In recent years, China has been at the forefront of leading global initiatives targeted at creating
sustainable peace and prosperity.
At a time when the entire world is in difficult moments, especially with economies recovering
from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine crisis, China has stepped up, as expected
of the second-largest economy in the world, and provided concrete gateways that are workable
and could lead to global peace and stability.
In 2021, China introduced the Global Development Initiative and followed it up in 2022 with
the Global Security Initiative. In 2023, China announced yet another global initiative, the
Global Civilization Initiative.
