Wang Yi Meets with President of the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Csaba Kőrösi
On November 7, 2022, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a virtual meeting with the President of the 77th Session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly Csaba K rösi, at the latter’s request.
Wang Yi stressed that China has always supported the cause of the UN and the important role of the UN General Assembly. In the face of global volatility, China remains firm in safeguarding the international system with the UN at its core, the international order underpinned by international law, and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
Wang Yi said that Chinese modernization is one of harmony between humanity and nature. China will unswervingly pursue a green, low-carbon, and sustainable development path, continue to engage in international climate cooperation, actively participate in main-channel negotiations on climate change, and provide support and assistance within its capacity to developing countries. China is ready to strengthen exchanges and cooperation on water resources with other countries by implementing the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and will actively participate in the UN General Assembly high-level meetings on water resources. China is also ready to step up cooperation with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on the management of sustainable soil and water resources within the framework of the GDI, to help build greater synergy among countries to enhance water resources management capacity.
K rösi said that the UN looks forward to strengthening cooperation with China to jointly respond to climate change and expects to strengthen cooperation with China in the utilization and management of water resources and to help vulnerable countries meet challenges. He thanked China for its positive posture and constructive role in this regard.
“The world has entered a new period of fluidity and change. Peace and development face daunting challenges and the international community needs to jointly respond to the changes of the world, the times, and history. China has always been committed to its foreign policy goals of upholding world peace and promoting common development, and it is dedicated to promoting a human community with a shared future. No matter how the international landscape may evolve, we will stay committed to peace, development, cooperation, and delivering mutual benefit.”
Foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on November 18, 2022. “The formation and development of the global chip industrial and supply chains are the result of the combined force of market rules and the choices of businesses. Yet a certain country has repeatedly abused its state power to politicize tech and trade issues and use them as a tool and weapon to blockade and suppress China by pushing for decoupling and disrupting industrial and supply chains. This not only seriously undermines international trade rules, but will fragment the global market, and sabotage the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains. Those who perpetrate such self-serving coercive acts are essentially seeking to advance their antichina agenda at the expense of the well-being of all humanity. Such acts find no support and will eventually backfire.”
