Wang Yi Announces China’s Practical Actions to Further Implement the Global Governance Initiative

On October 23, 2026, at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Global Governance Forum (Xiong’an), Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that global governance serves the common interests of all nations, and requires the collective effort of the international community. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the restoration of the People’s Republic of China’s lawful seat in the United Nations. As a founding member of the U.N. and a permanent member of its Security Council, China stands ready to work with all countries to make relentless efforts to build a more just and equitable global governance system. In support of this goal, China will take the following practical actions:

First, China will deliver a successful APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in November. We will push for more outcomes around the three priorities of openness, innovation and cooperation, and work with other APEC economies toward building an Asia Pacific community and the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific.

Second, China will remain deeply engaged in advancing U.N. reform. We support efforts of the U.N. to streamline itself, improve efficiency and deliver more results, so as to better fulfill its mandate, serve the Member States, and rise to global challenges.

Third, China will encourage the Group of Friends of Global Governance to play a bigger role. We will organize more activities focusing on the nine priorities of global governance reform. We welcome more like-minded countries to join the Group and participate in its activities.

Fourth, China will work for the full and effective implementation of the BBNJ Agreement. As one of the first States Parties to the Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, China fully supports Xiamen’s bid to host the BBNJ Secretariat, which speaks to our desire to make new and important contributions to the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean and the advancement of global maritime governance.

Fifth, China will promote the recalibration of global human rights governance. The goal is to place the right to development high on the multilateral human rights agenda. China will hold a Workshop on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to support other developing countries in building capacity.

Sixth, China will issue a Position Paper on Strengthening Outer Space Governance. We would like to see the rules of outer space governance keep pace with exploration, reflect broad participation, and benefit all countries.

Seventh, China will issue a Progress Report on the AI Capacity-Building Action Plan for Good and for All. We will systematically review the cooperation outcomes, practical experience and specific cases since the Action Plan was launched two years ago, and push for deeper and more substantive international cooperation on AI.

Eighth, China will establish a Global Governance Research Center. With a focus on the major theoretical and practical issues in global governance, it will become a platform for high-quality research, release the Global Governance Index, and compile annual reports, so as to provide academic insights and intellectual support for the reform and improvement of global governance.
