UN agencies have the right and responsibility to voice concerns over U.S. tariff, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday when commenting on the meeting held by the United Nations Security Council to discuss the issue of the U.S. imposition of additional tariffs.
"I believe that the tariff war initiated by the United States violates World Trade Organization rules, damages the common interests of all countries, and undermines the international system centered around the United Nations and the international order based on the UN Charter. UN agencies have both the right and the responsibility to voice their concerns regarding the U.S. excessive tariff imposition," said Guo.

A Chinese medical team left China on Saturday heading for Ethiopia, where they will offer technological assistance and support to talent development in the country's healthcare sector over the next 12 months.
The 14-member team includes experts in clinical medicine, medical technology, hospital administration, and logistical support.
Mainly selected from the First Hospital Affiliated to the Army Medical University (AMU) in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the team members possess extensive experience in medical practice and management.
During the mission, the experts will help the country's military hospitals to enhance medical service capacity, promote the application of new technologies, strengthen hospital operations, train professional personnel, and support the establishment of healthcare management systems, thereby contributing to the improvement of local medical services.
"I feel deeply honored by this mission, and I'm fully aware of the responsibility it carries. We are committed to carrying forward the spirit of China's overseas medical teams, which features tenacity, dedication, commitment to saving lives, and love that knows no borders, and will apply our skills for the benefit of the Ethiopian military and civilians," said team member Guo Hao from the AMU.
Since 2015, the AMU hospital has dispatched 11 batches totaling more than 100 medical experts to Ethiopia.
Their efforts gave strong support to achieving notable progress in medical facility construction, and technological and talent development in the country's healthcare sector.
