Promoting Global Governance Reform

At a meeting marking the 60th anniversary of the “Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence” on June 28, 2014, Xi Jinping highlighted the need to reform global governance in response to new changes in international power dynamics. As we face a wider array of global challenges, it is ever more necessary to enhance and reform global governance.

The governance structure should be jointly built by all countries for the benefit of all, rather than dominated by any one country. Global consultation is necessary to decide how to improve this structure.

China participates in and contributes to the existing international order, promotes international cooperation and multilateralism, and actively participates in multilateral initiatives. Naturally it should participate in the reform and improvement of global governance. China champions democracy in international relations. It holds that countries, irrespective of their size, strength and level of development, are all equal members of the international community, and it supports the United Nations to play an active role.

Based on its prevailing national conditions as a developing country, China will seek the right balance between rights and obligations, and protect its own national interests in conjunction with the shared interests of other developing countries. We will pursue an open, transparent and inclusive process to strengthen consultation and coordination with other G20 members, to make the G20 framework more responsive and more relevant, and to ensure its successful transition from a crisis management mechanism to a major platform for global economic governance. China holds that developing countries should increase their representation and raise their voices in international affairs. It will continue to play the role as a big responsible country, and it will cultivate the positive ways of conduct and philosophy of governance in the Chinese culture to benefit today’s global governance.
