We come together at a time of profound global transformation. The escalating pace and scale of global change are reshaping our present and will define our collective future.
We are concerned by growing polarisation, the spread of conflict, violations of international law and the increasing resort to power politics, protectionism, coercion and the threat or use of force. These trends are a threat to international peace and security and harm global cooperation precisely when it is needed more than ever.
We recognize that rising inequalities within and among countries pose challenges to stability, social cohesion and inclusive growth and must be addressed by joint efforts, including through initiatives such as the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty and the International Panel on Inequality.
We commit to strengthening multilateral cooperation that is open, fair, equitable, inclusive, networked and practical, including through closer partnerships with regional organisations and support for regional integration.
