Hi folks,
In this edition, I am covering an article by the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Global Governance Initiative and Wang Yi’s meetings in Kyrgyzstan.
On Page 9, there’s an article by the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, discussing the Global Governance Initiative. The article begins by saying:
General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, pointed out: ‘The international balance of power is undergoing profound changes, but reform of the global governance system has long lagged behind. We must practice true multilateralism, adhere to the global governance concept of consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, and guide global governance reform with the concepts of fairness and justice, openness and inclusiveness.” In today’s world, global challenges are increasing by the day, making the strengthening of global governance and the promotion of reform of the global governance system an inevitable trend. Looking at the world from the perspective of the common interests of all humanity, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly put forward the Global Governance Initiative at the SCO+ meeting, explicitly answering the era’s question of ‘what kind of global governance system to build and how to reform and improve global governance’, providing direction and guidance for the international community to cooperate in resolving global issues, and injecting new and strong momentum into advancing the cause of human progress.
It adds that the Proposal document issued after the fourth plenum calls to ‘implement GDI, GSI, GCI and GGI to guide the international order towards a more just and equitable direction.’ We must thoroughly study the latest achievements in the enrichment and development of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, fully understand the rich connotations, major significance, and far-reaching impact of GGI, actively participate in and lead the reform and construction of the global governance system, and work with all countries to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. 习近平总书记指出:“国际力量对比正在深刻演变,但全球治理体系改革长期滞后。我们要践行真正的多边主义,坚持共商共建共享的全球治理观,以公平正义、开放包容为理念引领全球治理改革。”当今世界,全球性挑战日益增多,加强全球治理、推动全球治理体系改革成为大势所趋。习近平总书记站在全人类共同利益高度,在“上海合作组织+”会议上郑重提出全球治理倡议,明确回答了“构建什么样的全球治理体系、如何改革完善全球治理”的时代课题,为国际社会合作解决全球性问题领航定向,为推动人类进步事业注入新的强劲动力。党的二十届四中全会通过的《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十五个五年规划的建议》提出:“落实全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议、全球治理倡议,引领国际秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。”我们要深入学习习近平外交思想丰富发展的最新成果,深入学习贯彻党的二十届四中全会精神,全面领会全球治理倡议的丰富内涵、重大意义、深远影响,积极参与引领全球治理体系改革和建设,同各国一道推动构建人类命运共同体。
The first section of the article says that GGI provides “valuable intellectual inspiration and a clear practical path for addressing the deficits of peace, development, security, and governance faced by our era.”
“In line with the needs of the times, pointing out the correct direction. At present, the shadows of hegemony, unilateralism, and protectionism persist, and the United Nations and multilateralism face mounting challenges. The number of armed conflicts worldwide has reached a new high since World War II, severely slowing human development, with over 600 million people facing hunger. Problems such as the North–South divide and ecological deterioration are increasingly prominent, and the international community lacks governance capability in new areas such as data security and artificial intelligence. The GGI directly faces the challenges of the times and, from five aspects, clarifying the direction for reforming and improving the global governance system in five aspects: upholding sovereign equality and advocating for equal participation, equal decision-making, and equal benefit-sharing among all nations; observing the rule of international law to ensure the equal and uniform application of international law and rules; practicing multilateralism and strengthening the central role of the UN; championing a people-centered approach to ensure that people of all countries jointly participate in and share the fruits of global governance; and emphasising action-orientation, adhering to striving for practical results, and seeking sustainable solutions. This major initiative provides a systematic framework for addressing global challenges and will undoubtedly greatly enhance the authority, representativeness, and effectiveness of the global governance system.” 契合时代需求,指明正确方向。当前,霸权主义、单边主义、保护主义阴霾不散,联合国和多边主义受到冲击。全球武装冲突数量创二战以来新高,人类发展进程严重放缓,超过6亿人面临饥饿。南北鸿沟、生态恶化等问题日益凸显,国际社会对数据安全、人工智能等新领域的治理能力不足。全球治理倡议直面时代挑战,从五个方面明确了全球治理体系改革完善的前进方向:奉行主权平等,倡导各国平等参与、平等决策、平等受益;遵守国际法治,确保国际法和国际规则平等统一适用;践行多边主义,加强联合国核心平台作用;倡导以人为本,保障各国人民共同参与全球治理、共享全球治理成果;注重行动导向,坚持力求实效,寻找可持续解决方案。这一重大倡议为应对全球性挑战提供了系统性方案,必将有力增强全球治理体系的权威性、代表性、有效性.
