Chinese Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, spoke at the commemorative meeting of the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation on the 12th, calling for upholding true multilateralism and jointly promoting international development cooperation. Zhang Jun said that the international community should actively build a more equal, open, and cooperative global partnership, forming a strong joint force for promoting development together. Developed countries should effectively fulfill their official development assistance commitments and fully reflect the role of the main channel of North-South cooperation. Developing countries should assist each other within their capabilities and actively play a complementary role in South-South cooperation. Zhang Jun emphasized the need to prioritize development and continuously deepen South-South cooperation. The United Nations bears the primary responsibility for international development cooperation and should prioritize development issues; We should vigorously advocate unity and cooperation, and create a good political environment and conditions; We should actively play a coordinating role, mobilize development institutions to prioritize supporting South-South cooperation, and promote international financial institutions such as multilateral development banks to provide more resources to developing countries. Developing countries should firmly uphold the basic principles of respecting sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs in South-South cooperation, strengthen the sharing of development experiences and best practices, and continue to deepen South-South cooperation. Zhang Jun said that we should adhere to the action oriented approach and deepen practical cooperation. The international community should take addressing common challenges as the starting point, focus on the urgent needs of developing countries, adopt practical measures, and provide funding, technology, and capacity building support in poverty reduction, climate change, digital economy, and green development, to help developing countries achieve sustainable development. Zhang Jun stated that China firmly supports South-South cooperation and insists on doing its best to help other developing countries achieve common development, always being a pioneer of South-South cooperation. The global development initiative proposed by Chinese leaders has injected strong momentum into global development cooperation and the implementation of the sustainable development agenda. China is willing to continue to work with all parties to deepen South South cooperation under the global development initiative and provide new assistance for accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
