Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urges stronger representation for developing nations at the United Nations while warning of mounting global instability and calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
China has called for a stronger voice for developing nations at the United Nations, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi urging reforms that would give the Global South greater influence in international decision-making.
Speaking at the United Nations, Wang stressed that all countries, regardless of their size, wealth, or military strength, should be treated as equal members of the international community. He argued that the UN must better reflect the interests and concerns of developing nations as the world faces a growing number of interconnected crises.
The Chinese diplomat delivered a stark assessment of global affairs, warning that the “ship of civilisation” has entered dangerous waters marked by uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and emerging risks. He said new challenges are appearing rapidly while long-standing disputes remain unresolved, creating a complex environment for global governance.
Wang emphasized the importance of preserving the authority and central role of the United Nations in addressing international challenges. He also referenced a Chinese white paper aimed at building international consensus on effective responses to global instability.
On the Middle East, Wang called for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, urging all sides to work toward a sustainable regional security framework. China has consistently promoted dialogue and diplomatic solutions in major international conflicts, including those involving the Middle East and Ukraine.
