RUSSIA supports the global governance initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is interested in moving to a concrete discussion of the proposals, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“We have certainly listened carefully to everything proposed by Xi Jinping regarding the creation of a new, more effective and functional system of global governance. This is especially relevant at a time when some countries still refuse to abandon their pursuit of dominance in international affairs. Russia supports President Xi Jinping’s initiative and is interested in moving to a concrete discussion of the proposals put forward by our Chinese friends,” Putin said at the “SCO Plus” meeting.
Earlier in the day, Xi proposed an initiative in the field of global governance designed to build a more equitable global system. China is ready to work together with all countries to create a more just and equitable global governance system and move towards a community with a common future for humanity, Xi added.
An increasing number of states are seeking cooperation with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and genuine interest and attention from the international community toward the organization continues to grow, Putin said.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization could become a leader in shaping a more just system of global governance, Vladimir Putin said.
The combined GDP of the SCO countries is growing faster than the world average, despite the difficulties in the global economy, Putin said.
