ISLAMABAD, March 22 (TNS): United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres Tuesday while noting the close relationship between the UN and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said that it was more urgent than ever for them to accelerate cooperation and devise common strategies to face the abounding challenges. <\/p>\n
\u201cToday, the imperative to join forces, devise common strategies, and draw on our comparative advantages is more urgent than ever. In my recent report on Our Common Agenda, I have offered proposals \u2013 guided by the beacon of the Charter \u2013 to update global governance, better manage risks and threats, and build the safer, more resilient, and inclusive world set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,\u201d the UN secretary general said in a video message during the 48th inaugural session of OIC-Council of Foreign Ministers.<\/p>\n
He said the United Nations and the OIC enjoyed a close, decades-long relationship rooted in trust and based on the shared belief in the values of multilateral cooperation, dialogue, and solidarity.<\/p>\n
Guterres underlines close cooperation, strategies in face of abounding challenges
\nAcross Asia, the Middle East, Africa and beyond, he said the two organizations had worked together to nurture a culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding.<\/p>\n
In recent years, they have successfully deepened their collaboration on key areas of mutual concern \u2013 including mediation, countering terrorism, preventing violent extremism, combatting anti-Muslim hatred, and promoting religious tolerance, he added. \u201cOnly together, in unity with partners at all levels, we can confront shared challenges and create a better future for all,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n The UN secretary general further said that challenges abound \u2013 from the war in Ukraine and its global ramifications, to growing inequalities and proliferating assaults on human rights.<\/p>\n \u201cDeveloping countries in particular face crises on so many fronts. Vaccine inequity is blocking recovery. Poverty is deepening, as countries are paralyzed by debt and liquidity issues. We must reform a morally bankrupt global financial system,\u201d he opined.<\/p>\n