“Gaining insight into development trends, grasping historical initiative. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: ‘the collective rise of the Global South is a distinctive hallmark of the profound changes in the world unseen in a century’. Changes in the international balance of power are an important reason for the transformation of the global governance system. A large number of emerging market countries and developing countries are on the fast track of development, fundamentally altering the international power landscape. The international order and global governance system established after World War II are increasingly incompatible with it. The monopoly of international affairs by a few countries is unsustainable, and the Global South’s calls for expanding its international discourse power and institutional power are becoming more urgent. Correcting historical injustices has become a pressing issue for improving global governance. GGI follows the trend of economic globalization, a multipolar world, and the democratization of international relations, reflects the interest demands of the overwhelming majority of countries, advocates that the international system and mechanisms better serve the interests of all countries, especially developing countries, and will surely help the Global South make historic contributions to the cause of human progress.” 洞察发展趋势,把握历史主动。习近平总书记指出:“全球南方群体性崛起,是世界大变局的鲜明标志。”国际力量对比变化是全球治理体系变革的重要原因。一大批新兴市场国家和发展中国家走上发展的快车道,正在从根本上改变国际力量对比版图。第二次世界大战后建立的国际秩序和全球治理体系,与之不适应的地方越来越多。少数国家垄断国际事务难以为继,全球南方要求扩大国际话语权和国际制度性权力的呼声更为迫切,纠正历史不公成为完善全球治理面临的紧迫课题。全球治理倡议顺应了经济全球化、世界多极化、国际关系民主化的时代潮流,反映了绝大多数国家的利益诉求,倡导国际体系和国际机制更好服务各国特别是发展中国家利益,必将助力全球南方为人类进步事业作出历史性贡献.
“Breaking cognitive predicaments and providing ideological guidance. Fairness and justice are the eternal pursuits of human society, and promoting the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system is the common expectation of people of all countries. For a long time, Western developed countries have relied on their first-mover advantages to occupy a dominant position in the global governance system, promoting Western-centered governance concepts, propagating arguments such as ‘hegemonic stability theory’ and ‘civilizational superiority theory’, and frequently engaging in double standards and small-circle governance. The GGI opposes the law of the jungle where ‘might makes right’, advocating that global affairs should be discussed together by everyone; abandons the outdated logic of ‘winner takes all’, advocating that governance achievements should be shared together by everyone; transcends the narrow-minded concepts of bloc politics, advocating focus on the future and destiny of humanity and safeguarding the common interests of all countries; replaces the erroneous practice of drawing lines based on ideology, advocating that the international community jointly respond to challenges. This major initiative deepens the understanding of the laws governing global governance and is another important public good that China contributes to the world.” 破解认知困境,提供思想引领。公平正义是人类社会的永恒追求,推动构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系是各国人民的普遍期待。长期以来,西方发达国家凭借先发优势在全球治理体系中占据主导地位,推行以西方为中心的治理理念,宣扬“霸权稳定论”“文明优劣论”等论调,动辄搞双重标准、小圈子治理。全球治理倡议反对“强权即公理”的丛林法则,倡导全球事务由大家一起商量;摒弃“赢者通吃”的陈旧逻辑,倡导治理成果由大家一起分享;超越集团政治的狭隘观念,倡导着眼人类前途命运、维护各国共同利益;取代以意识形态划线的错误做法,倡导国际社会共同应对挑战。这一重大倡议深化了对全球治理的规律性认识,是中国为世界贡献的又一重要公共产品.
