1st LD: Chinese premier arrives in New York for UN conference

Xinhua, September 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived here Sunday to attend the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly.

During his stay in New York, the premier will outline China's stance on major issues including international order, global governance, and peace and development, while addressing the general debate of the UN General Assembly session.

The premier is also expected to announce China's pragmatic measures to support the United Nations' endeavor and cope with global challenges.

The premier will also hold talks with state leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, before leaving for official visits to Canada and Cuba.

The premier's attendance at the UN General Assembly is one of China's major diplomatic events in the multilateral arena this year and shows that China values the UN and multilateralism, Vice Foreign Minister Li Baodong said Wednesday.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the restoration of China's seat in the United Nations. Endi
