Axar.az reports citing foreign media that Xi Jinping stressed, the UN has made important contributions to world peace and development since its founding 75 years ago. The international community should take the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the UN as an opportunity to reaffirm its firm support for multilateralism and solemn commitment to the UN Charter. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China will firmly support the UN in playing a central role in international affairs and its work.

Xi Jinping pointed out, the COVID-19 pandemic is still spreading around the world and we should not slacken our efforts in the global fight against COVID-19. The Chinese side is willing to share experience and practices with all sides without reservation and continue to provide support and assistance for countries in need. The Chinese side firmly supports the key leadership of the UN system, especially the World Health Organization, in strengthening international cooperation and joint prevention and containment of the pandemic, to jointly build a global community of health for all. China will honour its commitment to make COVID-19 vaccines a global public good after putting them into use following the completion of vaccine development and make contributions to ensuring vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries.
