China has upheld international order and pursued multilateralism unremittingly, Wang said, adding that China believes that to uphold multilateralism in the new era, four principles need to be adhered to. "Multilateralism requires a strong United Nations," Wang said, expressing China's support for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in his efforts to advance reform of the UN in the critical areas of peace and security, economic development and internal management. This path has not only brought fundamental changes to China, but also provided the world with opportunities for common development, he said. "This is determined by what defines China as a country and by the system and values China upholds. No matter how much China has grown in strength, and however the international landscape may change, this strategic priority of China will remain unchanged," he said.
