The Russian president said the initiative is aimed at fostering positive collaboration between countries that attended the latest SCO summit
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reiterated his support for China's proposed global governance reform project, hailing it as a timely initiative aimed at promoting positive ties between the countries that attended the latest Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin.
In his keynote speech on Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked what he called "the Shanghai spirit" of mutual trust, respect and pursuit of shared development and urged SCO members to "oppose the Cold War mentality, bloc confrontation and bullying practices."
Xi proposed the 'Global Governance Initiative,' calling on SCO nations to uphold equality, multilateralism and UN authority to build a fairer global system.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Putin called the Chinese initiative "very timely and important" and said it would help establish positive collaboration between the countries that gathered at the SCO summit, as well as with those which have yet to declare their desire for partnership.
Putin also stressed that the multipolar world being proposed by Moscow and Beijing and the new global governance system would not entail the rise of new hegemons. "All countries participating in international communication should have equal rights and occupy an equal position," the Russian president said.
