United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Friday the world was facing the risks of conflict as divisions between nations widen, speaking ahead of a G20 leaders summit.
“If we are indeed one global family — we today resemble a rather dysfunctional one”, Guterres told reporters in New Delhi. “Divisions are growing, tensions are flaring up, and trust is eroding – which together raise the spectre of fragmentation, and ultimately, confrontation.”
