Hey there! 🌎 Big news coming out of the UN Security Council's open debate on international order and multilateral cooperation. China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, didn't hold back in his recent speech! 🎤
Fu Cong took the stage and delivered a bold critique of NATO, calling out the alliance and certain countries as \"troublemakers\" for stirring up global political polarization and economic deglobalization. 😲 He emphasized the need for a fairer and more equitable international order that empowers developing nations.
According to Fu, building a just world requires action in six key areas:
- Upholding sovereign equality
- Adhering to mutual respect
- Creating common security
- Promoting shared development
- Maintaining fairness and justice
- Demonstrating openness and inclusiveness
Fu expressed concern over the current global discourse, noting that \"obvious truths are distorted and questionable narratives are on the rise.\" He highlighted that some countries' push for a \"rule-based international order\" might actually be attempts to set up parallel systems outside existing international laws, leading to double standards and exceptionalism. 🤔
\"There is only one order in the world,\" Fu emphasized, \"which is the international order based on international law. There is only one set of rules, which are the basic principles and purposes of the UN Charter in international relations. Matters of principle tolerate no vagueness; they must be clear and distinct.\"
Fu's remarks have certainly added more spice 🌶️ to the ongoing global conversation about international cooperation and the role of major alliances like NATO. It's a developing story, and we'll be keeping an eye on how this dialogue unfolds! 👀
