Description
Summary:In our interconnected world, there are two pragmatic principles that are critical for nations – big or small – to survive and thrive. One is upholding the international rule of law. The other is building strong international relations, trust and friendships at all levels and across all sectors. This cross-country and cross-cultural relationship building is not just between governments, but also between individuals, groups and organisations. Indeed, making friends and strengthening people-to-people relations across borders build global communities. It lays the foundation for constructive collaboration and co-creation of solutions to enhance individual and societal well-being, and progress towards a better world.
