Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today urged Asian nations to work together to address shared challenges and unlock new opportunities for prosperity.
“As we look to the future, I believe, Asian nations can work together even more closely to address shared challenges and unlock new opportunities for prosperity,” he said while delivering his keynote speech at the inaugural session of the ‘Nikkei Forum: 30th Future of Asia’ here this morning.
“We need to build a clear path toward a shared future and shared prosperity,” he said, presenting seven suggestions to reach the goal.
Stressing the need for converting Asia’s interdependence into cooperation, Prof Yunus said Asia’s diversity—of economies, cultures, and political systems—is both its strength and its test.
“Our fates are increasingly intertwined. A supply chain disruption in one country ripples across borders.”
He said environmental degradation in one part of Asia affects rainfall patterns in another while political instability in one region impacts global energy and trade flows.
“Our job is to convert this interdependency into cooperation, not conflict; to invest in shared prosperity, not zero-sum rivalries,” the Chief Adviser said. বিস্তারিত
