BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- The Global Governance Initiative (GGI) proposed by China could not be more timely, which quickly received support and responses from more than 150 countries and international organizations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

The GGI fully meets the common expectations of the international community and reflects the shared aspirations of people from all countries, Wang told a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the National People's Congress.

Wang said the most clear-cut signal from the GGI is that the leading status of the United Nations (UN) must be upheld, not challenged; the central role of the UN must be strengthened, not weakened.

"Without the UN, the world would be worse," the foreign minister said.

Creating parallel structures outside the UN or, worse still, putting together various exclusive blocs and circles is unpopular and unsustainable, he said.

As a founding member of the UN and a staunch defender of its cause, China calls on more countries to participate in and support the GGI, and to work together to revitalize the UN, defend the UN and make the UN stronger, according to Wang.
