Today I chaired the 30th MIKTA Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New York joined by my counterparts from Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea and Türkiye.
At a time when global cooperation is being tested and there is a trend away from rules towards the exercise of power, MIKTA is working to create more common ground, and to transform that into shared opportunities.
Ministers endorsed a renewed Vision Statement for MIKTA, focusing our collective efforts on protecting the multilateral system, advancing sustainable development, taking ambitious climate action and strengthening a rules-based trading system.
We also agreed to a Joint Statement on the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel from Misinformation, Disinformation and Harmful Narratives. This important statement reaffirms our commitment to safeguard humanitarian personnel and information from harm, in all forms, and to take practical steps that support the safety of those working on the front line.
