On May 30, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the signing ceremony for the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This new mediation body promises to offer a voluntary and effective avenue for resolving international disputes.
Designed with a forward-looking vision, the IOMed headquarters marks a significant step for Global South nations, aiming to enhance peaceful conflict resolution and legal cooperation worldwide. As noted in CGTN's report by Zhu Dan from Hong Kong, this initiative signals a refreshing shift in international mediation practices.
With the world facing increasingly complex challenges, the launch of IOMed is seen as a pivotal milestone in promoting open dialogue and innovative dispute resolution methods 🤝. This development is set to inspire not only policy makers and legal experts but also young people, professionals, and culture enthusiasts looking for positive global change.
