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 this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement. Climate change has become a pressing challenge. On tackling climate change, no country should lag behind, and none should shirk its responsibility. Developed countries must earnestly fulfill their emission reduction commitments, and provide financial and technological support to developing countries. China stands ready to play an important role, honor its words with concrete actions and strive to do its utmost within its capability. Recently, President Xi Jinping has announced China's new Nationally Determined Contributions, which reflects China's uttermost efforts based on the requirements of the Paris Agreement. China is ready to work more closely with the international community on green technologies and industries and stay on the right track toward green transition.

Wang Yi said that science and technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and global governance needs to keep up with the times. Artificial intelligence (AI) should benefit all humanity; it should neither be monopolized by a few countries nor be maliciously abused. China supports the U.N., as the main channel in global AI governance, in guiding countries to strengthen the alignment of AI development strategies, governance rules and technical standards, so as to form a governance framework and standards with broad consensus. China is actively implementing the Global AI Governance Initiative, and has initiated the World AI Cooperation Organization (WAICO), to advance AI for good and for all and support capacity building in Global South countries. China welcomes the active participation of all countries in these efforts.

Wang Yi stated that building a world of universal and common security is an inherent responsibility of the international community. While we welcome the first-phase agreement on the Gaza conflict, and the humanitarian disaster has finally been eased, peace there remains very fragile. China calls for a genuine, comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, and the implementation of "the Palestinians governing Palestine" principle as well as the two-State solution for the purpose of lasting peace and stability in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the Ukraine crisis continues to persist. China holds an objective and just position, actively promotes peace talks, and stands ready to work with the international community to continue the efforts for peace.
