China, Dec 31: Chinese President Xi Jinping said in his New year message that China as a responsible major country will have a 'say' on all international issues and will also push its Belt and Road initiative.

President Xi Jinping conveyed his message on Saturday and said that China will uphold the authority and status of the UN, actively fulfill China's international obligations and duties.

He added that China will be a builder of world peace, contributor of global development, will be committed to pledges to tackle climate change and keeper of international orders.

The BRI through which China seeks to build its influence in the world through a host road, rail and port connectivity projects also incorporates China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

India has objected to the CPEC as it traverses through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. China defends it saying that it is a connectivity project and it will not impact its stand on the Kashmir issue.