“Triggering positive responses, demonstrating bright prospects. Since the GGI was put forward, it has rapidly received explicit support from over 140 countries and international organizations. All parties generally believe that this major initiative demonstrates General Secretary Xi Jinping’s far-sighted vision and mission commitment as a world-class leader, and highly praise China’s important constructive role as a stabilizing force in the international community; this major initiative fully reflects the demands of the Global South, provides a new framework for international governance different from the Western-dominated model, helps defend international fairness and justice, and collectively embodies China’s key role as an important force of the Global South; this major initiative contributes Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to resolving real challenges, leads global governance to advance with the times, and has pioneering significance for constructing a more just, multipolar global order. UN Secretary-General Guterres pointed out that the GGI is based on multilateralism, and its core concepts are highly aligned with the beliefs upheld by the United Nations.” 引发积极响应,展现光明前景。全球治理倡议提出以来,迅速得到140多个国家和国际组织的明确支持。各方普遍认为,这一重大倡议彰显了习近平总书记作为世界级领袖的远见卓识和使命担当,盛赞中国作为国际社会的稳定力量发挥了重要建设性作用;这一重大倡议充分反映全球南方诉求,提供了有别于西方主导模式的国际治理新框架,有助于捍卫国际公平正义,集中体现中国作为全球南方重要力量的关键作用;这一重大倡议为解决现实挑战贡献中国智慧和中国方案,引领全球治理与时偕行,对构建更加公正、多极化的全球秩序具有开创性意义。联合国秘书长古特雷斯指出,全球治理倡议以多边主义为基础,核心理念与联合国坚守的信念高度契合.
The second section of the article says that GGI demonstrates the global vision and responsibility of China’s diplomacy in the new era.
“Upholding a global outlook, practicing the original aspiration and mission of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: ‘the Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and is also a party that seeks progress for humanity and great harmony for the world.’ This endows Chinese diplomacy with a fundamentally different tone and characteristics from Western countries’ diplomacy. Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, Chinese diplomacy has always been at the forefront in defending international fairness and justice, and at the forefront in promoting the cause of human progress. The GGI aligns with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, focuses on constructing a more just and reasonable global governance system and joining hands to move toward a community with a shared future for mankind, adheres to the global governance vision of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, advocates practicing multilateral ideas, improving multilateral mechanisms, and strengthening multilateral cooperation, endowing the spirit of internationalism with new contemporary connotations. The GGI, together with the GDI, GSI, and GCI, will inject more stability and positive energy into a world intertwined with chaos and transformation, and provide stronger impetus for human development and progress.” 秉持世界情怀,践行中国共产党的初心使命。习近平总书记指出:“中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党,也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党。”这赋予中国外交与西方国家外交截然不同的底色和特征。新时代以来,在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,中国外交始终在捍卫国际公平正义上走在前列,在推动人类进步事业上走在前列。全球治理倡议与联合国宪章宗旨原则相契合,着眼于构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系、携手迈向人类命运共同体,坚持共商共建共享的全球治理观,倡导践行多边理念、完善多边机制、加强多边合作,赋予国际主义精神新的时代内涵。全球治理倡议将同全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议一道,为变乱交织的世界注入更多稳定性和正能量,为人类发展进步提供更强推动力.
“Pursuing justice and fairness, inheriting the fine traditions of New China’s diplomacy. Over the past 70-plus years, New China’s diplomacy has grown and forged ahead amid the surging tide of international affairs, forming fine traditions that are rich in Chinese characteristics, leading the trend of the times, and displaying a distinctive national style. As a member of the Global South, China has always breathed the same breath and shared the same destiny with the vast number of developing countries, firmly standing on the right side of history and on the side of human civilization and progress. At the beginning of New China’s founding, it advocated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, played a unique role at the 1954 Geneva Conference and the 1955 Bandung Conference, supported the national independence and liberation movements of Asian, African, and Latin American countries, overcame its own difficulties to assist brotherly developing countries in economic construction, and inspired and strengthened the just forces in the world against imperialism, hegemony, colonialism, and power politics. After restoring its lawful seat in the United Nations, China actively and proactively participated in UN affairs, spoke out righteously for developing countries on the international stage, and promoted the development of the international order toward a more just and reasonable direction. The GGI defends international fairness and justice, clearly and firmly safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, advocates rapidly bridging the North-South development gap, enhances the representativeness and voice of developing countries in global governance, and under new circumstances represents the inheritance and promotion of the fine traditions of New China’s diplomacy.” 追求公道正义,传承新中国外交优良传统。70多年来,新中国外交在国际风云激荡中成长奋进,形成了富有中国特色、引领时代潮流、彰显民族风范的优良传统。作为全球南方的一员,中国始终同广大发展中国家同呼吸、共命运,坚定站在历史正确一边、站在人类文明进步一边。新中国在成立之初,就在国际上倡导和平共处五项原则,在1954年日内瓦会议、1955年万隆会议上发挥独特作用,支持亚非拉国家民族独立解放运动,克服自身困难援助兄弟发展中国家经济建设,鼓舞壮大世界反帝反霸反殖反强权的正义力量。恢复在联合国的合法席位后,中国积极主动参与联合国事业,在国际舞台上为发展中国家仗义执言,推动国际秩序朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。全球治理倡议捍卫国际公平正义,旗帜鲜明维护发展中国家正当权益,倡导尽快弥合南北发展鸿沟,提升发展中国家在全球治理中的代表性和发言权,是新形势下对新中国外交优良传统的传承与弘扬. (Note: This is such a jaundiced view of reality. But it’s worth noting this self-aggrandising and moralising tone in Chinese diplomatic narrative.)
