On the afternoon of July 17, President Xi Jinping met with UN Secretary General Guterres, who came to China to attend the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Conference on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence at the Xijiao Hotel in Shanghai. Xi Jinping pointed out that in the 10 years since he served as UN Secretary General, Mr. Guterres has led the UN to firmly defend multilateralism, actively address global challenges such as climate change, promote global governance in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, and begin the UN reform process. China highly praised it. This year marks the 55th anniversary of New China's restoration to its legitimate seat in the United Nations. Over the past 55 years, China has insisted on being a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order, and has always been a staunch supporter of the United Nations. I put forward the concept of building a common destiny of mankind and four major global initiatives. One important consideration is maintaining the status and authority of the United Nations. China will continue to deepen cooperation with the United Nations, promote the cause of world peace and development, and promote the building of a community of human destiny. Xi Jinping stressed that at present, the changing and chaotic aspects of the international situation are more prominent, and it is necessary to further implement true multilateralism and revitalize the status and role of the United Nations. The first is to adhere to fairness and justice. Every country is an equal member of the international community. Every country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and legitimate rights and interests should be respected, and the world must never return to the era of the law of the jungle. The second is to insist on integrity and innovation. Integrity means abiding by the purposes of the United Nations Charter and maintaining the international system and international rules established after the end of World War II; innovation is to push the United Nations to change over time, be brave in self-innovation, and further improve quality and efficiency. The third is to insist on acting responsibly. More than 190 countries around the world are on a large ship with a common destiny, and should work together to tackle global challenges. Big powers should assume more responsibilities and show a larger pattern. China has always actively promoted the exploration of ways for major powers to live properly in the new era through practical actions, injecting more stability and certainty into the world. Guterres said that under President Xi Jinping's strong leadership, no matter how difficult and complicated the international situation is, China has always firmly supported multilateralism, supported the cause of the United Nations, and promoted international cooperation, setting an example for the world. China has always been committed to correcting unbalanced development, addressing climate change, promoting intelligence and goodness, bridging the development gap, and maintaining justice. It has put forward a series of major ideas and initiatives, which is admirable. The United Nations will continue to strengthen cooperation with China, oppose unilateralism, protectionism and overbearing bullying, uphold the UN Charter and international law, promote the multipolarization process of the world, and safeguard the common interests of the international community. Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Wang Yi, and Chen Jining attended the meeting.
