Xi's address applauded as path for UN

China envoy says president's speech to General Assembly lays out shared future

China's ambassador to the United Nations said President Xi Jinping's speech at a UN summit on Monday gave important guidance for a strong UN by conveying a clear message of support and confidence for multilateralism and a shared future for mankind.

The remarks by Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, came after Xi's speech at a UN General Assembly high-level meeting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the international organization.

"The feeling I want to highlight is that President Xi pointed out the direction for the future of the United Nations, added confidence and injected strength. This is also the common feeling of representatives of many countries," he said.
