The China-proposed Global Security Initiative and Global Governance Initiative offer Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for the international community in responding to global challenges, said Meng Xiangqing, head of the Chinese People's Liberation Army expert delegation and a professor with China's National Defense University, at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 on Saturday.
In a speech at a session of the Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 in Singapore, Meng said that the world today is confronted with a range of challenges, including the impact of hegemonism on regional security, rising risks of nuclear conflict, the serious erosion of the international arms control, disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation regime, and growing disorder in global governance.
"Against this backdrop, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Security Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative, advocating a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. The initiatives uphold multilateralism and the rule of law in international affairs, providing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions in responding to global changes. I believe that all countries, especially major ones, should effectively implement the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, and shoulder their due responsibilities for maintaining strategic stability," said Meng.
On jointly tackling the complex global challenges, Meng said that all countries should firmly safeguard the post-war international order and strengthen the political foundation for strategic stability.
Meng also said that all countries should actively advance inclusive governance to build a fair and equitable global security governance system, strengthen consensus on arms control and uphold the nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime, and proactively manage risks from emerging technologies to prevent a "regulatory vacuum" in the military domain.
"We hope all countries will join hands to practice true multilateralism and inject positive energy into global strategic stability," the professor said.
