On May 28, 2026 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the meeting of the Group of Friends of Global Governance at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. He stated that since the group’s establishment, all members have carried out extensive discussions on reforming and improving global governance, and reached the following consensus on five key points:
First, all members support the democratization of international relations. All countries, regardless of size, strength or wealth, have the right to choose their own social systems and development paths, and to participate, decide and benefit equally in global governance.
Second, all members call for upholding the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter, ensuring the equal application of international law and international rules, and opposing double standards and coercion.
Third, all members support safeguarding the central role of the United Nations, practicing multilateralism, strengthening multilateral mechanisms, and opposing unilateralism and power politics.
Fourth, all members support reforming and improving global governance and narrowing the North-South divide to ensure that all countries share the benefits of development and that no country is left behind.
Fifth, all members call for addressing the most pressing challenges facing the international community through concrete actions and practical results to ensure global governance meets the needs of the times and the people.
