UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- President of the 72nd Session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly Miroslav Lajcak said here Monday he
welcomed the fact that China is now playing a leading role in the multilateral
system and global affairs.
Lajcak said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua that China has already occupied a significant position as one of the five Permanent Members of the UN
Security Council and has emerged as one of the main contributors to the UN
budget and financing for development.
China's commitment to establish a ten-year-long, 1-billion-U.S.-dollar China-UN peace and development fund is particularly helpful, Lajcak said.
"I am also heartened by China's pledge to join the new UN Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System (PCRS) and take the lead in setting up a permanent
peacekeeping police squad and building a peacekeeping standby force of 8,000
troops," he said.
The UN PCRS aims to liaise between UN headquarters and its member states to ensure "readiness and timely deployment of quality peacekeeping
capabilities Mika Zibanejad Rangers Jersey ," said the system's overview.
Lajcak, who released a "Roadmap for Sustaining Peace" last month, said the purpose of the roadmap is to focus efforts and build momentum ahead of the
high-level meeting on peace-building and sustaining peace.
The concept of sustaining peace is groundbreaking as it redefines the UN's approach to peace by adopting a long-term perspective and focuses on conflict
prevention, he said.
He also said that the notion of sustaining peace stems from a growing understanding that the UN efforts should go beyond addressing the immediate
needs of conflict-affected countries, he said, adding that to make peace last,
each country like China should have its role to play.
China's involvement in the adoption of the universal and transformational 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was key Mats Zuccarello Rangers Jersey , he said, praising China's job in establishing an assistance fund for South-South cooperation in support of
developing countries' efforts to implement the agenda.
China was among the first countries to ratify the Paris Agreement and pledged 3.1 billion dollars to the South-South Cooperation Fund on Climate Change, which
was an important move for developing countries.
Lajcak said that although multilateralism is being challenged, it remains the best approach to confront shared challenges and achieve joint success. In this
modern era, countries cannot face challenges alone, he said.
"The United Nations should serve as a forum to address our common challenges. And it must also be a space to generate solutions for mutual benefit. This is
the very essence of what the United Nations is about. We must position the
multilateral system to better serve our people and deliver on their
aspirations," Lajcak said.
People are not involved in the negotiation of resolutions Henrik Lundqvist Rangers Jersey , nor do they take the floor at high-level events, so it is one of the tasks of the General Assembly to make sure that
their voices can still be heard, he said.
