Multilateralism to anchor certainty

As global uncertainty becomes a defining feature of today's world, restoring confidence in multilateralism and global governance has become a central topic.

At the BFA New Year Outlook 2026 event, chairman of the forum and former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned that the world is becoming "more divided, more dangerous and less predictable," yet emphasized that most countries still believe multilateralism and international cooperation remain the right path.

Echoing this, discussions at the annual conference will focus on rebuilding trust, strengthening global governance, enhancing policy coordination, advancing China's high-quality development and elevating the role of the Global South. These efforts aim to inject stability into an increasingly volatile global landscape.
