A groundbreaking move for international peace! Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the signing ceremony for the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on May 30. This event marks the birth of a new mediation hub aimed at resolving disputes through dialogue instead of conflict. 🤝
The IOMed headquarters is set to open fresh avenues for voluntary dispute resolution, providing a platform that boosts legal cooperation and peaceful solutions. This development is seen as a significant step for Global South nations, empowering them to address conflicts with innovative and collaborative approaches.
