Chinese President Xi Jinping recently unveiled the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), a new diplomatic framework designed to address the long-standing frustrations of developing nations with the current international order. This initiative is particularly significant for Africa and the Global South, offering a potential path to rebalance global power dynamics.

• The GGI is built upon five core principles: sovereign equality, international rule of law, multilateralism, a people-centred approach, and an emphasis on real action.
• The initiative was launched at the “SCO Plus” Meeting in Tianjin.
• The GGI complements President Xi's other global initiatives, including the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and the Global Civilisation Initiative (GCI), collectively aiming to build a multipolar global architecture.
