China released a white paper on Wednesday titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions", which Foreign Minister Wang Yi said aims to offer a comprehensive account of the country's ideas and actions in promoting global governance, and to foster broader consensus within the international community on reforming and improving global governance and ensuring more effective responses to global challenges.
Wang made the remarks at a news conference held by the State Council Information Office in Beijing on the release of the white paper.
"Global governance is a common endeavor that bears on the well-being of all humanity, and building a just and equitable global governance system is a shared vision long pursued by people from across the world," Wang said.
Wang said that the Global Governance Initiative, proposed by President Xi Jinping, came at a critical juncture where the international system established after World War II faced multiple shocks and global governance was encountering headwinds, highlighting the urgent need for a more just and equitable global governance system.
Since its introduction in September, the GGI has received broad support from nearly 160 countries and international organizations, with more than 60 countries joining the Group of Friends of Global Governance. "The GGI has evolved from a Chinese proposal into an international practice, and is showing ever-growing vitality," Wang said.
