TIANJIN, China, September 1 (Sputnik) - Russia supports the "global governance" initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is interested in starting a concrete discussion of the proposals, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, Xi proposed an initiative in the field of global governance designed to build a more equitable global system with the SCO states at its core:
AI cooperation center with all partners
Defend justice, advance multipolarity
Invite to join China’s lunar station project
No confrontation, no targeting 3rd parties
"We have certainly listened attentively to everything that is proposed by Mr. Xi Jinping to create a new, more efficient and functional global governance system. This is relevant in an environment where some countries still do not give up their desire to dictate in international affairs. Russia supports the initiative of President Xi Jinping and is interested in starting a concrete discussion of the proposals made by our Chinese friends," Putin said.
