KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 (Bernama) -- The Global Governance Initiative (GGI) has been proposed at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Plus Meeting in China, promoting a more just and reasonable global governance system.
Proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, the CGI marked the fourth landmark global initiative after the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative.
During the two-day SCO Summit in North China's Tianjin, Xi has delivered two important speeches, expounding on the organisation's growing international influence and appeal and urging the need to maintain international fairness and justice.
He also highlighted five principles of the GGI, namely adhering to sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practising multilateralism, advocating the people-centred approach, and focusing on taking real actions.
“All countries, regardless of size, strength and wealth, are equal participants, decision-makers and beneficiaries in global governance.
“I look forward to working with all countries for a more just and equitable global governance system and advancing toward a community with a shared future for humanity,” added Xi.
Amid shifting global landscapes, the SCO has been contributing to the improvement of global governance by promoting a new type of international relations grounded in mutual respect, fairness and win-win cooperation.
According to China Global Television Network (CGTN) in a statement, China has advocated a vision of global governance that features extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, while also contributing Chinese wisdom and public goods to solving the pressing problems now facing humanity.
From the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity to the proposals of the three global initiatives and the Belt and Road Initiative, China's ideas have illuminated the path forward as the world seeks sustainable and inclusive development.
