Remarks by H.E. Wang Yi

Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee andMinister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China

At the United Nations Security Council High-Level Meeting“Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the U.N. Charter andStrengthening the U.N.-Centered International System”

New York, May 26, 2026

尊敬的古特雷斯秘书长、各位同事：

Your Excellency Secretary General António Guterres,

Colleagues,

感谢古特雷斯秘书长出席今天的会议并作通报。

I thank Secretary General Guterres for attending the meeting and for his briefing.

当前，国际形势正经历二战结束以来最复杂深刻变化。战争阴云不断翻涌，丛林法则沉渣泛起。人类文明的航船正驶入危险水域，世界和平发展事业处于十字路口。

We are gathered here at a time when the international situation is undergoing the most complex and profound changes since the end of World War II. The dark clouds of war keep gathering and the law of the jungle is resurging. The giant ship of human civilization is sailing into dangerous waters, and world peace and development is at a crossroads.

正如安理会厅这幅壁画所描绘的，世界在二战废墟上浴火重生，历史在逆流险阻中曲折前行。眼下的挑战，考验的是国际社会守护和平的信念，秉持公道的决心，革故鼎新的勇气。我们要团结起来，行动起来，维护联合国，激活联合国，壮大联合国。

Just as this mural in the Security Council chamber depicts, the world was reborn from the ashes of World War II, and history keeps moving forward amid twists and turns. The challenges confronting us are testing the international community’s commitment to safeguarding peace, its resolve to stand up for justice, and its courage to take bold reforms. We must stand united and act together to defend, revitalize and strengthen the U.N.

一是重振联合国宪章，彰显更强引领力。联合国宪章建立了以联合国为核心的国际体系，确立了处理国与国关系的规范，奠定了国际法治的基石，是战后国际社会的最大公约数。当今世界种种乱象，究其根源，不是宪章的精神过时了，而是宪章所确立的国际秩序未得到有效维护，宪章所体现的国际关系基本准则未得到切实遵守。

First, we need to reinvigorate the U.N. Charter for stronger leadership. The Charter has established the U.N.-centered international system, the norms governing state-to-state relations, and the foundation for international rule of law. It is the biggest common denominator of the postwar international community. The root cause of the chaos in today’s world is not that the Charter’s spirit is outdated, but that the international order and the basic norms governing international relations, both set out in the Charter, are not being effectively upheld and observed.

国际社会应回归宪章初心，弘扬宪章精神，履行宪章义务。坚持主权平等，反对干涉内政。坚持和平解决争端，反对使用武力。坚持维护二战胜利成果，反对美化侵略历史。各会员国应确保本国政策符合宪章精神，共同恪守宪章，践行宪章。大国尤其要负起责任，带头讲法治、行正道，不能搞双重标准、例外主义和选择性适用。

The international community should return to the founding vision of the Charter, carry forward its spirit and fulfill the obligations under it. We must uphold sovereign equality, oppose interference in internal affairs; uphold the peaceful settlement of disputes, oppose the use of force; uphold the victorious outcomes of World War II, oppose glorifying the history of aggression. All member states should align their policies with the spirit of the Charter and jointly observe and act on the Charter. Major countries, in particular, have the responsibility to lead by example in following the rule of law and the right path, and should not practice double standards, exceptionalism or selective application.

二是重振安理会权威，展现更强行动力。安理会是国际集体安全机制的核心，是多边安全体系最具权威性和合法性的机构。世界越是动荡，安理会越要展现领导力，有效管控冲突及其外溢效应。

Second, we need to reinvigorate the authority of the Security Council for greater ability to act. The Security Council is the core of the international collective security mechanism, and is the most authoritative and legitimate body in the multilateral security system. The more volatile the world, the greater the leadership required of the Security Council to effectively manage conflicts and their spillovers.

安理会成员身份不是特权，而是责任，要超越国别私利，负责任运用国际公器。安理会应进一步优化完善议事规则，确保提案的客观性、公正性和包容性，避免强推争议明显的提案或倡议。五常应当就重大提案加强沟通协调，尽力寻求共识，减少对立对抗，切实维护安理会的团结和信誉。国际社会也应当自觉维护安理会权威，任何绕开安理会授权的单边军事行动都不可接受，任何超出安理会决议范畴的单边制裁都不具合法性。联合国维和行动是为和平而生，为和平而存。要审视维和行动的意义和成效，通过必要改革推动转型升级，真正发挥捍卫和平的作用。

What comes with Security Council membership is not privileges, but responsibilities. Members should rise above the narrow national interests and use international public goods responsibly. The Security Council needs to further improve its Rules of Procedure to ensure proposals are objective, impartial and inclusive, and avoid forcing through contentious proposals or initiatives. The five permanent members should increase communication and coordination on major proposals, seek maximum commonality and reduce contention and confrontation, and take effective actions to uphold the solidarity and credibility of the Council. The international community should also conscientiously defend the Council’s authority. Any unilateral military action that circumvents the Council’s mandate is unacceptable, and any unilateral sanction that exceeds the Council’s resolutions lacks legitimacy.U.N. peacekeeping operations are created and carried out for peace. The value and effectiveness of peacekeeping operations should be assessed, and necessary reforms should be undertaken to transform and upgrade them in order to truly safeguard peace.

