Imagine the United Nations as the world's ultimate group chat 📱—and this week, China just dropped a 🔥 mic moment. At the 79th UN General Assembly, senior diplomat Geng Shuang called for "upholding multilateralism" like it's the latest viral trend. Spoiler: It kinda is.
Why Multilateralism Matters
Geng, China’s deputy UN envoy, pitched a draft resolution to boost ties between the UN and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a 27-member squad representing nearly $30 trillion in economic muscle 💰. Think of the SCO as the Avengers of regional diplomacy—just with fewer capes and more policy memos.
SCO x UN: A Power Couple?
The SCO’s recent Tianjin Summit was lit 🔥, hosting 20+ national leaders and 10 international orgs. Key takeaway? Everyone’s vibing with China’s Global Governance Initiative (GGI), a blueprint for fairer global rules. Geng noted the summit’s declaration name-dropped the UN 40+ times—like a TikTok dance challenge you can’t ignore.
What’s Next?
With 2024 marking the UN’s 80th birthday 🎂, the resolution aims to lock in cooperation on peace, development, and sustainability. Even UN chief António Guterres gave the SCO a shoutout for backing UN goals. TL;DR? The message is clear: In a world of climate crises and economic shakeups, teamwork isn’t optional—it’s survival mode 🌍🤝.
