"The global governance system proposed by the Chinese side should, in principle, reduce the potential for conflicts in the world and is based, first and foremost, on dialogue and consensus, not on confrontation," a Kyrgyz scholar told Xinhua.

BISHKEK, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's global governance initiatives and visions are crucial for strengthening global peace and trust and for building a just and equitable world order, experts from Kyrgyzstan said in interviews with Xinhua.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping has noted, at a time when global challenges are mounting and conflicts and confrontations continue to flare up, the world is calling for peace and trust more than ever -- an assessment echoed by Kubanychbek Taabaldiev, a professor at Kyrgyzstan's Ala-Too International University.

Taabaldiev depicted such a call as "timely and crucial" for promoting solidarity in the face of a profound global crisis, as the world undergoes dramatic changes and the role of some international institutions is weakening.

He added that in an era of multiple crises -- ranging from military conflicts to the erosion of international law -- the only path forward lies in strengthening mutual respect and trust.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. China has consistently advocated for firmly preserving the United Nations' authority and status, while opposing hegemony, bullying and the pursuit of selfish interests at the expense of others.

"This is not just respect for the organization, but a defense of the very idea of collective security, based on the equality of states rather than the rule of the strongest," Taabaldiev said. "The call to resist hegemonic intimidation and self-serving actions reflects the demand of many Global South countries for a just, predictable and inclusive world order."

He also noted that stability has always been achieved through dialogue rather than domination, a principle that is becoming increasingly relevant today.

During the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit held this year in Tianjin, China proposed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI).

According to Kyrgyz expert Igor Shestakov, director of the Oy Ordo Centre for Expert Initiatives, this initiative focuses on building a multipolar world, particularly for the Global South countries, with an emphasis on equality among nations.

"Everything is built on equality, partnership and friendly relations. This initiative does not presuppose any dominance by one country over another," he said, adding that this approach forms an important foundation for improving the global governance system.

He noted that the GGI, along with China's vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, reflects the principles of equality, partnership and opposition to unilateralism.

"The global governance system proposed by the Chinese side should, in principle, reduce the potential for conflicts in the world and is based, first and foremost, on dialogue and consensus, not on confrontation," Shestakov added.
