Mr. President,
Colleagues,

Seventy years ago, our forebears secured victory in the bloody
struggle of the world’s war against fascism, bringing an end to a dark
chapter in human history. This was no easy victory.
Seventy years ago, our forebears established the United Nations
through their shrewd foresight. The UN became the world’s most
universal, representative, and authoritative international organization,
bearing a new vision for humanity and ushering in a new era of
cooperation. This move was unprecedented in its significance.
Seventy years ago, our forebears pooled their wisdom and drafted
the Charter of the United Nations, laying the foundation for the
contemporary international order, and establishing the basic principles
of contemporary international relations. This was an achievement with
far-reaching implications.

Mr. President,
Colleagues,
On the third of September, the Chinese people joined the people of
the world in solemnly commemorating the 70th anniversary of victory in
the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and
the world’s war against fascism. China was the main battleground in the
East, and thus the Chinese nation was made to sacrifice 35 million lives
