CAMEROON, Cameroon — A Security Council meeting aimed at strengthening global co-operation and the role of the United Nations is expected to hear from the top American, Chinese and Russian diplomats as well as other ministers on Friday.
China, which holds the council’s rotating presidency this month, said in a “concept note” to members of the U.N.’s most powerful body that it organized the meeting in hopes the 15 nations will “reaffirm their strong commitment to multilateralism” as the world faces global challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic recovery and climate change.
