Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says his country and Russia are committed to the promotion of a multi-polar world order through mutual cooperation.
“Multi-polarity is a main global trend. Our countries share an opinion that the formation of a just and rational multi-polar world order will meet the interests of lasting peace and stability on Earth,” he said in an interview with Interfax before his visit to Russia on Monday.
The Chinese minister added that a multi-polar world order could lead to the “development of all countries and offers them a broader chance.”
Moscow and Beijing have been working together to “promote the idea of multi-polarity for years,” Wang said, stressing that the two nations are joining efforts so that a broad range of developing countries and emerging markets could achieve a higher place and role in global affairs.

He also pointed to the necessity of boosting the UN’s role and authority in global affairs and implementing reforms in the world body.
“We want the United Nations to bear main responsibility for global peace and security,” Wang said, noting, “As to the UN reform, China and Russia think it is necessary to give the vote and decision-making rights at the United Nations to a broader range of developing states, for instance, small and medium-sized countries.”
Furthermore, Wang stated that China and Russia are cooperating with countries in Africa, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, and enjoy good relations with regional organizations launched by the developing states.
