GGI offers countries a road map to jointly navigate crises, boost stability
Amid rising geopolitical tensions, growing economic uncertainties and escalating climate and security risks, the China-proposed Global Governance Initiative is increasingly drawing international attention with its call to strengthen cooperation, uphold multilateralism and offer practical solutions to shared global challenges.The GGI, which was put forward by President Xi Jinping in September at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus" Meeting, emphasizes adhering to sovereign equality, abiding by the international rule of law, practicing multilateralism, advocating a people-centered approach and focusing on taking concrete actions.Since its launch, the initiative has received broad support from more than 140 countries and international organizations.Analysts and policymakers note that the GGI signals China's more proactive role in global governance, particularly as international institutions face strains and global trust weakens. By promoting inclusiveness, dialogue and shared responsibility, the initiative offers a road map for countries to jointly navigate crises, strengthen stability and amplify the voice of the Global South.In November, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi — the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative — constitute important public goods that China offers to the international community.While each initiative has a distinct focus, they are not mutually exclusive, Wang said, adding that together they form key pillars supporting the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, spanning development, security, civilization and governance.
