Addressing the Baku #NAM Ministerial Meeting.The world tday has moved on from what the NAM founding leaders faced in Bandung in 1955.The scales of global geopolitical balance hv shifted&continue to do so,propelled by forces of globalis’n & transformational technological progress
We are more interconnected& interdependent thn ever before. Climate change,environmental degradation,terrorism,poverty, humanitarian/natural calamities, cyber security threats,serious security implications of frontier technologies are just some of the challenges of this new world
These challenges can only be faced together, not when we are divided. It requires collaboration, not coercion. In short, effective multilateralism remains the only answer. And that requires all of us to be truly independent and think for ourselves.
Multilateralism is undoubtedly under strain today. It is important that our Movement - that represents two thirds of the world’s population - continues to work together and take the lead in building multilateral governance structures that are capable of meeting these challenges.
We must reform and revitalise the current arrangements and working methods of our Movement, to allow us to pursue a positive and forward looking agenda. At the same time, we must guard against attempts to divide us and to misuse multilateral platforms to further narrow interests.
A democratic, effective, flexible, credible, transparent and representative, multilateral order – “reformed multilateralism”, – is a 21st century imperative.
