Heads up, global citizens! 🌏 President Xi Jinping of the Chinese mainland kicked things off at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Plus Meeting in Tianjin on Monday, urging members to double down on multilateralism and defend a UN-centered international system.
In his address, President Xi highlighted the SCO as a potential trendsetter for the Global Governance Initiative—think of it as a blueprint for tackling shared challenges, from climate action to digital innovation.
"We should uphold the vision of global governance featuring extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, strengthen solidarity and coordination, and oppose unilateralism," he said, driving home the importance of teamwork over go-it-alone moves.
Xi also called on efforts to safeguard the status and authority of the United Nations, making sure it remains the irreplaceable hub for global decision-making. 🤝
For young pros in South and Southeast Asia—where collaboration, diversity, and tech-savvy solutions are part of our DNA—this message hits home. Whether you’re coding the next big app or rallying for social change, stronger global cooperation sets the stage for real impact.
