This morning in New York, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Prof. dr. Amon Murwira, attended the Meeting of the Group of Friends on Global Governance, convened at the United Nations under the theme “𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑮𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆: 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝑨𝒅𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔.”
The high-level meeting was chaired by China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Wang Yi, and also addressed by the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Amina J. Mohamed, alongside representatives from member states and international organizations from across the globe.

In his opening remarks, Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for a more inclusive and equitable system of global governance anchored on equality, mutual respect, and multilateral cooperation. He emphasized the need to reject “the politicization, instrumentalization, and weaponization of human rights” and advocated for reforms to global financial and economic institutions to better reflect changing global realities.

Minister Wang Yi underscored the importance of reforming the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to provide greater representation for developing countries and the Global South. He also called for the restoration of the World Trade Organization’s dispute settlement mechanism and respect for diverse economic systems and development paths among nations.

Addressing emerging global challenges, the Chinese Foreign Minister proposed stronger international cooperation in artificial intelligence governance, cyberspace, and outer space. He announced China’s proposal to establish a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization and reiterated support for the United Nations to play a leading role in regulating AI and bridging the global digital divide.
“AI should serve as a force for good,” Wang Yi said, adding that China would host the World AI Conference and a high-level meeting on global AI governance in Shanghai later this year.

He further emphasized the importance of cultural dialogue and exchanges among civilizations as a means of reducing geopolitical tensions and fostering understanding among nations.

United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Ms. Amina J. Mohamed described the current global moment as one requiring urgent reform and renewed commitment to multilateralism. Reflecting on the 80th anniversary of the United Nations Charter, she noted that while the multilateral system had prevented another world war and advanced human rights and sustainable development, it now faces unprecedented strain.
''To sum it up, multilateralism has not failed. Multilateralism has been failed.''

Ms. Mohamed warned that rising conflicts, climate change, economic inequality, and rapidly advancing technologies were exposing weaknesses in the current global governance architecture. She stressed the importance of reforming international financial institutions and the UN Security Council to better reflect contemporary geopolitical realities, particularly the need for greater African representation.

She also highlighted ongoing UN reform efforts under the UN80 initiative, aimed at making the organization more agile, effective, and responsive to modern global challenges.

In his intervention, Prof. Murwira reaffirmed Zimbabwe’s commitment to multilateralism, peaceful coexistence, and international cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Charter.
“Zimbabwe welcomes this important meeting under the theme reforming and improving global governance, working together to address global challenges,” Prof. Murwira said.

He emphasized that Zimbabwe’s foreign policy is guided by respect for international law, sovereign equality among states, and peaceful resolution of disputes. Prof. Murwira commended Chinese President Xi Jinping for his leadership in advancing the Global Governance Initiative and stressed that the current global environment demands solidarity and collective action.

Prof. Murwira said global governance institutions must better reflect present-day geopolitical realities by ensuring fair representation of developing countries, particularly Africa and the Global South.
“The continued under-representation of Africa and the Global South in key international institutions undermines both the legitimacy and effectiveness of the global governance architecture,” he said.

The Minister also highlighted the importance of South-South cooperation and triangular cooperation as essential mechanisms for promoting sustainable development and shared prosperity. He reiterated Zimbabwe’s “friend to all and enemy to none” foreign policy doctrine, which promotes inclusive engagement and non-adversarial diplomacy.

Prof. Murwira further informed delegates that Zimbabwe is standing for election to a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2027–2028 term as the sole African Union-endorsed candidate.
“If elected, Zimbabwe will work to advance a more balanced, inclusive, and effective approach to international peace and security,” he said.

The meeting concluded with renewed calls to strengthen multilateralism, reform global governance institutions, and enhance cooperation to address shared global challenges.

Prof. Murwira is in New York to campaign for Zimbabwe’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council (2027–2028 term) and is leading diplomatic lobbying, meeting UN member states, and promoting Zimbabwe’s candidacy ahead of the upcoming election at the UN headquarters set for the 3rd of June 2026.

This Tuesday, Prof. dr. Amon Murwira attended the United Nations Security Council High-Level Open Debate on “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System,” chaired by H.E. Wang Yi, Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China.

In his intervention, Prof. Murwira reaffirmed Zimbabwe’s commitment to a United Nations Security Council that reflects contemporary geopolitical realities and addresses historical imbalances, particularly Africa’s exclusion from permanent membership and under-representation in the non-permanent category.

He emphasized that, 80 years after the founding of the United Nations, the UN Charter remains central to safeguarding peace, security, sovereign equality, and multilateral cooperation. He further noted that growing geopolitical tensions, unilateral measures, exclusionary practices, and the selective application of international law continue to undermine collective security and trust among nations.

Prof. Murwira called for strengthened cooperation between the United Nations Security Council and regional organizations, particularly the African Union, in line with Chapter VIII of the UN Charter. He also reiterated Zimbabwe’s support for the full and balanced implementation of Security Council Resolution 2719.

Highlighting Zimbabwe’s candidature for the Security Council, Prof. Murwira stated that Zimbabwe seeks to contribute meaningfully to international peace and security by promoting dialogue, consensus-building, inclusivity, preventive diplomacy, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

Zimbabwe further urged all United Nations Member States to recommit themselves to the principles of the UN Charter and work collectively toward a just, peaceful, inclusive, and equitable international order.