三是重振国际发展合作，汇聚更强动员力。发展是解决一切问题的总钥匙，必须置于国际议程的中心。面对可持续发展目标执行严重滞后，联合国要大力协调全球行动，充分动员全球资源。要筑牢发展支柱，做强发展系统，在减贫等重点领域为南方国家提供更多资金、技术和智力支持，推动发达国家切实履行发展筹资承诺。

Third, we need to reinvigorate global development cooperation for stronger mobilization. Development, as the key to all problems, must remain at the center of the international agenda. As the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is woefully behind schedule, the U.N. needs to vigorously coordinate global actions and fully mobilize global resources. It is important to solidify the pillar of development, strengthen the development system, provide countries of the Global South with more funding, technological and intellectual support in key areas such as poverty reduction, and urge developed countries to deliver on their development financing pledges.

联合国要旗帜鲜明地反对保护主义和单边行径，反对经贸问题泛安全化，反对科技封锁和脱钩断链。要推动国际货币基金组织、世界银行等金融机构切实提升发展中国家的代表性和发言权。中方支持联合国同金砖国家、二十国集团、新开发银行、亚洲基础设施投资银行加强对话，构建普惠均衡的全球经济金融治理体系。

The U.N. should unequivocally oppose protectionism and unilateral actions, oppose securitizing economic and trade issues, and oppose sci-tech blockade, decoupling and cutting off supply chain. It is imperative to earnestly increase the representation and say of developing countries at the IMF and the World Bank. China supports the U.N. in strengthening dialogue with BRICS countries, the G20, the New Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, for a universally beneficial and balanced global economic and financial governance system.

四是重振全球治理平台，塑造更强执行力。面对层出不穷的新威胁、新挑战，任何国家都无法独善其身，团结应对才是唯一出路。要牢固树立人类命运共同体意识，以协商代替胁迫，以共赢代替零和，以大团结破除小圈子。要弘扬全人类共同价值，倡导文明交流、相互包容，摒弃文明冲突和文明优越论。要站稳多边主义立场，发挥好联合国作为全球治理的核心平台作用，支持以联合国为主渠道，建立普遍接受的国际规则和协调机制。

Fourth, we need to reinvigorate the global governance platform for stronger execution capacity. Faced with emerging threats and challenges, no country can stay unaffected. A united response is the only way forward. We should strengthen the sense of a community with a shared future for humanity, replace coercion with consultation, zero-sum with win-win, and small circles with greater unity. We should advocate the common values of humanity, promote intercivilizational exchange and inclusiveness, and reject the notion of clash of civilizations and superiority. We should stand firmly for multilateralism, give full play to the role of the U.N. as the core platform for global governance, and support establishing universally-accepted international rules and coordination mechanisms with the U.N. as the main channel.

中方支持联合国在政治解决热点问题上发挥更大作用，探讨建立联合国、区域组织、利益攸关方、专业机构共同参与的综合斡旋模式。中方呼吁加快气候行动，建立资金与技术援助承诺的定期审计和问责机制。针对人工智能技术带来的伦理、安全等风险，及时构建以联合国为核心的制度护栏。就外空、极地、网络等领域治理制定综合性解决方案，避免新疆域成为零和博弈的“法外之地”。

China supports the U.N. in playing a bigger role in the political settlement of hotspot issues, and supports exploring an integrated mediation model encompassing the U.N., regional organizations, stakeholders and specialized agencies. China calls for expediting climate actions, and establishing regular audit and accountability mechanisms for financial and technology assistance commitments. As AI brings with it moral and security risks, we need the prompt establishment of institutional guardrails with the U.N. at the center. Comprehensive solutions on the governance of outer space, the polar regions and cyberspace should be developed, to prevent new frontiers from becoming lawless domains of zero-sum competition.

五是重振联合国系统效能，培育更强生命力。联合国是战后国际体系的核心，作用只能加强、不能削弱，地位必须维护、不能取代。各会员国要切实履行对联合国的财政义务，支持联合国履职尽责，不断为联合国事业添砖加瓦，不能动辄“毁约退群”，更不能另搞一套。

Fifth, we need to reinvigorate the effectiveness of the U.N. system for stronger vitality. The U.N. is at the center of the postwar international system. Its role should only be enhanced, not weakened, and its standing upheld, not replaced. Member states should fulfill their financial obligations with real actions, support the U.N. in performing its mandate, and steadily contribute to the cause of the U.N., rather than willfully withdraw from treaties and organizations, still less establish alternatives.

