Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the urgent need to reform global governance systems during his address at the 62nd Munich Security Conference on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Speaking to an international audience, Wang outlined China's vision for a more equitable multilateral framework, stressing the importance of revitalizing the United Nations and fostering cooperation among nations.
Four Pillars for Reform
Wang proposed four key measures: strengthening the UN system to prevent a 'law of the jungle' scenario, enhancing cross-border coordination, practicing genuine multilateralism, and prioritizing conflict resolution through dialogue. He highlighted ongoing crises, including the Gaza ceasefire efforts and Ukraine peace talks, as areas requiring immediate international attention.
China's Role in Multilateralism
The foreign minister reiterated China's commitment to being a 'staunch force for peace,' citing the Global Governance Initiative's growing support. He urged major powers to lead by example in upholding rules-based cooperation, while calling for renewed focus on implementing the two-state solution for Palestine and Israel.
