A just world order does not require countries to think alike, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov told the SCO Plus meeting in Bishkek.
Instead, Japarov said states should respect one anotherโs choices, honor their commitments and keep talking even during the most difficult periods. Representatives from 18 countries and seven international organizations are attending the meeting.
The president also set out different responsibilities for large and small countries. He said powerful states should use their capabilities responsibly, while smaller countries should be confident that their voices will be heard.
Japarov said Kyrgyzstan supports a multipolar world that is built for the benefit of all and is not directed against anyone.
A just world order does not require all states to think alike. It requires something else: that we respect each otherโs choices, fulfill our commitments, and maintain dialogue even in the most difficult times.
