China's NPC Standing Committee Ratifies Agreement Establishing World AI Cooperation Organization With 38 Founding Members
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular press conference on November 9 that the 25th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress has decided to ratify the Agreement on the Establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization.
Guo said that in July this year, President Xi Jinping announced the creation of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, drawing a positive international response, with 38 countries becoming founding members.
As the initiator and host country of the organization, China took the lead in ratifying the agreement, which Guo said reflects its sincere wish and firm commitment to advancing the organization's preparatory process.
Guo said China will continue to follow the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, actively promote the organization's substantive operation, focus on practical cooperation and capacity building for Global South countries, and welcome more countries to join.
