BEIJING, Aug. 22(Xinhuanet)-- Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said in an article that the United Nations(UN) reform should consider the concerns of the developing nations.

The United Nations should"undergo reforms as may be necessary and reasonable, giving, in particular, scope to the rational demands and concerns of developing countries to the biggest extent possible," said Li in the article titled"peace, development and cooperation."

Li said China stands for stronger multilateralism, greater democracy and rule of law in international relations, and the establishment of a fair and rational international order.

Talking about China's foreign policy, Li said China has put forward some new thinking and new propositions in diplomatic practice, thus enriching and developing its independent foreign policy of peace.

China is"actively advocating the new order that is fair and rational," said Li, adding that China is implementing the new approach to development centered on equality and mutual benefit,and the developing countries should be helped to participate on anequal footing in international economic affairs.

China is promoting the new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation, said Li."China supports security dialogue, regional security cooperation mechanisms and stronger multilateral security cooperation, as a way to address security threats and challenges facing all countries," he said.

China is also advocating a new concept of civilizations that features respect for diversity, said Li, adding that the right to independently choose the path of development in light of its national conditions is an inalienable right of every people, which must be fully respected. Enditem
