Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly expressed his support for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s initiative on global governance. The endorsement, made during a high-profile summit, signals a strong alignment between Moscow and Beijing on the future of the international order. Putin stated that the Russian Federation fully supports a vision for global governance that is more equitable, representative, and free from the dominance of a single power.
Putin’s backing for the initiative is a clear sign that Russia and China are working in concert to create a new geopolitical and economic framework. Both countries have long been critical of the existing international system, which they argue is a remnant of the Cold War and does not serve the interests of emerging powers. The collaboration on this front is seen as a direct challenge to the Western-led liberal order and a push for a multipolar world.
This joint push for a new governance model has significant implications for global diplomacy. It indicates that Russia and China are not just collaborating on bilateral issues but are also coordinating on a strategic level to reshape the international system. The initiative, and Russia’s support for it, will likely be a central theme in future international relations, as the world navigates the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar order.
