Addressing leaders of the bloc on Saturday in India, Tinubu said the country will play a vital role among the countries in shaping a “more equitable world”.
The president said the challenges confronting the world cannot be addressed without multilateral cooperation.
“Stronger collaboration, cooperation, and partnerships among diverse regions are the pathways to a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable future for our world,” Anjuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, quoted him as saying.
Tinubu said the G-20 has a key role in shaping a new world order that is fair and rules-based.
He added that a world divided by “staggering income inequalities and uneven access to basic social goods” by the majority, cannot result in a peaceful and secure world.
Tinubu also said in the true spirit of mutual respect and sustainable development, rules and global governance structures touching on “collective dreams” must be collectively designed, owned, and managed.
