Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a powerful case for bolstering the United Nations (UN) during a high-profile press conference Friday, emphasizing its vital role as global tensions rise and challenges like climate change and economic inequality loom large.
‘UN is Instrumental,’ Says Top Diplomat
Speaking at the sidelines of the third session of the 14th National People’s Congress, Wang asserted that the UN has proven itself through decades of crises, from Cold War standoffs to pandemics.
"The more complex the problems, the greater the need to accentuate the important status of the UN," he stated, adding that upholding the body’s authority is critical to tackling issues like conflict resolution and sustainable development.
A Call for Collective Action
Wang’s message struck a chord with young audiences advocating for multilateralism. "Think of the UN as the ultimate group project," one political science student tweeted. "No one gets an A+ if we don’t work together."
For professionals tracking global policy, the remarks signal China’s push to shape international governance frameworks. Meanwhile, diaspora communities see the UN’s role as a bridge for cross-cultural dialogue.
