According to Xinhua writer Wang Jiangang, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President Miroslav Lajcak has said that China's continuous support and investment in the UN are "fundamental to the functioning and credibility of this organization," particularly at a time when multilateralism is constantly challenged.
Lajcak also spoke highly of China's initiatives and development concepts, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and (building a community with a) Shared Future for Humanity.
Concerning how to protect multilateralism, he said that "we are living in a constantly evolving world with various challenges and uncertainties. None of us is able to deal with these issues alone.
"It is in our best interest to continue to strengthen the UN system and multilateralism," Lajcak said, adding that "multilateral solutions are a must, not an option."
When asked on the US withdrawal from a number of UN agencies or programs, he said, "I believe that our collective work to ensure a better world will benefit from more dialogue and collaboration, not less. I would encourage all member states to remain closely engaged with all UN agencies, programs and processes."
