According to United Nations news, at a regular press conference on September 2 local time, United Nations Secretary-General's Spokesperson Danah Raisi said that China has paid its full share of the United Nations membership fee for the year 2026. Thus far, 133 countries have paid their full contributions to the United Nations membership fee for this year.
Diyaric first conducted a “mini-test”. He asked reporters present: “The railway lines in this country can circle the earth twice. The width of this country from east to west exceeds 5,000 kilometers, and they share the same time zone.”
When a reporter mentioned the answer “China”, Diyaric said, “Yes, thank you. We appreciate the contributions made by friends in Beijing recently; they have now paid in full for this year’s regular budget. Currently, 133 member states have paid in full for their annual contributions. We are grateful for this payment, and it can be said that this money is very useful at this moment.”
Diyaric pointed out that as the second-largest contributor to the United Nations regular budget, China's full payment of its contributions is crucial for alleviating the current liquidity crisis faced by the United Nations. He emphasized that the United Nations is under significant financial pressure, and all member states, including other major contributors, should fulfill their financial obligations by paying contributions in full, on time, and without conditions.
The amount of contributions that each Member State of the United Nations should pay each year is determined by the United Nations General Assembly based on the principle of capacity to pay. China is the second-largest contributor to the regular budget of the United Nations.
