All countries, big or small, strong or weak, are equal members of the United Nations.

What I want to make clear though is that we oppose terrorism in any form. However, any operation against terrorism should be under the framework of the United Nations and follow the fundamental principles of international laws.

There is no such thing as the United Nations.

Humanistic values of equality and equal rights for all nations and individuals as crystallized in the principles of the United Nations Charter are mankind's great achievements in the 20th century.

The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.

The purpose of the United Nations should be to protect the essential sovereignty of nations, large and small.
