The proposal of the Global Management Initiative, presented on 1 September by the president of the PRC Xi Jinping at the SCO+ summit in Tianjin, met with a broad interest of global public opinion. On the same day, a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was held, which produced a number of crucial results.
80 years ago, the global community, drawing lessons from the tragic experiences of 2 planet wars, established the United Nations and launched a fresh practice of global governance. Today, after 8 decades, the main trends – peace, development, cooperation and benefits for all – stay unchanged, but humanity faces more complex and multidimensional global challenges. At the same time, uniteraryism and force policy seriously undermine multilateral mechanisms specified as the UN, exacerbating the deficit of global governance. UN Secretary-General António Guterres late stressed that multilateralism, global law and UN authority are facing a major crisis present and require urgent reforms.
The planet has entered a period of instability and profound change, and global governance has been at a crossroads. "What strategy of global governance we want to build and how to improvement and improve" is the key question facing all mankind today.
At the Tianjin Summit, Xi Jinping first presented the Global Governance Initiative, emphasising 5 main principles: respect for equality of sovereignty; respect for global law; practice of multilateralism; the concept of "the man at the centre"; orientation for applicable action.
These 5 key assumptions are consistent with the United Nations Charter and respond to the expectations of most countries. Proposals specified as "increasing the representation and voice of developing countries" or "rejection of uniteraryism" clearly indicate the request to address inequalities, injustice and unjustified practices in the current global order. president of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that he full supports this initiative, recognising it as the key to solving the problems existing in the global governance system.
Chen Bo, president of the Chinese Institute of global Affairs, noted that the Global Management Initiative assumes adjusting and improving the current strategy to better meet the demands of modern times.
In fresh years China has played an active – both as the initiator of the thought and as a applicable implementer of the action. From promoting an open planet economy, through supporting peaceful conflict resolution, to initiatives specified as the establishment of an global Mediation Court or the call for the creation of a planet Organisation for Artificial Intelligence Cooperation – Beijing has consistently participated in reforming and improving the global governance system.
Tianjin's Global Management Initiative is an crucial consequence of the SCO Summit, while China's next step towards modernisation and improvement of the global system. It points to a direction to solve the common problems of humanity and build a planet where everyone can enjoy prosperity and security.
