Leaders and representatives from 120 member countries have gathered to address pressing global issues, including peace and security, economic development, and climate change. The NAM, representing nations that are not aligned with any major power bloc, plays a pivotal role in fostering dialogue and collaboration on the international stage.
Ambassador Ayebare highlighted the importance of unity and collective action in addressing the complex challenges facing the world. He emphasized the NAM’s commitment to upholding principles of equality, justice, and non-interference in the affairs of sovereign nations.
The summit’s agenda includes comprehensive discussions on regional and global issues, with a focus on finding common solutions to shared challenges. Delegates are expected to engage in substantive deliberations to strengthen the NAM’s role in promoting peace, security, and sustainable development.
Uganda’s hosting of the 19th NAM Summit is a testament to the country’s growing influence and diplomatic standing. The event is not only an opportunity for Uganda to showcase its commitment to global cooperation but also a platform for member states to forge stronger ties and partnerships.
According to Hon. John Mulimba, the State Minister for Foreign Affairs, the summit will provide a unique opportunity for Uganda to be at the center of global affairs as well as support and promote the interests of developing countries.
“The vision for Uganda will be a stronger and united NAM that contributes to a better and stronger world for all,” Mulimba said.
Mulimba said the choice of the two themes was based on the fact that some issues had emerged worldwide, which require the engagement of group members.
