Anaclaudia Rossbach, executive director of the UN Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), hailed the three major global initiatives proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, noting that solidarity is the only way to addressing global challenges. In an interview released by China Media Group (CMG) on Friday, Rossbach said the three initiatives help foster communication in the international community and promote global cooperation. The three major global initiatives are the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI). The GDI was proposed in 2021, calling for building a consensus on pursuing development, promoting shared growth and helping accelerate the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The GSI was proposed in 2022, giving clear answers to questions of the times, such as what security concept the world needs and how countries can achieve common security. The GCI was put forward in 2023, which advocates respect for the diversity of civilizations, the common values of humanity, the importance of inheritance and innovation of civilizations, as well as robust international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation.

I think the global solidarity, of course, we both know that it's needed, right, that there's no way out. I do believe that it is important that all member states and governments, let's say so, are engaged globally, and this is actually the nature of the UN. Otherwise I wouldn't be here."; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] FILE: Nairobi, Kenya - May 29, 2025 4. UN logo; 5. Flags; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] FILE: Beijing, China - Date Unknown 6.
