The restoration of China's lawful seat in the United Nations (UN) in 1971 has strengthened the role of the world body and increased its representation at the global level, former Chilean President Ricardo Lagos Escobar has said.
Lagos, who served as Chilean president from 2000-2006, shared in a recent interview with Xinhua his memories of that "historic meeting" in which his country voted to restore all lawful rights of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the UN.
