The Global Governance Initiative answers the call of the times and meets the needs of countries around the world, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said in Beijing on Friday. Guo made the remarks during a routine press conference in response to Foreign Minister Wang Yi attending a meeting of the Group of Friends of the Global Governance Initiative. Since December, the Group of Friends of Global Governance has grown from scratch in just five months, taking root successively in New York, Geneva and Vienna, with its membership expanding and its influence and cohesion continuing to rise, which is where global opinion trends and the arc of history bends, Guo said.
