Why today's global governance system needs reform The global governance system is under growing pressure, according to Li Qing, president of the Guangdong Institute for International Strategies. In this video, she explains how power imbalances, new challenges such as AI and the digital economy, and weakening agreement between the Global North and South are straining international institutions. Li argues that these tensions, along with deep inequalities within and between countries, show why the global system needs meaningful reform.

Indonesia aims to continue its commitment to position itself as a bridge between the Global North and the Global South. As my esteemed friend, Ray Dalio, noted, Indonesia is a nation of great potential, waiting for its great transformation. To realize this potential, we must take on a greater role in strengthening our efforts to foster cooperation and ensure global stability while actively contributing to boosting economic growth in our country and region.

I think this video I stumbled across best illustrates my previous tweet about the difference in war consciousness between Global North and Global South. One culture is rooted in scarcity and individualism, while the other is rooted in abundance and communalism. One understood the situation as one that required a wartime decision. The other saw it as one that required a family decision. Guess which one has been losing for 500 years and why?

Is climate change the same as global warming? Not quite. The warming of Earth — or global warming — is just one factor that makes up a range of changes that are happening to our planet, which is climate change. And we're studying all of it:

#WATCH | Raisina Dialogue 2026 | EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "... When Covid happened, the fact that a country like India, which was still undergoing its vaccination, was willing to send out vaccines to countries of the global south. Means global south is for real because it meant something for us. So there is an emotion, and I would argue to some degree a culture, where the global West is concerned. So the global south emanates from shared historical experiences... I think Global West was probably a more unified term, very cultural, very political, very strategic, till recently. Now there is a differentiation in the global west..."

Moderator: Do you think countries in the Global North will reform and hand over power to the Global South? Dr. Jaishankar: We have to keep trying no matter how difficult it is. Those who don't want change want us to give up and get exhausted. That is a trap.

SFC Markets and Finance | The G20 Summit will be held in South Africa this year, marking the event's inaugural hosting on the African continent, which highlights Africa's importance in the global economy. Recently, Nonkululeko Nyembezi, the B20 Co-chair, Chairman of Standard Bank Group, emphasized that South Africa's presidency of the G20 is significant both for Africa and the Global South as a whole, allowing the region to actively shape global governance rather than passively accept decisions. Complementary to the G20 mechanism, the Business 20 (B20) is a vital platform for the international business community to submit policy recommendations to the G20 Summit.

Global South ties shape China's place in the world China stands with fellow members of the Global South because their stories are linked, according to Zhou Yongmei, Professor of Practice in Institutional Development at Peking University's Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development. These ties run deep. Even as its economy grows, China keeps strong links with countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. For China, being part of the Global South means working together for fair rules and shared goals on the global stage. Zhou says China will continue to stand with fellow developing countries in promoting a fair and equitable global governance system.

Socialist Democrat Melat Kiros says America will stop exploiting the world if enough immigrants from the "global south" get into elected office "There's a certain reckoning that we are going to have to have with the global world order as it exists today and the way that it fundamentally will have to shift going forward. The responsibility that we have as Americans, the recognition that is going to be required of us -- of the exploitative and extractive nature that we play on the global scale and the global stage is only going to be challenged if we are getting represented by people who understand that on a fundamental level. And that means getting more immigrants into office. That means getting more people who have heritage in the global south into office."

Glad for the transformation of 🇲🇦Casablanca Finance City #CFC into one of the leading world financial centers, being a kind of an 🏦 African Wall Street that attracts entrepreneurs and multinationals looking for a springboard to #Africa. With its modern infrastructure and gleaming buildings, it acts as a bridge between the North and the South and plays a vital role in enhancing investments in our continent, deemed as the next relay for global growth.

Our geo-strategic importance is our greatest strength. ⚡

$Tedros: "We live in a world of multiple overlapping global crises, requiring a global response." "Now more than ever, our fractured world needs a common cause to bring it together, and health can be that common cause." This is the playbook: Manufacture a series of global "crises" (financial crises, wars, "pandemics", the "climate crisis", the migrant crisis, food and energy shortages, etc) for which technocratic global governance (and thus the erosion of civil liberties, privacy, national sovereignty, etc) can be offered as the only "solution". Don't fall for it.$
