Speech by H.E. President Macky Sall at the Plenary Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear colleagues,<\/strong>
Honorable Mother Moon,<\/strong>
Dr. Charles Yang, President of the Universal Peace Federation,<\/strong>
Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, I would like to thank you, Honorable Mother Moon and Dr. Charles Yang, for your kind invitation and warm welcome.
It is a pleasure to take part in this summit of the Universal Peace Federation, the second one I have attended after hosting the first African Summit of the UPF in Dakar in January 2018.
I also have fond memories of the Sunhak Peace Prize that your organization graciously awarded me in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That prize reflects our shared commitment to building a better world a peaceful, more just, and more united one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it must be said that the global context is worrying. Deadly conflicts, terrorism, and violent extremism persist. Climate change is worsening. Amid an unprecedented social and economic crisis, poverty is increasing and inequalities are deepening. We are experiencing major geopolitical upheavals whose consequences remain unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these numerous and complex challenges, we must keep faith in peace and in a better future for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace, as we know, is not just the absence of war. It is also built through dialogue, tolerance and mutual respect, justice, and solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To establish lasting global peace, there is no better approach than conflict prevention and inclusive management whether for latent or open conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for me, I have always believed that in the face of global security threats, the Security Council as the guarantor of collective security under the United Nations Charter must play a more decisive role. This requires stronger mandates where needed, enhanced means of action, and greater support for regional mechanisms, particularly in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major challenge of our time is revitalizing multilateralism for a fairer and more equitable global governance system.
International institutions created in the post-war context must evolve to better reflect 21st-century realities. That is why we advocate for reform of the Security Council and for fairer representation in international economic and financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this spirit, Africa\u2019s admission as a member of the G20 following Senegal\u2019s advocacy during its chairmanship of the African Union and the granting of a third seat for the continent on the IMF Board are two major steps forward in global governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reform of the multilateral system is not only desirable; it is imperative to preserve its legitimacy and prevent its weakening, or even fragmentation, in the face of the rise of alternative frameworks, as seen with the growth of the BRICS Plus and the Global South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, there is an urgent need to reform international financial system mechanisms, including credit rating methods. Rating agencies should rely on more objective and transparent criteria, to more accurately reflect the economic realities of developing countries.
Many studies have indeed shown that rating agencies tend to overstate risk perceptions in these countries, which leads to excessively high borrowing costs, limits investment capacity, and unfairly increases debt burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why, under the leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo, a group of former African Heads of State and Government, including myself, recently launched the African Debt Relief Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major challenge is the climate issue, which demands urgent, united, and ambitious mobilization for inclusive, fair, and sustainable solutions. We will have an opportunity to return to this subject during tomorrow\u2019s session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, I would like to express the willingness of my Foundation to work with all those of good will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, let us strive to ease tensions, protect our planet, reduce the persistent inequalities between North and South, and restore full meaning to multilateralism. I wish our summit every success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Mes chers coll\u00e8gues, <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorable mother Moon, <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Charles Yang, Pr\u00e9sident de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration pour la Paix Universelle, <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mesdames, Messieurs, <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je tiens tout d\u2019abord \u00e0 vous remercier, honorable Mother Moon et Dr Charles Yang, pour votre aimable invitation et votre accueil convivial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est un plaisir de prendre part \u00e0 ce sommet de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration pour la Paix Universelle, le deuxi\u00e8me auquel j\u2019assiste apr\u00e8s avoir accueilli, en janvier 2018 \u00e0 Dakar, le premier sommet africain de la FPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je garde \u00e9galement un excellent souvenir du Prix Sunhak pour la paix que votre organisation a bien voulu me d\u00e9cerner en 