(MENAFN) Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday called on the international community, particularly the Global South, to raise a "stronger" voice of justice and resist "bullying and hegemony in the face of rising unilateralism and protectionism," according to state media.

Li delivered these remarks during his meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, a news agency reported on Thursday.

He also urged the world to protect the legitimate rights and interests of all nations.

The premier cautioned that certain "unilateralist and protectionist practices" are weakening the global economy and seriously obstructing the realization of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Li encouraged the international community to take more "concrete" measures, collaborate to enhance global development cooperation, uphold free trade and economic globalization, and promote shared development and prosperity.

He affirmed that Beijing will persist in pursuing high-level openness, share development opportunities with other countries, and act as a stabilizing and driving force for the global economy.

The Chinese premier additionally reiterated China's steadfast commitment to defending the authority and role of the UN.
