On Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi chaired a UN ministerial-level open debate about the 70th anniversaries of victory of the anti-fascism war and the founding of the United Nations, with the them of reflecting on history and reaffirm the commitment to the principles of the UN Charter. Comments:

Today we live in a world far different from that of 1945. There might not be an immediate global war, but new challenges and threats have emerged, including terrorism, epidemics, cyber threats and climate change. These challenges have exposed the deficiencies of the current international system, and call for efforts to strengthen the UN's role and make it more effective in coping with these common threats.
