Hey there, global citizens! 🌍 In a world facing unprecedented challenges, China's stepping up and calling for unity and action. 🙌
Chen Xu, China's permanent representative to the UN Office in Geneva, made a heartfelt plea at the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent held from October 28 to 31. He urged all nations to turn their promises under the Geneva Conventions into real actions, ensuring that international humanitarian law is not just words on paper but a living commitment. 📜✨
Highlighting the tough humanitarian situation worldwide, Chen stressed the need for everyone to embrace genuine multilateralism—countries working together sincerely—to push forward peace and progress for all humanity. 🤝🌏
Touching on the Palestine-Israel conflict, he emphasized the urgent need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire to ease humanitarian suffering. He called on major players with influence to step up and play a constructive role. 🕊️💔
Chen also reminded everyone that civilians and places like hospitals and schools should never be targets in conflicts. He urged for safe, unimpeded access for humanitarian aid in conflict zones to protect those risking their lives to help others. 🩺🚑
He pointed out that developed countries have a bigger role to play in supporting developing nations, emphasizing sharing resources and lending a hand to those who need it most. 🌱🌟
Reaffirming China's commitment, Chen said the country has always been dedicated to upholding and implementing international humanitarian law, actively participating and contributing to global humanitarian efforts. 🇨🇳✊
It's a powerful reminder that when it comes to making the world a better place, we're all in this together. Let's hope these words spark real change! 💪❤️
