Russian President Vladimir Putin has voiced support for China’s global governance reform project, which seeks to foster positive collaboration among nations. The initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, was announced at the latest Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin. Xi invoked the “Shanghai spirit” of mutual trust, respect and shared development, urging SCO members to reject Cold‑War mentalities and bullying practices.
Xi’s proposal, called the “Global Governance Initiative,” calls on SCO countries to uphold equality, multilateralism and United Nations authority in order to build a fairer global system. During a press conference on Wednesday, Putin described the initiative as “very timely and important,” saying it would help establish constructive cooperation between the SCO participants and other states that have not yet expressed a desire for partnership. He emphasized that the envisioned multipolar world and new global governance framework would not create new hegemons; instead, all nations engaged in international dialogue should enjoy equal rights and an equal standing.
Putin’s remarks come as China and Russia work to deepen their ties and promote a more equitable global order. The Tianjin SCO summit gathered leaders from various countries to discuss regional and global issues, reflecting the organization’s growing importance as member states seek cooperation on economic, security and political matters. China’s proposed reform is viewed as an effort to enhance cooperation and understanding among nations, with a focus on equality and multilateralism, and has been welcomed by Russia, a long‑time advocate of a multipolar world order.
The reform project is expected to be discussed further in the coming months, with details on implementation and impact yet to be announced. As the global landscape continues to evolve, international observers will closely monitor the initiative’s development and its potential implications for global governance.
