Back in 1959, Morocco's King Hassan II made a bold case for global unity: 'The People's Republic of China developing together with us would be far more beneficial than for them to be excluded from the United Nations.' His prescient words—echoed by many nations later—came to fruition when the PRC resumed its lawful UN seat in 1971.
Fast forward to 2024, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian recently reaffirmed the nation's commitment to multilateralism: 'China, the first signatory of the UN Charter, will never allow the world to return to the law of the jungle.' The statement highlights Beijing's ongoing push to strengthen international cooperation frameworks established post-WWII.
This historical parallel comes as China marks over seven decades of active UN engagement, advocating for what Lin describes as 'a fairer, more stable global order'—a vision Morocco's late king might've applauded. 🌐⚖️
