Mozambique's government on Tuesday called for deeper cooperation among members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) as the world confronts mounting geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, climate change, and other challenges of global magnitude.
The position was presented by Prime Minister Maria Benvinda Levi at the summit marking the 65th anniversary of the NAM, held in Belgrade, Serbia. "It is incumbent upon us to permanently promote dialogue, international cooperation, and respect for the United Nations Charter and International Law — indispensable pillars for responding to the complex challenges the world faces," Levi said, as quoted by Portuguese news agency Lusa.
Levi argued that the Non-Aligned Movement must take a more active role in shaping policies and priorities related to global stability and development. "Together, we represent more than half of the world's population and an absolute majority within the United Nations," she said.
The Prime Minister also identified climate change, food insecurity, energy crises, inequality, high levels of indebtedness, and the difficulties facing the multilateral system as among the key challenges requiring greater collective action. "Faced with this reality, it is imperative to strengthen dialogue among nations, revitalise multilateralism, and reinforce international cooperation," she stated.
The government also reaffirmed Mozambique's commitment to the promotion of peace, solidarity among peoples, sustainable development, and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter and International Law.
The Non-Aligned Movement comprises 120 countries: 53 African, 39 Asian, 26 from Latin America and the Caribbean, and two European.
