Fu said China believes that to build a more just and equitable international order, the focus should be on six areas: upholding sovereign equality in a multipolar system; respecting each nation’s development path without interference; building common security through dialogue; promoting inclusive economic globalization; upholding fairness and justice by strengthening the UN and developing countries’ voices; and fostering openness, dialogue and shared human values.
The Security Council meeting was chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who said the US “has long declared its own exceptionalism”.
He said the United States requires “unquestionable obedience” from its allies, “even to the detriment of their national interests”.
Lavrov said that Rule America, “the essence of the notorious rules-based order”, is a “direct threat to multilateralism and international law”, adding that the UN Charter and the Security Council’s decisions are “perversely interpreted by the collective West”.
