Hu Jintao: China to Strengthen Cooperation with UN

China would continue to support the work of the United Nations and its secretary-general, said Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao at a meeting with visiting UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in Beijing on Tuesday.

Hu said China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, would always abide by and safeguard the goals and principles of the UN Charter, and actively take part in all aspects of UN affairs.

He noted that the UN, the most representative and authoritative inter-governmental organization in the world, played a vital role in international affairs.

Under the new circumstances of the new century, said Hu, the UN faced arduous tasks and was shouldering major responsibilities for safeguarding world peace, promoting common development and establishing a just and sound new international political and economic order.

He also praised Annan's efforts to promote world peace and development.

On the UN's role in development, Hu pointed out that to promote progress in developing countries was conducive to the sustained and sound development of the world economy, narrowing the south-north gap, and removing many unstable factors worldwide.

The process of boosting global development and setting up a new world political and economic order required the extensive participation and united cooperation of all countries and the strengthening of the UN's leading and coordinating role, he stressed.

The UN should continue to help developing countries in particular to properly meet the challenges of globalization, and to promote common development and prosperity, Hu added.

Annan, who is here for a working visit as the guest of the Chinese government, briefed Hu on progress in UN reforms and expressed his appreciation for China's consistent support.

Annan said China played an important role in international affairs and UN organizations, as well as in strengthening international cooperation and promoting common development.

He voiced his admiration for China's economic and social progress and said the country's development and changes of recent years were of historical significance for both China and the world at large.

The UN would continue to work with China during China's process of economical and social development, and would jointly tackle new development problems and challenges, said Annan.
