United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said multilateralism is needed to solve global challenges such as climate change and terrorism.
Convinced that simply saying this will not make it happen, he said dismissing or vilifying the doubters of multilateralism will lead nowhere.
The truth is that many people around the world are not convinced of the power and purpose of international cooperation.We need to understand why - and act on that understanding, he told reporters Friday at a news conference at the UN headquarters in New York.
Guterres said that as "we look to the challenges we face from climate change to migration to terrorism to the downsides of globalisation there is no doubt in my mind that global challenges require global solutions."
We hear troubling, hateful echoes of eras long past. Poisonous views are penetrating political debates and polluting the mainstream, Guterres said