面对新形势新挑战，联合国也需要自我革新，更好适应时代发展、提升交付能力，为各国人民带来可感、可及的成果。中方支持尽快落实“联合国80周年改革倡议”，坚持改革正确方向，进一步提质增效。要尊重会员国主导权，确保平衡推进三大支柱，回应发展中国家诉求，防止改革失焦。要精简联合国系统的重叠机构与重复授权，加大资源整合，推广效率文化。

Given the new situation and challenges, the U.N. also needs to reform to better adapt to changing times, be better equipped to deliver, and bring tangible and accessible results to people around the world. China supports early deliverance of the U.N. 80 Initiative, keeping to the right direction of reform, and boosting efficacy. The ownership of member states should be respected, the three pillars should advance in a balanced manner, and the aspirations of developing countries should be addressed to keep reforms on the right focus. Overlapping bodies and mandates in the U.N. system should be streamlined, resources better integrated, and a culture of efficiency promoted.

秘书长先生、各位同事，

Mr. Secretary General,

Colleagues,

今年是新中国恢复联合国合法席位55周年。55年来，中国作为安理会常任理事国，积极参与推动了联合国事业。

This year marks the 55th anniversary of the restoration of the lawful seat of the People’s Republic of China in the U.N. For 55 years, as a permanent member of the Security Council, China has taken an active part in the U.N. cause.

在世界动荡变革之时，中国高举旗帜。习近平主席提出构建人类命运共同体重要理念和四大全球倡议，迅速得到国际社会广泛响应。在国际冲突频发之时，中国劝和促谈。我们践行中国特色热点问题解决之道，包括在联合国平台发起成立乌克兰危机“和平之友”小组，不断为世界和平贡献智慧与力量。在全球发展困顿之时，中国赋能增效。全球发展倡议已动员230多亿美元资金，开展1800多个合作项目，为发展中国家举办了上万期能力建设项目，培训各类人才超20万名，有力支持全球南方发展振兴。在重大公共危机面前，中国千里驰援。继2015年全力支持西非三国抗击埃博拉疫情之后，中国愿向近期暴发埃博拉疫情的刚果（金）和乌干达提供力所能及的帮助。此时此刻，中国医疗队就在当地坚守，同非洲兄弟并肩奋战在抗疫第一线。在多边主义遭遇逆风之时，中国挺膺担当。我们认真履行联合国第二大会费国的财政义务，设立并用好中国—联合国和平与发展基金、全球发展和南南合作基金，倡议成立国际调解院、世界数据组织，筹建世界人工智能合作组织，积极申办《海洋生物多样性协定》秘书处，用实际行动为多边主义立柱架梁。

Amid international turbulence and transformation, China holds its banner high. President Xi Jinping put forward the important vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the four global initiatives, which quickly gained widespread international support. Amid frequent global conflicts, China promotes peace talks. We practice the Chinese way of resolving hotspot issues, including initiating the Group of Friends for Peace on the Ukraine crisis at the U.N. platform, constantly contributing our wisdom and efforts to maintaining world peace. Amid global development impasse, China empowers and enhances. The Global Development Initiative has mobilized over US$23 billion of funds, supported over 1,800 cooperation projects, delivered over 10,000 capacity building programs for developing countries, and trained over 200,000 professionals in different fields, giving a strong boost to the development and vitalization of the Global South. Amid major public crises, China races to help. In 2015, China provided full support for three West African countries in fighting Ebola. We are now ready to assist, to the best of our ability, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda in the recent Ebola outbreak. As we speak, Chinese medical teams are on the ground fighting the disease shoulder to shoulder with African brothers. When multilateralism runs into headwinds, China steps up to its responsibility. We have earnestly fulfilled our financial obligations as the second largest contributor to the U.N. budget, set up and made good use of the China-U.N. Peace and Development Fund and the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, and initiated the International Organization for Mediation and the World Data Organization. We are preparing for the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, and actively bidding to host the BBNJ Secretariat. In doing so, we are building pillars for multilateralism through concrete actions.

大国之大，在于利天下。今年是中国“十五五”开局之年。站在新的历史起点，中国将继续担大义、行大道，同各国在多边主义旗帜下实现更大团结，推动建设更加公正合理的全球治理体系，共同朝着构建人类命运共同体的目标迈步前进。

A country’s greatness lies in serving the greater good. This year marks the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. From this historic point onward, China will continue to uphold principles and follow the path of justice. Together with all countries, we will pursue greater unity under the banner of multilateralism, promote a more just and equitable global governance system, and move toward the goal of building a community with a shared future for humanity.

谢谢。

Thank you.
