EIR News Service will hold an EIR Emergency Roundtable Dialogue online Nov. 20, 2026, at 11:00 am (ET) and 17:00 (CET).

The tripartite summit meeting among presidents Xi Jinping of China, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Donald Trump of the United States has now been officially confirmed, and will be held on Nov. 19 on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. Its outcome, although uncertain at this time, could open the door to a new era of Mankind, where wars, poverty, moral depravity and the law of the jungle are replaced by a new international security and development architecture—along the lines of what China’s President Xi Jinping has called his Global Governance Initiative—which is worthy of the dignity of Man.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who has just returned from a three-week trip to China, as far back as Jan. 4, 2020 had issued an urgent call for such a tripartite summit to be held. She did so in response to the brutal assassination of Iranian leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the first Trump administration, one day earlier:

“We call on President Trump to meet with Presidents Putin and Xi to not only address the immediate danger of war in Southwest Asia, but to do so with permanent effect by creating a New Paradigm for the world—to change the world, as [Lyndon] LaRouche said.

“Such a paradigm must be based on the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years War in Europe. Warring nations broke the cycle of retribution and revenge and acted for the ‘advantage of the other.’

“Such a paradigm must end geopolitics and imperialism, and establish a new financial and strategic architecture for the world, based on defense of the sovereignty and cultural integrity of all nations.”

President Xi Jinping’s Global Governance Initiative, launched a little over a year ago on Sept. 1, 2025, is a proposal which similarly calls for a new paradigm shift, and has received widespread support from around the planet (it has been endorsed by more than 160 countries and international organizations)—but which unfortunately remains virtually unknown in the West. As President Xi stated when he launched the proposal: “I look forward to working with all countries for a more just and equitable global governance system and advancing toward a community with a shared future for humanity.”

Perhaps the strongest voice in the West for such an approach to bringing Mankind back from the brink of thermonuclear war and economic collapse, is that of Pope Leo XIV. On his latest apostolic journey to South America, the Pope has addressed well over 10 million people, with a heavy emphasis on youth, to also explain how a new future is possible. “The wars and tensions that afflict so many peoples call for patient diplomacy—diplomacy that keeps dialogue open, respects international law, and seeks agreements that protect the lives and dignity of people. Every nation has legitimate aspirations, but none can regard the fate of others as extraneous to its own concern… May we never give up on seeking ways to alleviate the suffering of peoples and move toward peace.”

In response to the urgency—and the unique potential—of the moment, EIR, along with the International Peace Coalition (IPC), will hold an Emergency Roundtable Dialogue on Nov. 20—one day after the historic tripartite Xi-Putin-Trump summit in Shenzhen—which will bring together leading statesmen and thinkers from all continents to evaluate the results and implications of that summit, and to provide especially to a Western audience an in-depth understanding of the Global Governance Initiative and what it has already accomplished in the Global South and Global East.

The keynote address will be delivered by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who has just returned from China, where she participated in the Oct. 23-25 Global Governance Forum in Xiong’an New Area, Hebei Province, China.

The proceedings will be held in English and will be simultaneously interpreted into multiple languages. Please use this Zoom Link to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83288789255\

Invitation links, and more information, will be forthcoming by Nov. 16, on https://eir.news/.
