Hu calls for fairer UN decision procedure
By Jiang Zhuqing (China Daily)
Updated: 2005-09-17 07:31 For proposals on which consensus has been or can be reached, decisions may be
made promptly for their implementation without delay, Hu said. "But for
proposals where major differences still exist, a further exchange of views
should be conducted to seek consensus."
Last but not least, reform should be pushed forward on all fronts with clear
priorities, Hu said.
"Spanning such areas as security, development, the rule of law and
institutional reform, UN reform needs an integrated approach," he said. The
views of developing countries, which account for two-thirds of the UN
membership, should be taken into full account and their interests truly
safeguarded.
Measures to give developing countries greater representation and to help them
realize the Millennium Development Goals should be placed at the very top of the
reform agenda, the Chinese president said.
"China is firmly committed to UN reform," Hu concluded, adding that the
country "stands ready to join hands with other member states in ensuring that
the progress of the reform is sound, thus enabling the UN to make greater
contributions to the lofty cause of peace and development for mankind."
Hu also held bilateral meetings with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika,
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski,
Gabonese President El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba and Swedish Prime Minister Goran
Persson.
