China is expected to play a critical role in working with the United Nations and the rest of the world to further shore up multilateralism and chart a path for growth in coming decades, said prominent officials and scholars from around the world.

They underlined the need to do so while addressing a Vision China virtual speech session hosted by China Daily on Wednesday.

The event was held to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary, which will fall on Monday, of the restoration of China's lawful seat at the United Nations.

Through video speeches, the participants called the restoration an epoch-making event, and they summed up China's philosophy and recipe for promoting peace and common prosperity.

The Chinese solutions are helpful for overcoming problems threatening the world's economic and security outlooks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, they said.

To restore all rights to the People's Republic of China, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority on Oct 25, 1971.

Over the past 50 years, China has been a contributor to global development and has been actively promoting the settlement of disputes and conflicts through peaceful means.

Amina Mohammed, deputy secretary-general of the UN, said, "I would like to take this opportunity to commend China for its support to the United Nations throughout the past five decades.

"We appreciate not only China's steadfast financial support over the decades, which enables the entire UN system to support peace and development around the world－but its support of the landmark reforms we are undertaking to strengthen the UN development system for the future," Mohammed said.

Wang Chao, president of the United Nations Association of China and president of the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, said that China has played an increasingly important role in UN affairs, along with other developing countries over the past 50 years, and has "become a natural leader in South-South cooperation by engaging in multifaceted development assistance".

"The world now stands at a new historical starting point. Looking forward, China will continue to be a true follower of multilateralism," he added.
