UNITED NATIONS (Xinhua): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday (Oct 21)expressed concern about intensified geopolitical competition in Southeast Asia and beyond, which, he said, has led to a deepening of global divisions with the risk of miscalculation, confrontation or even a new Cold War.
Speaking at an annual ministerial meeting between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and the United Nations, Guterres welcomed Asean members' support of his appeal for a global cease-fire and looked forward to their further advocacy to help end hostilities around the world, including ongoing conflicts within the ASEAN region.
