President Kais Saied said there is no place in the future for relations based on the principle of big and small and strong and weak.
‘What kind of pact are we talking about? Can we build a new financial system with the same standards and principles that led to the death of children from hunger and disease, the spread of diseases and epidemics, poverty, water shortages and desertification?’ he asked.
The President was speaking at a roundtable on “Debt and SDR channelling: where do we stand and how to move forward?” attended by the President of Chad, the Prime Minister of Rwanda and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and moderated by the Deputy Prime Minister of Spain.
President Saied said: “We cannot build a new financial system based on outdated balances, agreements and principles that widen the gap between the North and the South, which is still suffering from poverty and weakness. He added: “We cannot reach new agreements without clarifying who is responsible for global warming and who is responsible for hunger and pandemics that claim the lives of innocent people.’
The Head of State called for a true partnership in building a new world for the benefit of all humanity, within the framework of justice and equity at the international level, in order to achieve justice and freedom and to build a new world order based on equality between the North and the South.
