On February 17, 2024 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a keynote speech during the "Conversation with China" session, stressing that China will be a force for stability in enhancing global governance.

Wang Yi said, the international system today is under serious strain from unilateralism and power politics. It has thus become a common call of the international community to revitalize multilateralism and work in solidarity to pull through. In China's view, the authority and central role of the United Nations can only be further strengthened, not weakened, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter have become all the more important, not outdated. China has dispatched the most peacekeepers among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, and is the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget and peacekeeping assessment. China supports the Security Council in playing a primary role in peace and security. China supports the UN in holding the Summit of the Future to explore more solutions to the challenges.

In the face of the climate threat, China has contributed to the UAE Consensus at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference. China will cut carbon emission intensity by the biggest margin in the world in the shortest time frame in history, and will without doubt deliver on this commitment. When it comes to challenges from Artificial Intelligence (AI), China supports establishing an international AI governance institution under the UN framework to jointly safeguard humanity's well-being.

China worked actively to enhance solidarity and cooperation of the Global South. China promoted the historic expansion of BRICS and gave support to the African Union in joining the G20, with a view to increasing developing countries' representation and voice in global affairs, and contributing to a more balanced and effective global governance architecture.

As the largest developing country, China has been doing its best to provide more public goods to the world. From the Belt and Road Initiative to the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, China has stayed committed to cooperation, openness and equality, and contributed its share to meeting global challenges.

In strengthening global governance, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and Taiwan affairs are China's internal affairs. To observe basic international norms, the one-China principle must be upheld. To preserve peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, "Taiwan independence" must be firmly rejected.
