Global governance should be improved through reform in order to calibrate the right course of history, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Munich, Germany on Saturday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks while addressing the "China in the World" session of the ongoing Munich Security Conference.

Noting that the international situation has become more volatile and intertwined over the past year, Wang said that Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Governance Initiative in which he called for the practice of sovereign equality, international rule of law, multilateralism, a people-centered approach, and real actions, in a bid to build a more just and reasonable global governance system.

The initiative conforms to the progressive trend of the times, represents the broadest common ground of the international community, and has been quickly and widely supported and endorsed, Wang said, adding that it has injected new impetus into the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Humanity has gone through hardships to this day, and sticking together through thick and thin is the right choice, Wang said, calling on the global community to improve global governance through reform in order to calibrate the course of the historical ship.

In his remarks, Wang outlined four suggestions for improving global governance through reform: revitalize the United Nations (UN) system, coordinate and cooperate with other countries, consistently practice multilateralism, and prioritize stopping the war and promoting peace.

China will be a firm contributor to peace, stability and historical progress, and will promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, Wang said in his remarks.
