Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called for stronger international cooperation during a high-profile meeting at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, February 13, 2026. The talks focused on addressing global governance challenges and reinforcing multilateral frameworks.
🔑 Key Priorities: – Protecting the United Nations' central role in global affairs – Preventing a return to 'law of the jungle' power dynamics – Enhancing coordination on climate, security, and economic initiatives
Wang, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized: "As permanent UN Security Council members, China and France must lead by example in solving humanity's common challenges."
The meeting comes as both nations prepare to co-host this year's Global Governance Innovation Forum in Marseille. Analysts suggest the collaboration could shape critical debates on AI ethics and sustainable development in 2026.