“Persisting in advancing with the times, leading innovation in the concepts and practice of China’s diplomacy in the new era. Since the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has scientifically examined the major challenges facing today’s world, continuously answered new questions raised by the development of the times, and creatively put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies. such as building a community with a shared future for mankind, the global governance vision of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, equal and orderly world multipolarity, and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, guiding Chinese diplomacy to advance major practical measures with far-reaching impact. China firmly upholds the authority of the UN, practices the Chinese characteristic approach to resolving hotspot issues, and actively maintains world peace and stability; issues a strong voice of openness, cooperation, and common development at international platforms such as APEC and the G20, thereby providing important guidance for improving global economic governance; promotes high-quality development of BRICS countries and the SCO, joining hands with the Global South for unity and self-strengthening; promotes the establishment of new multilateral institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the New Development Bank of BRICS countries, and the International Organization for Mediation, adding bricks and tiles to global governance mechanisms; in key areas such as ecological environment, public health, cyberspace, and AI, promotes the improvement of governance rules, building consensus for cooperative response to new challenges. The GGI is a practical summary and conceptual sublimation of China’s long-term participation in leading the reform and construction of the global governance system, and will surely guide Chinese diplomacy to demonstrate greater accomplishments in the process of reforming and improving global governance.” 坚持与时俱进,引领新时代中国外交理念与实践创新。新时代以来,习近平总书记科学审视当今世界面临的重大挑战,不断回答时代发展提出的新课题,创造性提出构建人类命运共同体、共商共建共享的全球治理观、平等有序的世界多极化和普惠包容的经济全球化等一系列新理念新思想新战略,指导中国外交推进影响深远的重大实践举措。中国坚定维护联合国权威,践行中国特色热点问题解决之道,积极维护世界和平稳定;在亚太经合组织、二十国集团等国际平台上发出开放合作、共同发展的时代强音,为完善全球经济治理提供重要指引;推动金砖国家、上海合作组织高质量发展,携手全球南方联合自强;推动成立亚洲基础设施投资银行、金砖国家新开发银行、国际调解院等新多边机构,为全球治理机制添砖加瓦;在生态环境、公共卫生、网络空间、人工智能等关键领域推动完善治理规则,为合作应对新挑战凝聚共识。全球治理倡议是长期以来中国参与引领全球治理体系改革和建设的实践总结与理念升华,必将指引中国外交在改革完善全球治理进程中展现更大作为.
Rooted in Chinese civilization, contributing Chinese wisdom to improving global governance. China’s fine traditional culture has a long history and contains rich ideological concepts, humanistic spirit, and moral norms, which are not only deeply inscribed in the cultural genes of Chinese people, but also have important enlightening significance for solving common problems faced by all humanity. The five core concepts of the GGI are rooted in the deep historical soil of Chinese civilization, drawing from the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture:
upholding sovereign equality reflects the lofty ideal of ‘great harmony under heaven’ and ‘harmonious coexistence of all nations’;
observing the rule of international law inherits the governance wisdom of ‘governance through great wisdom’ and ‘laws changing with the times’;
practicing multilateralism carries the spiritual pursuit of ‘seeking common ground while reserving differences’ and ‘working together with one heart’;
advocating a people-centered approach manifests the deep sentiment that ‘the people are the foundation of the state’ and ‘the common people come first’;
emphasising action orientation embodies the practical spirit of ‘unity of knowledge and action’ and ‘opening things up and accomplishing tasks’.
