China’s President Xi Jinping on Monday unveiled the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) at the “Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus” meeting in the northern port city of Tianjin. The summit brought together SCO dialogue partners and observer states.
Türkiye is one of the 15 dialogue partners of the bloc, which also includes two observer countries.
Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Xi said: “I look forward to working with all countries to establish a more just and equitable system of global governance and to advance towards a community with a shared future for humanity.”
Xi described global governance as having “reached a new crossroads” and urged SCO Plus nations to adhere to sovereign equality, respect international law, embrace multilateralism, adopt a people-centred approach, and focus on “taking real actions.”
As part of the initiative, Xi pledged that over the next five years China will treat 500 children with congenital heart disease, carry out 5,000 cataract operations, and conduct 10,000 cancer screenings in other SCO countries.
In recent years, Xi has proposed three similar initiatives covering security, civilisations, and development.
The Tianjin summit marked the largest gathering of the SCO to date and was the fifth time China has hosted the bloc since its formation in 2001. Around 20 heads of state and government, along with leaders of international organisations, attended the event.
Earlier on Monday, SCO leaders adopted the Tianjin Declaration, pledging to strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy and security.
