Seventy-five years ago, the United Nations (UN) was founded on the ruins of two world wars. In April 1945, China, the U.S., the UK, and the Soviet Union presided over the formulation of the UN Charter. The document contains the principles, purposes, rights and obligations of the UN, as well as the authority of its main organs. China became the first country to sign the UN Charter. On October 24, 1945, the UN Charter officially came into force and the UN was officially established, which opened a new chapter in world peace and development. On October 25, 1971, the 26th UN General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, restoring the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China in the UN. A new page in the UN's history started. China opened a new chapter in cooperation with the UN.

Chinese President Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the status and role of the UN and actively leads the cooperation between China and the UN.
