Moscow, May 8 (Xinhua) — China and Russia on Thursday expressed concern over attempts to undermine the post-war international order.
This concern was expressed in a joint statement released on Thursday by China and Russia on further deepening their comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era.
The parties noted with concern that, in pursuit of hegemonic interests, individual countries and their allies are attempting to distort the results of the Victory in World War II, undermine the principles of the post-war international order and weaken the central role of the UN in maintaining peace and security on the planet.
Both countries reaffirmed their strong commitment to upholding international law and opposing any attempts to distort its fundamental principles.
In the statement, the parties indicated that the construction of a more just and sustainable multipolar world order is the prevailing trend of the time.
As the statement emphasizes, individual countries, having indulged in the delusions of hegemonism and neocolonialism, recklessly pursue aggressive policies, limit the sovereignty of other states and suppress their economic and technological development in order to preserve their own privileges. This contradicts the trends of multipolarity and democratization of international relations.
The parties promised to maintain a broad and equal dialogue based on preserving the diversity of civilizations and achieving a balance of power and interests between countries, studying ways to adapt the international architecture to the process of forming a multipolar world in the 21st century.
The countries stressed that China’s concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and a number of global initiatives have important positive significance. The destinies of the peoples of all countries are interconnected, and no state should ensure its security at the expense of others.
The parties noted that unilateral coercive measures taken in circumvention of the UN Security Council, including economic sanctions, contradict the UN Charter and other norms of international law and harm the interests of international security.
China and Russia resolutely opposed unilateral coercive measures that have no basis in international law and have not received the approval of the UN Security Council, and condemned the use of intimidation, restrictions and coercion to put pressure on other countries. –0–
