今年是新中国恢复联合国合法席位55周年。55年来，中国作为安理会常任理事国，积极参与推动了联合国事业。站在新的历史起点，中国将继续担大义、行大道，同各国在多边主义旗帜下实现更大团结，推动建设更加公正合理的全球治理体系，共同朝着构建人类命运共同体的目标前进。

This year, we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the restoration of the new China’s lawful seat in the UN. Over the past 55 years, as the permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has been actively participating in and advancing the cause of the UN. At the new historical starting point, China will continue doing more things for greater good, championing multilateralism and pursuing greater solidarity to build a more just and equitable global governance system and move towards the goal of building a community with a shared future for humanity.
