GGI receives substantial support from world leaders

The Global Governance Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping has drawn widespread and strong endorsement from world leaders, who described it as both timely and essential for building a more just and equitable international order.

The Chinese president presented the initiative on Monday at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus" Meeting in Tianjin. The initiative, focusing on the direction, principles and path for reforming the global governance system and institutions, was proposed as the United Nations marks its 80th founding anniversary this year.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the Global Governance Initiative "is anchored in multilateralism and underscores the importance of safeguarding the international system with the UN at its core and the international order underpinned by international law".
