On July 24, the UN Security Council held an high-level Open VTC on "Climate and Security". Ambassador Zhang Jun, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, emphasized that:

Looking at today's world, we can see that some country's irresponsible and crazy act of unilateralism and bullying practice is causing greater danger. Should this go unchecked, international rule of law, equity, justice, equality and mutual trust will no longer exist, and the world will descend into absolute chaos. We must stand together and fight back.

No matter how the world may evolve, China will always side with multilateralism and international justice, firmly uphold the international order based on international law, reject hegemonism and bullying practice, and oppose self-proclaimed supremacy and power politics. China will work closely with other members of the international community to build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, security and prosperity for all.
