Press, thank you for your patience.
Now let's welcome Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Firstly, we want to ask foreign minister to make some comments.
Chan Gui Ali chain in i Chinese.
X on each in please.
Well, dear friends from the media, just now, the Security Council convened a high level open debate titled upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and strengthening the UN centered international system.
While this meeting was initiated by China as the president of the UN Security Council, Because as we have seen, for the recent period of time, the purposes of the UN charter have been disregarded.
The basic norms of international relations have been undermined and world peace and security are in great jeopardy.
At this critical juncture, we believe that the Security Council must step forward and the Security Council must shoulder its responsibilities.
China's initiative has received warm responses from all countries.
During the meeting, Secretary-General Gutierrez, foreign ministers and senior representatives of over 20 countries jointly revisited the founding mission of the United Nations and have lively and deep going discussions on upholding the UN, reinvigorating the UN, and strengthening the UN, and we have achieved important consensus.
Te nan, Logush, Negin.

We all believe that the UN charter, rather than becoming outdated, remains the cornerstone of the international order, and the status of the United Nations at the center can only be strengthened, not weakened because we don't hope international relations to return to the law of the jungle, and we all need to uphold the same system, that is the international system with the UN at the core.
And we need to observe the same set of rules, that is the basic norms governing international relations based on the UN charter.
Ish teach.
You have show.
No.
We all believe that for the UN to better play its role, it must enhance its ability to act.
In particular, the Security Council should shoulder the primary responsibility for maintaining peace and play its dual role in managing crisis.
UN agencies also need timely reform in order to better and more effectively respond to the common concerns of the international community.
It book.
So book statute without changing the dogs go when changes.
We all believe that the trend toward a multipolar world is unstoppable.
Having international affairs monopolized by one or a few countries are not in line with the trend of the times.
The right thing to do is to steadfastly follow the path of multilateralism, maintain unity to the maximum degree, oppose division, seek cooperation, reject confrontation, and work together to inject much needed stability and certainty to today's world.

Also, we agree that currently the global governance is clearly lagging behind and needs to keep abreast with the times and improve through reform.
It should reflect the wills of all countries in a more balanced manner and ensure all countries participate equally and all will share and the benefits from it.
It is particularly important to increase the representation and say of the global South and work together to build a more fair and equitable global governance system.
S changed.
We Alba we we got god.
Chung hygien engineer two, human is real Let change time.
And so.
Last year I put forward the global governance initiative and has been warmly and widely supported by the international community.
The day after tomorrow on the 28th of May, China will hold here a meeting of the group of friends of global governance in order to build new consensus and inject new impetus to the reform and improvement of global governance.
In addition, in this fall, China will also hold a global governance forum in Xinyuan a city of the future in China.
We look forward to be joining my friends from all countries to have a joint discussion on global governance.
However, no matter how international situation may change, China will always be a strong defender of the United Nations, a true supporter for multilateralism, and an active promoter of global governance.
Thank you.
A couple of questions.
First goes with how don't want to take that get that voter From CCTV, well, right now there are voices internationally that the Security Council is playing a lesser role in diffusing conflicts and ending war.
What is China's comment and what advice does China have for the Security Council to better fulfill its responsibility? Kai, Aidan, three X Hi.
Well, after over 80 years of vicissitudes, the Security Council is still the core of the global collective security mechanism, shouldering primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security.
At the same time, we need to admit that in recent years on major hotpot issues, the Security Council is found to be absent from time to time.
So in order to reinvigorate the United Nations, we need to first reinvigorate the Security Council.
Mobile, helps in Shuang within each.
I mean, f following which one.

To reach that objective, first of all, all members of the Security Council need to take maintaining peace as their mission, observe the charter, uphold justice, and refrain from pursuing their own interest or creating block based confrontation.
Secondly, it is important to increase the voice and say of developing countries and small and medium sized countries to reform, in particular, to address the historical injustice of Africa.
Thirdly, it is important to make proposals at the Security Council more objective, fair, and inclusive.
And the P five countries in particular should lead by example.
Fourthly, the international community should work together to reject all kinds of unilateral actions that circumvent the Security Council so that unilateral bullying will find no market and have no legitimacy.
Thank you.

And of course, Mr.
Foreign Minister is Padre Robo from Mason and his agency.
China is both a permanent member of the Security Council and one and Iran's largest trading partner and Beijing is reported to be open to taking custody of Iran enriched rainium as part of a potential deal.
How does China believe the current stalemate can be eased? And also, more specifically, does Beijing think the Security Council should play a more direct role in guaranteeing any future agreement between, of course, Iran and the United States.
Thank you so much.
That is symptoms golden.

We have maintained communication and coordination with major parties concerned, as well as international important regional and international partners.
Believe that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of all countries in the region must be respected.
Civilian and and non military targets must be protected.
The security of passages and energy infrastructure must be safeguarded and the provisions of the nuclear nonproliferation regime must be implemented.

I have Chitkj Chu Wang Chen.

Hanging change.
Regarding the current situation, the key is the negotiation between the United States and Iran because they are the major parties concerned.
We support the active mediation by Pakistan and other countries.
Before we came here, I met with Marshal Muner of Pakistan.
We also support efforts made by the United States and Iran respectively.
As we have been saying, it takes more than one cold day to freeze three feet of ice and longstanding issues cannot be resolved overnight.
However, every step forward in the negotiation brings more hope to peace and one day earlier the conflict is ended means less civilian casualties.
Hope that the parties concerned can stay committed to pursuing a ceasefire and continue to meet each other halfway so that peace can return to the Middle East as early as possible.
We believe that once an agreement is reached, it will be submitted to the UN Security Council for endorsement for it to have legitimacy and authority.
Next for gentleman, Denis.
