MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th December, 2018) The modern world is facing unprecedented challenges which cannot be solved by a single state on its own, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday during the keynote address at the Doha Forum, drawing special attention to the problem of trust lacking between people and authorities, as well as states on the global stage.
"We face enormous challenges that cannot be solved by any country on its own. Climate change, the defining challenge of our time, migration and refugees, people on the move everywhere, the multiplication of conflicts that are increasingly interlinked and which itself is linked to newer threats of global terrorism and international criminality," Guterres said.
He stressed that the world needed global responses to global challenges more than ever.
"The international cooperation is under fire.
This is the ultimate paradox of today's world ... I believe that behind this paradox there is a huge deficit of trust ... Our world is suffering from the bad case of trust deficit disorder. It is a deficit at many levels: trust between people and political institutions, trust among countries, trust in international organizations, namely the United Nations itself," Guterres said, adding that many attempted to benefit from that problem.
The two-day Doha Forum � a global platform for dialogue that brings together leaders in policy from around the world � concluded in the Qatari capital earlier on Sunday. A number of world's prominent politicians and ministers, including Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Japanese Prime Minister Taro Kono and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu took part in the event.
