UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis praises India’s leadership at the UN, highlighting its commitment to multilateralism and its potential to contribute significantly to global affairs. He emphasizes India’s role in South-South cooperation and its expertise in digitalization, while also discussing the importance of Security Council reform and the upcoming Summit of the Future.
Multilateralism, a collaborative approach among multiple countries, is crucial for fostering peace and resolving global issues. The United Nations plays a pivotal role in promoting multilateralism, facilitating cooperation and protecting human rights worldwide. The rise in the number of UN member states and the inclusion of non-governmental organizations and international organizations have expanded the scope of multilateral diplomacy. The principles of consultation, inclusion, and solidarity underpin multilateralism, shaping a collective political project focused on shared values. As leaders prepare for the UN Summit of the Future, reinvigorating multilateralism is essential for achieving peace, development, and a better world.
