On October 14, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Beijing with former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who is in China for the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.

Wang Yi stated that Ms. Bachelet is a world-renowned stateswoman and a long-time friend of the Chinese people. During her tenure as President of Chile, she promoted the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Chile. As the first Executive Director of UN Women, she made significant contributions to the pursuit of gender equality. When serving as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, she upheld justice, viewed China's development objectively and rationally, and promoted equal and friendly exchanges between the two sides. Wang Yi expressed the hope that Ms. Bachelet will continue to make active efforts for the work of the UN and for world peace and stability.

Wang Yi said that multilateralism is currently facing severe challenges. The UN needs reform, but the purpose is not to weaken but to strengthen the UN, to defend the UN Charter, to safeguard the authority of the UN, and to give full play to the core role of the UN. China was the first country to sign the UN Charter and has always been a steadfast advocate and long-term partner of the UN. As a responsible major country, China actively practices true multilateralism, complies with the norms of international law, fulfills its due international responsibilities, supports developing countries to the best of its ability, and promotes the building of a community with a shared future for humanity. History and facts will prove that unilateralism and bullying win no support, the world will inevitably move towards multipolarity, and the UN will surely overcome risks and challenges, continue to strive for peace, take responsibility for development, and open up a brighter future for humanity.

Michelle Bachelet congratulated China on successfully hosting the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, stating that the friendship between Chile and China has a long history. Chile was the first South American country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China and also the first Latin American country to sign a free trade agreement with China. She attributed the high-level development of bilateral relations to both sides upholding common values and supporting multilateralism, peaceful resolution of disputes, and the leading role of the UN. Michelle Bachelet said she fully agrees with President Xi Jinping's proposal to bear in mind the goal of a community with a shared future for humanity and jointly create a better future for the human race. She called for concerted efforts to strengthen the role of the UN through reform and the need to tackle global challenges together.
