It is the unremitting pursuit of the Chinese government to respect and protect human rights, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi while meeting the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
Noting that global human rights governance faces complex challenges, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said expressed hope that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) will adhere to multilateralism, perform its duties fairly and objectively and engage in constructive dialogue and cooperation with various countries.
China opposes certain countries politicizing human rights and using human rights issues for confrontation, Wang said.
China stands ready to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the OHCHR based on mutual respect and jointly promote the sound development of the international human rights cause, he said.
For his part, Turk said that the OHCHR is willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with China to enhance mutual understanding.
