Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — The global governance initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2025 at the "SCO Plus" meeting in Tianjin, northern China, is an important element of the international discussion on various aspects of shaping multipolarity in the world. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated this at a briefing on Thursday, responding to a question from a Xinhua correspondent.
"We consider this initiative an important element in the international discussion on various aspects of the formation of a multipolar world order. Like many other states, Russia views it as a more equitable foundation for world order, adapted to the changing global balance of power, in which the positions of non-Western states and international associations are strengthening," the Russian diplomat stated.
M. Zakharova recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin had already given a positive assessment of this initiative during the SCO Plus meeting. "The Russian leader expressed words of support and indicated Russia's interest in a concrete discussion of our Chinese friends' proposal," she added.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson assured that Russia and China intend to fully realize the potential of their bilateral relations to establish an equitable multipolar world and democratize international relations. "Our countries, as independent forces in the process of forming a multipolar world order, intend to fully realize the potential of their bilateral relations, protect the international system, with the UN at its center, and international relations built on the goals and principles of the UN Charter, promote the establishment of an equitable, orderly multipolar world and the democratization of international relations, and consolidate efforts aimed at creating a more just multipolar world," stated M. Zakharova.
She also emphasized that the convergence of Moscow and Beijing's fundamental approaches on key issues will contribute to strengthening practical coordination between the parties at various international venues, including the SCO and BRICS, as well as in the context of joint efforts to ensure stability in the Eurasian space based on the initiative put forward by the Russian President to create a new Eurasian security architecture. –0–
