2019年联合国日暨联合国在华四十周年庆祝活动：朝着可持续发展之路不断前行

23 October, Beijing – United Nations Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being. 24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948.

联合国日（United Nations Day）是1947年联合国大会为纪念《联合国宪章》正式生效和联合国正式成立而确定的节日。《联合国宪章》作为联合国基本大法，在经过包括安理会五个常任理事国等大多数国家批准后，于1945年10月24日正式生效，同时也标志着联合国的成立。自1948年以来，10月24日一直作为联合国日来庆祝。

The first UN office was opened in 1979. Over the forty years the UN in China has contributed to China’s development through support in areas ranging from, humanitarian assistance, health and education, rural development, and industrialization. Along with China’s remarkable development progress, the role of the UN has shifted from traditional donor providing assistance for basic needs, to a partner providing advanced policy support and sharing international experience.

“Today, we are celebrating 40 years of UN presence in China. More than anything, the story of the UN’s journey in China is one of change. It is a story about the remarkable transformation that has taken place in country over the past 40 years, and how the UN in China has evolved with it.” Nicholas Rosellini, UN Resident Coordinator in China said in his welcome speech. “Our focus in China today is to support China’s effort to implement the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and to make sure that “no one is left behind” as China walks the last mile of poverty alleviation and shift the focus towards high-quality development.”

“今天，我们庆祝联合国驻华四十周年。最重要的是，联合国在华之旅的故事也是一个变迁。这是一个关于中国在40年中发生了令人瞩目的转变，以及联合国同中国携手发展的故事” 联合国驻华协调员罗世礼在讲话中说。 “联合国我们如今的工作重点是支持中国落实2030年可持续发展议程和实现17个可持续发展目标，确保在中国走完扶贫攻坚的最后一公里、实现高质量发展的过程中“不让一个人掉队”。”

Mr. Wang Xiaolong, Director General of Department for International Economic Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs as representative of Chinese government delivered keynote speech in the event.
