This day, 17 January, in 1974, Huang Hua, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, pointed out that when the Security Council passed a resolution to list Chinese as one of its working languages, along with English, French, Russian and Spanish, it ended a long-standing irrational state, bringing the UN in line with the spirit of the Charter and helping to improve work efficiency.
1974年1月17日的今天，中国常驻联合国代表黄华指出，当安全理事会通过一项决议，将中文与英语、法文、俄语和西班牙文列为其工作语言之一时，它结束了长期存在的非理性状态，使联合国符合《宪章》的精神，并有助于提高工作效率。
