supports international anti-terrorism and non-proliferation measures and maintains international security, but also maintains the normal order of the international economy, vigorously promotes the economic and cultural development of developing countries and solves the problem of regional poverty. China's Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and other basic norms for resolving disputes between countries are completely in line with the purposes and spirit of the UN Charter. China's flexible and pragmatic attitude of promoting peace and development has enriched the practice of dealing with relations between countries under the framework of the United Nations. It can be said that it is precisely because of the active participation of China, a force for maintaining peace and stability, that the United Nations has become a world-class international organization and played a positive role in seeking common development of mankind.

China is an emerging market with the fastest economic development and the greatest potential in the world. Strong economic development has driven the growth of the global economy. Maintaining the long-term stable development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards is not only the responsibility of the China government to its own people, but also its contribution to fully fulfilling the functions of the United Nations in promoting peace and development. It took China 25 years to solve the problem of food and clothing for 220 million poor people, and the people's life has been greatly improved, which is a miracle in human history. United Nations experts believe: "It is precisely because of China's remarkable achievements in eradicating poverty that the proportion of poor people in the world has dropped sharply." Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown at an average annual rate of more than 9%, and its total economic output has quadrupled, achieving the goal of a well-off society. Last year, China's total foreign trade jumped to the third place in the world, reaching1154.8 billion US dollars, which injected strong vitality into the world economy. By 2020, China's economy will quadruple for the second time, and the total economic output will reach about 4 trillion US dollars. In the process of realizing the grand blueprint for their own development, the people of China will certainly benefit all countries in the world and become a country that has made greater contributions to the world.

China respects the Charter of the United Nations, actively advocates a new concept of security, advocates the democratization of international relations, and does not resort to confrontation or threat of force. On the contrary, it resolves differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and peace. China attaches great importance to establishing and developing long-term and stable good-neighborly relations with all its neighbors. China actively participated in the six-party talks on the Korean nuclear issue and made constructive contributions to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia. Strive to promote the construction of regional security dialogue and cooperation mechanisms and actively participate in multilateral security dialogue and cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region; The new security concept has been successfully implemented, the border issues left over from history have been properly resolved through friendly consultations, military mutual trust has been enhanced, and effective cooperation has been carried out in combating terrorism, separatism and extremist forces. With its own prosperity and development, China's responsibility in global security and global prosperity is also growing. China is an important force in combating nuclear proliferation and international terrorism. Under the principles of respecting the sovereignty of the countries concerned, non-interference in internal affairs and peaceful settlement of disputes, China has actively participated in United Nations peacekeeping operations in Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Haiti and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When some countries are unwilling to provide medical personnel and engineers, China has sent a large number of military observers and engineering medical departments (detachments) to various peacekeeping areas. In UN peacekeeping operations, China has sent more than 2,000 soldiers and civilian police, covering almost all hot spots. China has signed and strictly abided by most international treaties and conventions, actively participated in a series of major international arms control negotiations, such as the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Biological Weapons Convention and the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, and conscientiously fulfilled the rules of international arms control treaties. In order to improve military transparency, China has established and developed a national defense white paper system adapted to the new security situation, and has successively issued disarmament and arms control reports, national defense policy white papers and other documents. At present, China has established military diplomatic relations with 146 countries in the world, and established military attache offices in 103 countries, of which 74 countries have established military attache offices in China. In recent years, China has held joint anti-terrorism military exercises with SCO member states, "Peace -2005" with Russia, joint maritime search and rescue exercises with Britain, France and other western countries, Pakistan and India, high-altitude joint anti-terrorism military exercises with Pakistan, and organized foreign military observers to observe military exercises in China. Through these joint military exercises, mutual understanding and trust between our army and the armies of other countries have been strengthened.

China cannot do without the United Nations, and the United Nations cannot do without China. As a member of the United Nations and a permanent member of the Security Council, China is willing to make greater contributions to the reform and development of the United Nations. At present, China, together with the Member States of the United Nations, is committed to effectively safeguarding the authority of the United Nations, opposing any country to take actions that undermine world peace and stability by bypassing the United Nations Security Council, gradually improving the efficiency of the United Nations, rationally utilizing various resources of the United Nations and solving various problems faced by the United Nations. On the important issue of the reform of the UN Security Council, China advocated that all countries should hold extensive discussions on the reform of the Security Council in order to reach the maximum consensus, and put forward the constructive opinion that any reform plan of the Security Council should give priority to the representation of developing countries, so as to prevent the United Nations Member States from splitting and the effectiveness of the Security Council from being damaged. This shows that China has been earnestly fulfilling its responsibilities and obligations for the reform and development of the United Nations. In a few days, the 60th anniversary summit of the United Nations will be held at the United Nations Headquarters in new york, and the meeting and its results will have an important impact on the future development of the United Nations and international relations. At that time, China, president and Hu Jintao will attend the meeting, indicating that China attaches importance to and supports the role of the United Nations, and that China will always abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, actively support and participate in the work of the United Nations in various fields, and make unremitting efforts to strengthen the role of the United Nations and achieve the lofty goals of world peace and human progress.
