Chinese Language Day Significance

Chinese Language Day is an important day that promotes the use of Chinese as one of the six official UN languages. Chinese was established as an official language of the United Nations in 1946. However, it was not commonly used in the work of the United Nations. The situation improved after restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971.

In 1973, the UNGA included Chinese as a working language, which was followed by the Security Council in 1974. This annual event serves as a perfect opportunity to celebrate the long history and cultural richness of the Chinese language.
