China's role in shaping global governance hailed

China has been honoring international laws and has actively participated in the formulation of rules for global governance to contribute its wisdom and strengths to coping with worldwide challenges, a senior official said on Friday.

Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, made the remark when addressing a symposium in Beijing on Friday on 40 years of work on international law.

Over the past four decades, China has participated in more than 500 international treaties and almost all international organizations, developing itself in integration with the world and making common progress, Yang said.
