When was the Global Security Initiative first proposed?

The Global Security Initiative was first put forward at the opening ceremony of the 2022 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia.

At the opening ceremony of the 2022 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia, he delivered a keynote speech entitled "Working together to meet challenges and create the future", and put forward the global security initiative for the first time.

The initiative takes "six persistences" as its core meaning, that is, adhering to the concepts of unity, comprehensiveness, cooperation and sustainability, respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, adhering to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, paying attention to the legitimate security concerns of all countries, resolving differences and disputes among countries by peaceful means through dialogue and consultation, and coordinating the maintenance of security in traditional and non-traditional fields. The Global Security Initiative has contributed China's wisdom to make up for the peace deficit of mankind and provided China's solution to the international security challenges.

The practical necessity of global security initiatives

1. This initiative aims at promoting and strengthening the international security architecture led by the United Nations and based on the Charter and purposes of the United Nations. After the cold war, the United States has been trying to establish an international security order with alliance as the core and reflecting the values and interests of the United States and the West.

In recent years, the overall security strategy of the United States has put more emphasis on competition among major powers, which has led to violent turmoil in the international security order, with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as a prominent manifestation. The United States deals with relations between major powers with geopolitical competition thinking, which leads to the sharp deterioration of US-Russian relations and the great twists and turns in Sino-US relations.

2. The Global Security Initiative emphasizes that the security of all countries is inseparable, which is essentially different from the alliance-led security architecture of the United States and the West. The latter is to group security issues into small groups, which makes the current international security order extremely serious, damages the security interests of most countries, and is not conducive to the benign evolution of the global security order.

At present, the Asia-Pacific region is in the process of integration, which is the core component of globalization. One of the key elements of Asia-Pacific integration is security. The United States is trying to establish a regional security order dominated by it in the Asia-Pacific region, which seriously deviates from the trend of Asia-Pacific integration and harms the security interests of countries in the region. The Global Security Initiative is committed to promoting lasting peace and universal security in the Asia-Pacific region and promoting regional integration in the Asia-Pacific region at the security level, which is also of great significance to the globalization process.
