China Calls for Stronger Global Cooperation in New Governance Initiative

BEIJING, June.22 – China has called for greater international cooperation and a stronger role for the United Nations as part of a new Global Governance Initiative aimed at addressing some of the world’s biggest challenges.

The initiative, introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping and outlined in a recently released government white paper, comes at a time when many countries are facing growing economic pressures, armed conflicts, climate change, food insecurity, and rapid technological changes.

China says the world is at an important turning point and that countries need to work together rather than pursue policies that create division and confrontation. According to the white paper, increasing geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and protectionist policies are making it harder for nations to solve global problems collectively.
