China targets practical action from global governance forum next week

BEIJING, Oct 16 (Reuters) - ‌China is ​aiming ​to spur more effective and accessible global governance solutions at a forum next ‌week, convened under its push for an ⁠alternative governance system for the world.

• The Chinese People's ‌Institute of Foreign Affairs ‌will host the Global Governance Forum, themed on rebuilding trust and confidence, on October 23 ​to 25 in the Xiongan New Area located within the northern province of Hebei.

• The ⁠forum aims to further explore specific and effective approaches, as well ​as tangible and attainable solutions to help the international community solve problems, the ​president of the institute, Wu ‌Ken, told reporters on Friday.

• Around 180 foreign guests from the Global ⁠South, Europe, the US and elsewhere are expected at the forum, with 70% of attendees being experts, ⁠academics and prominent figures from fields including climate change, AI ​and trade. Chinese guests number more than 200.

• Introduced last year by President Xi Jinping, the Global Governance ‌Initiative is Beijing's diplomatic push for multilateralism and a reformed and more ‌equitable global governance system.

• China sees the current ⁠system as deficient, with ‌the UN Charter ​not effectively observed and the Global South underrepresented.