The GGI, through promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture under new historical conditions, provides civilization-based enlightenment transcending time and space for resolving global difficulties. 植根中华文明,贡献完善全球治理的中国智慧。中华优秀传统文化源远流长,蕴含着丰富的思想观念、人文精神、道德规范,不仅深深地刻进中国人的文化基因,而且对解决全人类面对的共同问题具有重要启示意义。全球治理倡议的五大核心理念扎根中华文明深厚历史土壤,汲取中华优秀传统文化精髓:奉行主权平等,反映了“世界大同”“协和万邦”的崇高理想;遵守国际法治,传承了“大智治制”“法与时移”的治理智慧;践行多边主义,承载着“求同存异”“和衷共济”的精神追求;倡导以人为本,彰显了“民为邦本”“黎元为先”的深切情怀;注重行动导向,体现了“知行合一”“开物成务”的实践精神。全球治理倡议通过推动中华优秀传统文化在新的历史条件下创造性转化、创新性发展,为破解全球性难题提供了穿越时空的文明启迪.
The final section says that GGI is permeated with the Marxist stance, viewpoints, and methodologies.
Marxism is a powerful ideological weapon for understanding and transforming the world, and it is the fundamental guiding ideology for the Communist Party of China in its founding, development, and prosperity. Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy adheres to the soul of Marxism and the roots of fine traditional Chinese culture, further promoting the Sinicization and modernisation of Marxism. As the latest achievement in the rich development of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, the GGI adheres to the Marxist stance, viewpoints, and methodologies, possessing powerful truth and practical force. 马克思主义是我们认识世界、改造世界的强大思想武器,是中国共产党立党立国、兴党兴国的根本指导思想。习近平外交思想坚守马克思主义这个魂脉和中华优秀传统文化这个根脉,进一步推动了马克思主义中国化时代化。作为习近平外交思想丰富发展的最新成果,全球治理倡议坚持马克思主义的立场观点方法,具有强大的真理力量和实践伟力.
Upholding the people’s standpoint. The people-centered approach is the most distinctive characteristic of Marxism, a theory seeking the liberation of all humankind. China’s value orientation in participating in global governance is people-centeredness. GGI insists on treating the people of all countries as fundamental participants and beneficiaries of global governance. Only by taking the wellbeing of the people as the goal and bringing tangible benefits to the people of all countries can the global governance system possess deep supporting forces and a solid foundation of public opinion. Practicing GGI means striving to turn the people of all countries’ aspirations for a better life into reality. Through reforming and improving global governance, we can gradually narrow the North-South divide, promote common development, advance the process of human modernization, and enhance the sense of gain for people of all countries; maintain world peace, ensure common security, better address common challenges facing all humanity, and enhance the sense of security for people of all countries; eliminate ideological barriers between different countries and groups, foster the flourishing of world civilizations, and enhance the sense of happiness for people of all countries. 坚守人民立场。人民性是马克思主义最鲜明的品格,马克思主义是谋求全人类解放的理论。中国参与全球治理的价值取向就是以人为本。全球治理倡议坚持把各国人民作为全球治理的根本参与者和受益者。只有以人民的福祉为目标,为各国民众带来真真切切的实惠,全球治理体系才能拥有深厚的支持力量与坚实的民意根基。践行全球治理倡议,就是要努力把各国人民对美好生活的向往变成现实。通过改革完善全球治理,逐步缩小南北鸿沟,促进共同发展,推动人类现代化进程,提升各国人民的获得感;维护世界和平,保障共同安全,更好地应对全人类共同挑战,提升各国人民的安全感;消除不同国家、不同群体间的思想隔阂,繁荣世界文明百花园,提升各国人民的幸福感.
