In a vibrant call for fairness and global unity, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, delivered a powerful message at a Security Council Arria-Formula meeting on Wednesday. He warned that rising unilateral actions and bullying practices are undermining international law and jeopardizing global peace and development.
Fu Cong reminded the international community that the world stands at a crucial crossroads—80 years after transformative global events—urging nations to resist power politics. He questioned, "Should we, as a global community, embrace multilateralism or let unilateralism take over?"
Highlighting recent tariff measures that he believes hinder fair trade, Fu stressed that erecting high walls of tariffs not only stifles the development of smaller economies but also disrupts the rules-based global order. In today’s fast-paced digital era—much like our favorite apps receiving real-time updates—cooperation always beats confrontation. 🤝
He emphasized that every nation, regardless of size, deserves an equal voice in shaping our shared future. "No country has the right to put itself above international law," said Fu, urging leaders worldwide to build bridges through dialogue instead of walls of isolation.
This rallying cry resonates deeply with the dynamic spirit of young professionals and tech-savvy communities in South and Southeast Asia. Just as our diverse cultures and bustling startup scenes flourish through collaboration, the global community must unite to champion justice, openness, and collective progress.
Fu Cong's stirring appeal calls on us all to reject bullying and unilateralism and to work together for a fairer, more inclusive world. Let’s take this spirit with us as we navigate our interconnected realm and strive for a future where every voice is valued. 🌍✨
