China Leads UN Security Council in February, Aiming for Global Cooperation

🌟 China has stepped into the spotlight, taking on the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for February! 🇨🇳✨

With the world going through some seriously turbulent times (think conflicts hitting a new high since the Cold War 😱), China is gearing up to promote unity and global cooperation. Fu Cong, China\u2019s permanent representative to the UN, shared that there\u2019s a growing call, especially from the Global South, to shake up and improve the global governance system. 🌍🤝

\"At the Security Council, solidarity and cooperation are replaced by division and confrontation. Very often, the council has been unable to do anything in the face of major security crises. This situation cannot continue,\" Fu told the press. 🗣️

So, what's the plan? China is hosting a high-level open debate on February 18, themed \"Practicing Multilateralism, Reforming and Improving Global Governance.\" As we mark the 80th anniversary of the UN this year, it's the perfect time to revisit its original aspirations and figure out how to make global governance work better for everyone! 🎉🌐

The Security Council will also zoom in on hot topics like the Middle East. The goal? Finding lasting political solutions. 🕊️ Fu emphasized the need to keep a close eye on the ceasefire in Gaza, ensure agreements are fully implemented, and maintain open humanitarian access. China is keen to see the Council support the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in its crucial work. 🚑🌏

Africa's on the radar too! With some regions facing volatile political and security situations, there are huge challenges ahead in peacekeeping and humanitarian aid. Fu said, \"The Security Council and the wider international community must maintain and increase their attention and support for Africa.\" 🌍🤲

As president, China aims to work with all council members to promote dialogue and find political solutions to these pressing issues. 🧩💡

Quick reminder: The UN Security Council has 15 members\u2014five permanent ones (China, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia) and ten non-permanent members. The presidency rotates monthly among them. 🔄

Fun fact: China last held the rotating presidency in November 2023! 📅

Stay tuned for more updates as China leads the charge towards a more united and cooperative international community this February! 🚀🌟
