Russian Foreign Ministry: The Global Governance Initiative is of great significance for building a multipolar world order

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said on the 12th that the global governance initiative is of great significance for building a more just and multipolar world order. At a regular press briefing that day, when answering questions from a Xinhua News Agency reporter, Zakharova said that during the September 2025 Tianjin “Shanghai Cooperation Organization +” meeting, Russian President Putin gave a positive assessment of the global governance initiative put forward by the Chinese side, and that the Russian side has clearly stated its support for this initiative. Zakharova said that, based on the consensus reached by the heads of state of Russia and China, as independent forces in the process of building a multipolar world, Russia and China will fully tap the potential of bilateral relations, safeguard the international system centered on the United Nations and the basic rules of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, promote the realization of an orderly and equitable world multipolarization and the democratization of international relations, and pool strength to build a more just and reasonable multipolar world. Zakharova emphasized that the alignment between Russia and China on positions of principle will help strengthen practical cooperation between the two sides on multiple international platforms, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS mechanism.
