Xi's diplomacy in 2025: Shedding light on a world at crossroads

In October, during the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women in Beijing, he outlined China's proposals to support women in "enabling them to play a substantive role in global governance and share in its benefits."

A month later, at the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting held in the Republic of Korea (ROK), Xi urged economies to "bear in mind the well-being of the entire humanity, and promote the sound and orderly development of AI while ensuring that it is beneficial, safe and fair."

As the world grapples with a deficit in rules-based governance and a widening gap in global cooperation, the initiatives underscore China's commitment to advancing global governance by working together "to fully mobilize resources from all quarters and tackle more effectively the common challenges for humanity."
