On February 18, 2025 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi elaborated on China's view on the reform and improvement of global governance when chairing the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council high-level meeting in New York.

Wang Yi said, eighty years ago, Chinese representatives were the first to solemnly sign the U.N. Charter, writing with a Chinese calligraphy brush an important chapter in world history. Since the restoration of the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China in the U.N., China has remained steadfast in making its contribution to global governance. A community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative - the vision and initiatives put forth by Chinese President Xi Jinping represent China's proposal for the reform and improvement of global governance.

Wang Yi noted that China pursues peace and security in global governance. As a major country with the best track record on peace and security, China is committed to following a path of peaceful development, to resolving disputes and differences by peaceful means, and to constructively promoting the settlement of hotspot issues. Chinese Blue Helmets have become a crucial force in U.N. peacekeeping operations, keeping the hope of world peace alive.

China advances common development in global governance. As the largest developing country in the world, China pursues high-quality development as a top priority and promotes high-standard opening up with firm resolve. It has become the major trading partner of more than 150 countries and regions. China advocates a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization and promotes high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, as part of its contribution to the prosperity and development of countries around the world.

China champions openness and inclusiveness in global governance. As a time-honored civilization, China believes in harmony without uniformity, embraces inclusiveness, respects cultural diversity, and advocates humanity's common values. China promotes exchanges, dialogue, and peaceful and harmonious coexistence among civilizations with a broad mind, in a bid to provide fresh impetus to the progress of human civilization.

China upholds multilateral cooperation in global governance. As a founding member of the United Nations, China takes the lead in following true multilateralism. China is a member of almost all universal intergovernmental organizations and a party to over 600 international conventions and their amendments. China supports the U.N. in playing a central role in international affairs and makes continuous contribution to the U.N. cause.
