SHINGHAI, May 20(ABC): The Global Security Initiative bridges the peace deficit and guides the way to solve global security dilemmas, said Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi while hosting a video conference of BRICS foreign ministers on Thursday.
In April’s Boao Forum for Asia, President Xi Jinping proposed a Global Security Initiative (GSI), an idea taking security as the guiding principle, mutual respect as the fundamental requirement, indivisible security as the important principle, and building a security community as the long-term goal, in order to foster a new type of security that replaces confrontation, alliance and a zero-sum approach with dialogue, partnership and win-win results.
In the conference, Wang said the pursuit of “absolute security” and “exclusive security” will not work, stressing that countries should go beyond the you-win-I-lose Cold War mentality and respect and guarantee the security of every country.
