Zhang Jun distributed the Chinese folding fan to the permanent representative of the Security Council: it is necessary to reduce the tension

According to the website of the permanent mission of China to the United Nations, China is the rotating president of the United Nations Security Council in August 2022. On August 1, Ambassador Zhang Jun, permanent representative to the United Nations, briefed the international media in the United Nations on China's consideration of assuming the rotating presidency of the Security Council in August.

Ambassador Zhang Jun said that the world today is far from peaceful and faces serious challenges such as political instability, military conflicts, terrorist threats, the COVID-19, climate change, energy and food crises. Cold war thinking and power politics have further divided the world and increased uncertainty and instability. In the face of complex situations, all parties expect the United Nations to play a greater role, and the work of the Security Council should not and cannot be relaxed.
Ambassador Zhang Jun said that recently, the heat wave swept the northern hemisphere, making people really feel that the climate is warming and the earth is burning. What we most desire is to cool down, cool and tranquil. It is also necessary to reduce the current international tension. The Security Council should seek diplomatic solutions to various problems through calm and rational dialogue. I have prepared a Chinese fan.com/Products/Foldingfan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>Folding fan for the permanent representatives of the Security Council as a souvenir, which is the implication. In dealing with climate change, China will always be an activist. My colleagues and I didn't wear a tie today. Throughout August, we will also appropriately raise the air conditioning temperature of the Security Council venue. The purpose is to start from ourselves, from small things, and contribute to the fight against global warming with practical actions. We sincerely hope that other members of the Security Council, the general membership and the media will actively support China in performing its duties, jointly complete the tasks on the agenda of the Security Council this month, promote the work of the Security Council to achieve positive results, and make due contributions to the cause of world peace and security.
