On the evening of October 18, President Xi Jinping met in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Secretary General Guterres of the United Nations, who was in China to attend the Third "Belt and Road" Forum for International Cooperation.

President Xi Jinping emphasized that the world today faces many global threats and challenges, and the international community must unite and cooperate to pay more attention to development issues. I propose to build a community with a shared future for mankind in order to find the right path to work together to address various global challenges; The purpose of jointly building the "Belt and Road" initiative and the global development initiative is to gather more positive energy, promote the common development of all countries, help the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and not let any country fall behind.

President Xi Jinping pointed out that since the "Belt and Road" initiative was put forward 10 years ago, it has achieved many tangible results and demonstrated vigorous vitality. Peaches and plums remain silent, but they make their own way. Jointly building the "Belt and Road" has become a popular global public product and international cooperation platform. The United Nations is an important partner in jointly building the "Belt and Road". China is willing to work with United Nations agencies to solidly promote high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and contribute to world peace and development. China supports the work of the United Nations and Secretary General Guterres, and is willing to strengthen cooperation with United Nations agencies to promote multilateralism and world multipolarity, and to promote global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction.

Secretary General Guterres stated that developing countries are in a fragile and unfair position in terms of infrastructure and investment and financing, and the international financial system can no longer reflect the current political and economic realities of the world, and there is an urgent need for reform. The "Belt and Road" initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping provides a very important and effective way to help developing countries achieve sustainable development, and sets a model for South South cooperation. The eight actions announced by President Xi Jinping at the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation are fully in line with the purposes and objectives of the United Nations and are conducive to helping developing countries accelerate their development. The United Nations highly appreciates China's unwavering commitment to multilateralism, supports President Xi Jinping's three major global initiatives, and is firmly committed to deepening cooperation with China.
