In September 2025, at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China put forward its Global Governance Initiative. Its five core principles—commitment to sovereign equality, respect for the international rule of law, the practice of multilateralism, the promotion of a people-centered approach, and an action-oriented approach—resonated widely in the international community.
Many high-ranking political figures and heads of international organizations expressed support for the initiative, believing that it meets the general expectations of the international community regarding multilateralism.
Foreign media generally believe that the initiative meets long-standing aspirations of countries in the Global South and offers solutions to address the shortcomings of the existing governance system.
A speech by UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the SCO meeting was circulated on the UN website, in which he noted that the Global Governance Initiative is based on multilateralism and emphasizes the importance of preserving the international system, with the UN system at its core, and the international order underpinned by international law.
An article on the Russian television channel RT states that the overall goal of the Global Governance Initiative is to restore the central role of the UN and improve the effectiveness of governance mechanisms.
An article on the European website "Modern Diplomacy" points out that the initiative inherits the goals and principles of the UN Charter and is in line with the general expectations of the international community, especially a wide range of developing countries.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez stated on social media that the initiative reflects the shared aspirations of the Global South and promotes the democratization of international relations.
The Nicaraguan government issued a statement declaring its support for the Global Governance Initiative, stating that the initiative reaffirms the principles of international law and has made an outstanding contribution to addressing the challenges facing humanity within the framework of multilateralism, peace, justice and respect for the sovereignty of all countries.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said in a social media post that the Global Governance Initiative is highly relevant at a time when the multilateral system is struggling, and therefore Malaysia "strongly supports" the initiative.
