KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today stressed the need for greater accountability among international bodies and global institutions as they confront mounting difficulties in addressing transnational issues.
Anwar's remarks reflect growing concerns among developing nations about the responsiveness and effectiveness of existing global governance frameworks in tackling contemporary crises ranging from economic instability to climate change and security threats.
The Prime Minister's appeal aligns with Malaysia's broader advocacy for more inclusive and transparent decision-making processes within international organisations, emphasising that accountability mechanisms must be strengthened to ensure equitable representation of member states.
His statement comes amid ongoing discussions on reforming multilateral institutions to better reflect the concerns and interests of nations across the Global South, which have increasingly called for a rebalancing of power dynamics in international affairs.
