On October 27, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 23rd Lanting Forum and delivered remarks titled "Implementing the Global Governance Initiative for a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity".

Wang Yi stated that the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) builds on the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter, reflects the fine tradition of Chinese diplomacy, upholds the vision of a shared future, and sets out the principles, methods and paths to reform and improve global governance. It represents a creative advancement and elevation of the understanding of global governance as well as a breakthrough of theories of traditional international relations. It is a new major global public good contributed by China.

Wang Yi said that the GGI responds to the needs of the world and wishes of the people. Together with the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI), it promises much needed stability and provides certainty for this volatile world, and has received swift and clear support from more than 140 countries and international organizations. The international community believes that the Initiative is a timely call for solidarity in a world threatened by fragmentation, it holds up critical pillars when the U.N. foundation is being eroded, and it explicitly advocates togetherness instead of dominance as a rule of global governance. It believes that the GGI represents the maximum commonality of all countries, it is a key measure to tackle global challenges and defend multilateralism, and it is a critical step toward a more just and equitable world.
