Channels of communication must remain open if the world wants to achieve peace and stability, Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said at the World Economic Forum’s Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development.

Taking to ‘X’, Minister Sabry revealed he was part of the panel on North to South, East to West: Rebuilding Trust during the two-day special meeting of the World Economic Forum. 

“During the discussion, I emphasized that to rebuild trust between the global north and south, the global north must walk the talk. Peace and stability lead to development & prosperity and competing powers must keep the channels of communication open,” Minister Sabry said. 

Minister Ali Sabry spoke alongside the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan, Qian Liu from The Economist Group, President of the World Economic Forum Børge Brende, and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission Josep Borrell Fontelles.
