In the historic port city of Tianjin, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sat down with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to mark a milestone year: the 80th anniversary of both the World Anti-Fascist War victory and the founding of the United Nations. Against a backdrop of shifting global challenges, Wang Yi praised the UN as “irreplaceable” in steering the world toward peace and progress.
As the international landscape evolves, Wang stressed, the UN’s central role must be strengthened—not diminished. The meeting took place ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025, underscoring the importance of multilateral forums in today’s interconnected world.
“The best way to honor 80 years of the UN,” Wang Yi said, “is to uphold a correct understanding of World War II history, embrace multilateralism, and support the UN at the heart of international affairs.” His comments highlight a renewed call for unity and collective action among nations facing complex crises—from regional conflicts to climate change.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers navigating an uncertain future, the reminder is clear: only through cooperation and shared responsibility can we build a safer, more equitable world.
