India and China Must Lead Global Governance Reforms Through Multilateralism and Mutual Cooperation
As the 75th anniversary of India-China diplomatic ties approaches in 2025, there is a call for both nations to lead global governance reforms. The article highlights the 'Global Governance Initiative' (GGI) based on five principles: sovereignty, multilateralism, international rule of law, people-centered development, and results-oriented effectiveness. With the 25th SCO Summit in Tianjin and the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, both nations have platforms to strengthen communication. The goal is to reform the international system without overturning it, ensuring it reflects the aspirations of developing countries and the 'Global South.'
Key Points

- India and China are encouraged to use platforms like SCO and BRICS to uphold multilateralism.
- Effective global governance must address root causes of global problems rather than just symptoms.