Being adept at upholding fundamental principles while breaking new ground. Upholding fundamental principles or integrity while innovating is an important method of governance for our Party in the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘what we are engaged in is a great enterprise unprecedented in history. Only by upholding fundamental principles can we avoid losing our direction and committing subversive mistakes; only through innovation can we grasp the times and lead the times.’ GGI makes scientific use of the worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, upholds and develops Marxist world history theory and community thought, starting from the basic reality and fundamental trend that the destiny of human society is interconnected and the responsibility for global governance is shared, advocates the correct path of unity and cooperation for solving global difficulties, and continuously builds consensus and strength for unity over division, cooperation over confrontation, and justice over hegemony. On this basis, GGI focuses on innovating and improving global governance, enhancing the execution and effectiveness of the existing international system and international mechanisms, supporting the United Nations in reviving its authority and vitality under new circumstances, promoting reforms of IMF quotas and World Bank voting rights, and pushing global governance to better adapt to the needs of the new situation. 善于守正创新。守正创新是我们党在新时代治国理政的重要思想方法。习近平总书记指出:“我们从事的是前无古人的伟大事业,守正才能不迷失方向、不犯颠覆性错误,创新才能把握时代、引领时代。”全球治理倡议科学运用辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义的世界观和方法论,坚持和发展马克思主义世界历史理论和共同体思想,从人类社会命运与共、全球治理责任共担的基本现实和根本趋势出发,倡导团结合作这一解决全球性难题的正确道路,不断凝聚起要团结不要分裂、要合作不要对抗、要公正不要霸权的共识和力量。在此基础上,全球治理倡议着眼于创新完善全球治理,增强现行国际体系和国际机制的执行力、有效性,支持联合国在新形势下重振权威和活力,推动国际货币基金组织份额、世界银行投票权等改革,推动全球治理更好适应新形势需要.
Employing systems thinking. Systems thinking is an important method and tool for Marxism to understand and transform the world. GGI is comprehensive and logically rigorous, with its five core concepts complementing and organically unifying each other. It anchors the principles, methods, and paths for reforming the global governance system and mechanisms, comprehensively answering the major questions of ‘who governs, how to govern, and for whom to govern’ in global issues. In response to the current complex international situation and severe global challenges, GGI advocates systematic planning and overall advancement of various global governance agendas, coordinating global actions to both address immediate pressing issues and effectively respond to long-term future challenges. The four major global initiatives, GDI, GSI, GCI and GGI—each have their own focus and operate in parallel, forming an organic whole that promotes prosperity through development, maintains stability through security, enhances mutual trust through civilization, and seeks justice through governance. Together, they serve as a strategic guide for building a community with a shared future for mankind. 运用系统思维。系统思维是马克思主义认识世界、改造世界的重要方法和工具。全球治理倡议体系完整、逻辑严密,五大核心理念相辅相成、有机统一,锚定全球治理体制机制改革的原则、方法和路径,全面回答了全球性问题“由谁治理、如何治理、为谁治理”的重大命题。针对当前复杂的国际形势和严峻的全球挑战,全球治理倡议倡导系统谋划、整体推进全球治理各项议程,统筹协调全球行动,既推动解决眼前的迫切问题,又有效应对未来的长期挑战。全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议、全球治理倡议这四大全球倡议各有侧重、并行不悖,形成以发展促繁荣、以安全保稳定、以文明增互信、以治理求公正的有机整体,共同成为推动构建人类命运共同体的战略引领.
Adhering to the viewpoint of practice. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth; this is the core viewpoint of Marxist epistemology and the fundamental viewpoint of Marxist truth. GGI comes from China’s practice of participating in and leading the reform and construction of the global governance system, and must also return to the practice of promoting the improvement of global governance. GGI focuses on practical problems of greatest concern to all countries, especially developing countries, emphasising continuous enrichment of methods and pathways for reforming and improving global governance through policy communication and coordination with all parties. In areas where governance urgency is prominent and governance deficits are large, such as outer space, cyberspace, climate change, trade liberalisation, investment facilitation, and biodiversity protection, as well as in firmly upholding the authority and central position of the United Nations and supporting the UN’s implementation of the ‘Pact for the Future’, the Global Governance Initiative advocates that all parties actively take action and increase communication and cooperation, promoting the building of consensus and locking in results. GGI stands at the forefront of the times, further expanding the areas of cooperation in global governance, and promoting global governance to keep pace with technological development. Many countries and international organizations have expressed that they look forward to taking the implementation of this initiative as an opportunity to promote new achievements in the reform and construction of the global governance system. 坚持实践观点。实践是检验真理的唯一标准,这是马克思主义认识论的核心观点,是马克思主义真理观的基本观点。全球治理倡议从中国参与引领全球治理体系改革和建设的实践中来,也要回到推动完善全球治理的实践中去。全球治理倡议聚焦各国尤其是发展中国家最关心的实际问题,注重在同各方政策沟通协调中不断丰富改革完善全球治理的方法路径。在外层空间、网络空间、气候变化、贸易自由化、投资便利化、生物多样性保护等治理紧迫性突出、治理赤字较大的领域,以及坚定维护联合国权威和核心地位、支持联合国落实《未来契约》等方面,全球治理倡议倡导各方积极采取行动、加大沟通合作,推动凝聚共识、锁定成果。全球治理倡议站在时代前沿,进一步拓展全球治理的合作领域,推动全球治理赶上科技发展步伐。许多国家和国际组织表示,期待以落实这一倡议为契机,推动全球治理体系改革和建设取得新的成果.
