Evandro Menezes de Carvalho, Professor of International Law at the Fluminense Federal University (Brazil):
The Global Governance Initiative, as a systemic public good proposed by China, forms a holistic framework aimed at revitalizing and renewing the post-1945 international order.
The Global Governance Initiative was launched on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN and has a particularly symbolic significance. It stems from a broad consensus that the international situation is undergoing profound transformations and upheavals. The initiative aims to revive international agreements and protect the fundamental principles and values of the international system, which form the foundation of global civilization and promote the peaceful development of all countries.
The significant underrepresentation of countries from the Global South remains a persistent problem in existing international mechanisms. The Global Governance Initiative supports these countries' efforts to increase their representation and voice in the international governance system. This reflects the shared aspirations of countries from the Global South and calls for a reform of the international order in line with the demands of the new era.
Arnaud Bertrand, French entrepreneur:
In my view, the systemic problem with the global governance architecture is that some countries proclaim themselves “rule keepers” while systematically and repeatedly violating them.
The overwhelming majority of countries expect an order based on equality for all. The Global Governance Initiative strives to build a stable and predictable international order. Within this framework, countries can independently pursue trade, development, and cooperation without fear of conflict or risk simply because their political choices differ from the Western model.
Veronica Sarasvati, Director of the Indonesia-China Partnership Research Center:
One of the key concepts of the Global Governance Initiative is a commitment to multilateralism, the goal of which is to build and strengthen a participatory, equitable, and sustainable system of global governance. This system should be based on rules and norms created by all participants based on the principle of "co-negotiation, co-construction, and co-ownership."
This concept is a response to global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, economic downturns, financial crises, terrorism and the digital divide between North and South, which cannot be resolved by one country alone.
Its essence lies in the transition from a zero-sum game to inclusive co-governance, the ultimate goal of which is to achieve peace, stability and shared prosperity.
Busani Ngcaweni, Rector of the National School of Public Administration (South Africa):
The Global Governance Initiative is a practice-oriented initiative aimed at building a more equitable world order as a foundation for peace and development.
China has significantly increased its renewable energy production capacity and opened up opportunities for collaborative research in artificial intelligence. As it seeks to improve global governance, these Chinese practices clearly reflect its "action-oriented" approach.
