"At the global level, NAM must sustain efforts of reforming governance, not only in the economic field, but also and especially in the security field. This means overhauling the UN Security Council, so that it reflects the reality of the world today, in which emerging powers have so much more to contribute to global peace and security," said the president.
The president added that the UN and other international organizations must adjust themselves with the new world order and give the new emerging power countries a chance to contribute to global security.
President Yudhoyono opens the 16th Non Aligned Movement`s Ministerial Meeting in Nusa Dua, Bali province, on Wednesday at 9 AM. On the occasion, the president is accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa, Egypt`s Foreign Minister Nabil Al-Araby and the UN`s President of the 65th General Assembly Joseph Deiss.
