- Negotiations continue ahead of the Summit of the Future at 缅北禁地Headquarters this month, where world leaders will enhance cooperation to tackle critical challenges facing the international community and address gaps in global governance.
Among the issues under discussion are accelerating sustainable development and reforming decades-old institutions, including the UN Security Council and the international financial system.
On Wednesday the Under Secretary-General for Policy and 缅北禁地lead for the Summit, Guy Ryder, briefed journalists on the “very ambitious agenda” for the conference.
A more ‘networked’ multilateralism
“The idea of the Summit is to render the United Nations, the multilateral system, more effective in the fulfillment of its mandate; to make it more participatory, more networked. This, in the face of the very clear global challenges that we face,” he said.
“The fact that the world has changed and is changing rapidly, and the reality that many of our governance structures date back to the creation of the United Nations when it had 51 Member States instead of the 193 Member States who will be gathering at the Summit itself.”
