The Global Governance Initiative (GGI) proposed by President Xi Jinping is an additional value to the United Nations Charter, amplifying the voices and needs of the Global South, said Serbian Prime Minister Djuro Macut.

Macut visited China earlier this month and attended the eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE), where he underscored the strength of bilateral relations and China's positive role in global development.

In an interview with China Media Group (CMG) in Shanghai which was aired Friday, Macut spoke highly of the China-proposed GGI, saying that this concept holds profound significance in reforming global governance system with a special emphasis on the needs of Global South countries.

Xi put forward the GGI at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Plus Meeting this year. This initiative, along with the earlier proposals on global development, security, and civilization, has been widely applauded for addressing pressing global challenges and building a more balanced, inclusive, and sustainable multilateral world.

"Your policy of the global governance of the global community and global relations is something that is really an additional value to the Charter of the United Nations. This is a very good adaptation of the global world," said Macut.

"So, this type of balancing as these proposals are coming from President Xi, the global governance, meaning that we have to hear all the countries. We have to recognize the Global South, and to fit that to their needs, to the possibilities that are coming from the developed countries and how they could share the common future in sharing the human wealth, economic wealth, or the governance wealth," he said.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) after the alliance failed to join the attacks on Iran, The Telegraph reported on Wednesday.

When asked if he would reconsider America's membership in the alliance after the conflict, he said the question is "beyond reconsideration," adding, "I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger."

Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with NATO for "not being there," saying it was "actually hard to believe."

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Trump would make a decision on the future of NATO given the fact that some U.S. allies refuse to provide support, after the end of U.S. military operations against Iran.

Following Trump's criticism, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is not changing his position on the war.

Multiple European countries have kept their distance from the conflict with Iran. Starmer on Monday said his country will not get dragged into the conflict "whatever the pressure and whoever it's coming from," while Spain on Monday closed its airspace to all flights related to the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.
