Hey global changemakers! 🌍 The United Nations just turned 80, and the big question is: how do we make global governance more inclusive and effective? A lively roundtable brought together journalists from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago with CGTN’s Zheng Chunying to dive into small states’ voices, partnerships between the Chinese mainland and Caribbean nations, and the path ahead for multilateral cooperation.
First up, the spotlight was on “small states” – countries like Jamaica and T&T that pack a punch in culture, creativity, and climate resilience. These voices are key to fresh ideas on trade, tech access, and more. Representation matters, whether you’re on a beach in the Caribbean or in a city in Southeast Asia. 🔊
Next, it’s all about partnerships. From renewable-energy tech hubs to cultural mashups, ties between the Chinese mainland and Caribbean are leveling up. Think sustainable ports, digital classrooms, and climate-smart farming. It’s a win-win recipe for growth and innovation. 🚢🌱💻
Finally, multilateral cooperation – aka countries teaming up to tackle big issues. Whether it’s pandemic response, closing the digital divide, or cutting emissions, collaboration is the name of the game. The goal? A UN that’s faster, fairer, and more flexible for every member.
As you scroll through your feeds, remember: global solutions need local voices. Keep these convos alive, support inclusive policies, and champion partnerships that uplift everyone – from Kingston to Kuala Lumpur. The future of the UN is in all our hands! ✌️
