UN Under-Secretary-General for Field Support Atul Khare addresses the opening of the photo exhibition "CPLA (Chinese People's Liberation Army): A Force for World Peace" at the UN headquarters in New York, on Feb. 11, 2019. Unilateralism and protectionism have been eroding the global governance system throughout 2019, prompting widespread concern among members of the international community. Braving such headwinds, China has been doing its utmost to defend multilateralism, via concrete actions such as paying in full all it owes for the 2019 UN regular budget, actively participating in climate action, strongly backing UN peacekeeping operations, and vigorously promoting dialogue and consultation so as to resolve global and regional hotspot issues.
