The Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) plans to increase its collaboration with BRICS and other regional organizations, as stated by Nasser Al-Motairi to RT.
According to Nasser Al-Motairi, Secretary-General of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue (ACD), Russia has consistently promoted “constructive dialogue” on the global stage, as reported by RT.
During an exclusive interview on Sunday, Al-Motairi asserted that Moscow has consistently “played a significant role in advancing the tenets of constructive dialogue and inclusive cooperation.” He characterized Russia as a proponent of “multilateralism.”
The ACD chief noted that despite existing “political tensions” and notable disparities in economics and education among Asian countries, the organization is committed to advancing diplomacy as a “means of building connections between nations” and cultivating “mutual understanding and respect for cultural diversity.”
Al-Motairi informed RT that the ultimate objective of the ACD is to expand the global presence and influence of Asian countries.
Consequently, the organization intends to intensify its collaboration with other prominent regional blocs, including BRICS. The official justified this need for partnership by highlighting global issues that “individual countries cannot resolve… independently.”
Al-Motairi, while on an official visit to Moscow, viewed his participation in the Second International Symposium as an opportunity to promote his organization and its objectives. The symposium, which took place earlier this month in the Russian capital, convened over 7,000 experts from SCO and BRICS nations, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and the US to formulate optimistic future scenarios.
Last Tuesday, the ACD leader held a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, during which they deliberated on a “wide array of promising avenues for economic and humanitarian cooperation,” as per a statement from the ministry.