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce Prix incarne notre engagement commun de contribuer \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9dification d\u2019un monde meilleur, un monde pacifique, plus juste et plus solidaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais il faut avouer que le contexte mondial est inqui\u00e9tant. Les conflits meurtriers, le terrorisme et l\u2019extr\u00e9misme violent persistent. Le r\u00e9chauffement climatique s\u2019aggrave. Avec une crise \u00e9conomique sociale in\u00e9dite, la pauvret\u00e9 s\u2019accroit et les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s se creusent. Nous vivons des bouleversements g\u00e9opolitiques majeurs, dont les cons\u00e9quences restent impr\u00e9visibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malgr\u00e9 ces d\u00e9fis multiples et complexes, nous voulons garder foi en la paix et en un avenir meilleur pour tous.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La paix, nous le savons, ne se limite pas \u00e0 l\u2019absence de guerre. Elle se construit aussi dans le dialogue, dans la tol\u00e9rance et le respect mutuel, dans la justice et la solidarit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et pour instaurer une paix globale et durable, il n\u2019y a pas mieux que la pr\u00e9vention et l\u2019inclusion dans la gestion des conflits, latents ou ouverts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour ma part, j\u2019ai toujours consid\u00e9r\u00e9 que face aux menaces s\u00e9curitaires globales, le Conseil de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, garant du m\u00e9canisme de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 collective selon la Charte des Nations unies, devrait jouer un r\u00f4le plus d\u00e9cisif. Cela implique des mandats plus robustes l\u00e0 o\u00f9 c\u2019est n\u00e9cessaire, des moyens d\u2019action renforc\u00e9s, et un soutien accru aux m\u00e9canismes r\u00e9gionaux, notamment en Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un autre d\u00e9fi de notre temps est de revitaliser le multilat\u00e9ralisme pour une gouvernance mondiale plus juste et plus \u00e9quitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les institutions internationales con\u00e7ues dans le contexte de l\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre doivent \u00e9voluer pour mieux refl\u00e9ter les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s du 21e<\/sup> si\u00e8cle. C\u2019est pourquoi nous plaidons pour la r\u00e9forme du Conseil de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et une repr\u00e9sentation plus \u00e9quitable dans les institutions \u00e9conomiques et financi\u00e8res internationales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans cet esprit, l\u2019admission de l\u2019Afrique comme membre du G20 suite au plaidoyer du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal lors de notre pr\u00e9sidence en exercice de l\u2019Union africaine, et l\u2019octroi au continent d\u2019un 3e<\/sup> si\u00e8ge au conseil d\u2019administration du FMI constituent deux avanc\u00e9es majeures dans la gouvernance mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La r\u00e9forme du syst\u00e8me multilat\u00e9ral n\u2019est pas seulement souhaitable ; elle est imp\u00e9rative pour pr\u00e9server sa l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 et \u00e9viter son affaiblissement, voire sa fragmentation, face \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9mergence de solutions alternatives, comme en t\u00e9moigne l\u2019essor des BRICS Plus<\/em><\/strong> et du Sud global<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En outre, il est urgent de r\u00e9former les m\u00e9canismes du syst\u00e8me financier international, y compris les m\u00e9thodes de notation des agences d\u2019\u00e9valuation. Les agences devraient s\u2019appuyer sur des crit\u00e8res plus objectifs et plus transparents, pour refl\u00e9ter au mieux la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des \u00e9conomies des pays en d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De nombreuses \u00e9tudes ont en effet d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que les agences de notation ont tendance \u00e0 surestimer la perception du risque dans ces pays, ce qui entraine un rench\u00e9rissement excessif du co\u00fbt du cr\u00e9dit pour ces pays, limite leurs capacit\u00e9s d\u2019investissement et alourdit injustement le fardeau de leur dette.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est pourquoi, sous la conduite du Pr\u00e9sident Olusegun Obasanjo, un groupe d\u2019ancien Chefs d\u2019Etat et de gouvernement africains, dont moi-m\u00eame, a r\u00e9cemment lanc\u00e9 l\u2019Initiative pour l\u2019all\u00e8gement de la dette africaine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autre d\u00e9fi majeur : la question climatique qui exige une mobilisation urgente, solidaire et ambitieuse pour des solutions inclusives, \u00e9quitables et durables. Nous aurons l\u2019occasion d\u2019y revenir lors de la session de demain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je voudrais pour conclure, exprimer la disponibilit\u00e9 de ma Fondation \u00e0 travailler avec toutes les bonnes volont\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensemble, \u0153uvrons \u00e0 apaiser les tensions, \u00e0 pr\u00e9server notre plan\u00e8te, \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s persistantes entre le Nord et le Sud, et \u00e0 redonner tout son sens au multilat\u00e9ralisme. Je souhaite plein succ\u00e8s \u00e0 notre sommet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je vous remercie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
