CHINA FOREIGN MINISTER told the Friends of Global Governance meeting at UN
headquarters in New York on the 28th that members have coalesced around five
consensuses: advance democratization of international relations so all states,
regardless of size or wealth, may choose systems and development paths and
participate, decide and benefit equally in global governance; uphold the UN
Charter and ensure equal, uniform application of international law and rules,
opposing double standards and imposition; defend the UN’s central role by
practising multilateralism, strengthening multilateral mechanisms and opposing
unilateralism and power politics; reform and improve global governance to narrow
the North‑South gap, share development gains and leave no country behind; and
focus on practical problems, delivering concrete, visible outcomes to let global
governance withstand scrutiny over time.
