In a recent address, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Jiang Zaidong outlined China’s vision for a multipolar world, underscoring the need for equal treatment, fairness, and solidarity in global governance.

He highlighted that the current global transformation—marked by rising geopolitical conflicts, multiple crises, and growing disparities in peace, development, and governance—has brought the world to a critical juncture.

According to Jiang, the concept of a multipolar world is not only an inevitability but also a reality in the making. He expressed China’s commitment to advocating for a multipolar world that is not dominated by major powers but is built on principles of equality and inclusivity.

The ambassador reiterated that China’s stance promotes equal rights, opportunities, and representation for all countries, regardless of their size, and underscores the importance of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign nations.

He further stressed China’s support for the Global South, asserting that international affairs should no longer be monopolized by a few powerful nations. The development and resources of the world, Jiang stated, should be shared equitably among all countries, with a focus on achieving win-win cooperation and mutual benefits.

China has consistently championed the rights and interests of the Global South, with President Xi Jinping advocating for greater cooperation and unity among these nations.

Jiang also pointed out the importance of solidarity and coordination in tackling global challenges. In this context, China promotes an action-oriented approach that goes beyond narrow geopolitical interests and fosters cooperation. This, he argued, is critical for responding to the world’s most pressing problems, as isolationist approaches such as protectionism and decoupling are counterproductive.

Drawing attention to China’s active role in multilateralism, the ambassador noted that China has been a staunch advocate for the United Nations-centered international system, free trade, and the multilateral trading system.

He stressed that China’s principles have been translated into concrete actions through initiatives such as the Community with a Shared Future for Mankind and the Three Global Initiatives—GSI (Global Security Initiative), GDI (Global Development Initiative), and GCI (Global Civilization Initiative).

Jiang also reaffirmed China’s commitment to building international organizations and improving the global governance system, with a focus on enhancing regional cooperation. He highlighted the importance of these efforts in achieving world modernization and advancing global peace and prosperity.

The ambassador particularly commended Pakistan’s support for China’s global initiatives and its active role in promoting multilateralism. He expressed China’s readiness to work closely with Pakistan in strengthening their strategic partnership, which is based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

Both nations, as key members of the Global South, are committed to rejecting unilateralism and hegemony while working to ensure that the voices of developing countries are heard in global decision-making.

Concluding his address, Ambassador Jiang reiterated China’s determination to work with Pakistan to advocate for an equal, inclusive, and orderly multipolar world. By defending the interests of developing countries and upholding international fairness, China and Pakistan aim to steer the world toward a future of peace, security, development, and prosperity.