Also in the paper today, there are reports on Wang Yi’s meetings in Kyrgyzstan. Wang met with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. Xinhua says:
“Noting that Kyrgyzstan-China relations have entered the best period in history, Japarov said Kyrgyzstan stands ready to work with China to maintain close high-level exchanges, expand bilateral trade, advance the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, and build a new model of solid friendship between the two countries. Kyrgyzstan will work with China to strengthen cooperation in civil aviation, logistics and border ports to enhance connectivity, deepen security cooperation, and jointly combat terrorism, separatism and extremism, thus advancing the Kyrgyzstan-China comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era. Japarov said Kyrgyzstan highly appreciates and supports the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi, and is ready to strengthen coordination with China within the United Nations and the China-Central Asia mechanism. He expressed the hope that China supports Kyrgyzstan in assuming the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).”
“Wang conveyed President Xi’s sincere greetings to Japarov, noting that head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in leading the development of bilateral ties. China will always be a trustworthy friend and reliable partner of Kyrgyzstan, Wang said, adding that China will continue to firmly support Kyrgyzstan in safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, support it in pursuing a development path suited to its national conditions, and oppose any external interference in its internal affairs. Wang said China will work with Kyrgyzstan to follow the consensus reached by the two heads of state, turn cooperation blueprints into concrete actions, and advance their respective modernization, thereby constantly enriching the China-Kyrgyzstan comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era. China stands ready to work with Kyrgyzstan to build an even closer community with a shared future, strengthen strategic communication and alignment, deepen economic ties, and do a good job in building the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, he said, adding that the two sides will foster new growth drivers in fields such as clean energy, digital trade and green mining, and deepen people-to-people exchanges to comprehensively elevate cooperation. Wang said China fully supports Kyrgyzstan in assuming the SCO rotating presidency, commends Kyrgyzstan’s constructive role in the China-Central Asia mechanism, and stands ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation within the United Nations and other multilateral platforms. China looks forward to Kyrgyzstan’s early accession to the International Organization for Mediation, he added.”
Wang also met with his Kyrgyz counterpart Jeenbek Kulubaev, for their first strategic dialogue.
“Wang Yi stated that, under the care and promotion of President Xi Jinping and President Japarov, political mutual trust between China and Kyrgyzstan has continued to be consolidated, and all-round cooperation has deepened and developed. The establishment of the strategic dialogue mechanism is a concrete action to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and is conducive to further enhancing the two sides’ strategic mutual trust, strengthening strategic coordination, and promoting strategic cooperation. China supports Kyrgyzstan in accelerating the realization of national revitalization, and is the most trustworthy and reliable partner of Kyrgyzstan. Working together to build a China–Kyrgyzstan community of shared future featuring good-neighbourliness, friendship, and common prosperity accords with the fundamental interests of both countries, meets the aspirations of the people, and conforms to the trend of the times. China is willing to work with Kyrgyzstan to deepen communication and cooperation on international affairs, and to improve and strengthen platforms such as the SCO and the China–Central Asia mechanism. China fully supports Kyrgyzstan in assuming the work of the rotating chairmanship of the SCO.” 王毅表示,在习近平主席和扎帕罗夫总统关心推动下,中吉政治互信持续巩固,全方位合作深入发展。建立战略对话机制是落实两国元首共识的具体行动,有利于进一步增进双方战略互信、加强战略协调、促进战略合作。中方支持吉方加快实现国家振兴,是吉方最可信赖和依靠的伙伴。携手共建睦邻友好、共同繁荣的中吉命运共同体契合两国根本利益,是民心所向、大势所趋。中方愿同吉方深化国际事务沟通协作,做优做强上海合作组织、中国—中亚机制等平台。中方全力支持吉方担任上合组织轮值主席国工作.
Kurubaev stated that Kyrgyzstan adheres to the one-China principle and will continue to firmly support China on all issues concerning China’s core interests, including those related to Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong.
