Li Keqiang expressed that this year coincides with the 70th anniversary of the founding of the UN. Under the current international situation, the UN has played an important role in maintaining world peace and promoting common development. China will continue to support the work of the UN and the UN Secretary-General, and looks forward to and will actively push for significant consensuses from the series of summits that will be held by the UN this year, so as to safeguard the victorious results of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order and promote the cause of global peace and sustainable development for new progress and breakthroughs.
