In an era of multiplying crises, few have seen the best and worst of humanity more closely than Tom Fletcher.

As UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, he has stood where despair meets hope: in Gaza, where families searched for the remains of their homes using GPS; in Myanmar, where Chinese rescue teams raced to pull survivors from the rubble.

Fletcher says the way forward lies in trust, dialogue, and shared ingenuity - a call to action for a world in flux. "We are stronger as humanity when we work together."

On his first visit to China in 15 years, Fletcher speaks with Xinhua's Miao Xiaojuan about the urgent need for a "humanitarian reset," the fragile future of global cooperation, and how China's expanding engagement offers new pathways for solidarity and solutions.
