Xi, UN chief discuss multilateralism

China will continue to safeguard the authority of the United Nations and uphold multilateralism, though major countries should take responsibilities for their actions, President Xi Jinping told visiting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday.

The key of multilateralism lies in negotiations and cooperation between countries around the world, especially between major countries, Xi said. China has been committed to promoting world peace, global development and international order and would like to share its opportunities and experiences with other countries, he said.

However, China will not force its own path, model and theory onto others, Xi said.
