China's foreign minister said its Global Governance Initiative is gaining broad support and urged global cooperation to strengthen the UN and multilateralism.

On March 8, 2026, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that China’s Global Governance Initiative (GGI) is "more timely than ever," having received positive responses from over 150 countries and international organizations. Speaking at the National People's Congress, he emphasized the need to strengthen the United Nations’ central role in global affairs, warning against parallel structures or exclusive blocs, which he called unsustainable. China, as a founding UN member, urged broader participation in the GGI to revitalize and defend multilateralism, promote inclusive global governance, and uphold international law amid rising global tensions.
