Wang noted in his opening speech that the launch coincided with the 80th anniversaries of both the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. The preamble of the UN Charter states that countries should live together in peace as good neighbors and unite to maintain international peace and security, said Wang.
He said that China has consistently advocated for resolving differences through mutual understanding, building consensus through dialogue, promoting development through win-win cooperation and crafting forward-looking solutions — principles that underpin the nation's distinctive approach to addressing global conflicts.
