On April 9, 2026, Ambassador Xu Feihong met with Mr. Stefan Priesner, the new United Nations Resident Coordinator for India. The two sides exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.

Ambassador Xu pointed out that Chinese government, under the guidance of the four Global Initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping, practices true multilateralism and firmly supports both the international system with the U.N. at its core and the free trade system with the WTO at its core.

Priesner said that as the second-largest contributor to the U.N.'s regular budget and peacekeeping operations budget, China has made significant contributions to the cause of multilateralism and the U.N.. He briefed on the work of the U.N.'s institutions in India and expressed willingness to strengthen the exchanges of development experience with the Chinese side.
