Mr Minister,
Friends,
We are delighted to meet with you again, this time in New York. A few days ago, we worked together at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation's summit in Samarkand, where our leaders held a productive meeting and had contacts with all SCO members. I am confident that the summit will have positive and important consequences for the development of international relations, in line with the agreements approved during this highest-level meeting. We will cooperate closely with the People's Republic of China in implementing them.
In several days from now, the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China will open, and the entire world is focusing on this crucial event. We are confident that our Chinese friends will conclude the Congress with positive agreements on the further development of their country and society, and with decisions on how the PRC will continue to facilitate the establishment of democratic and fair international rules in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter.
