Heads up, global citizens! 🌏 The 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit just wrapped up in Tianjin and it was buzzing with fresh ideas. Chinese President Xi Jinping stepped onto the stage to launch the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), aiming to turbocharge multilateralism with a people-first approach.
GGI is all about:
- 🤝 Equal sovereignty
- ⚖️ International rule of law
- 🔗 Multilateral cooperation
- 🌱 People-centered development
- 🚀 Practical action
In our latest chat on The Hub, Professor Mohammad Marandi from Tehran University and Yang Xiyu, senior fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, broke down why GGI matters. They traced its roots back to President Xi’s earlier Global Development, Global Security, and Global Civilization initiatives—and explained how these ideas are converging at the SCO.
But it wasn’t just talk. The summit spotlighted new collab zones in green industries, digital economy, artificial intelligence, education, healthcare, and energy. From countering unilateralism to ramping up inclusive globalization, attendees explored everything from Belt and Road economic projects to people-centered health programs.
For young entrepreneurs eyeing global markets, students tracking international trends, and explorers scouting fresh cultural routes, the SCO’s Shanghai Spirit has never felt more alive. 🌟 With the GGI fueling regional and global teamwork, this summit could be the spark for tomorrow’s biggest breakthroughs.
