00:00We live in a multipolar world. Now we also have the rise of the global south. So the rules-based
00:11international order needs to be maintained, but we also have to make sure that it reflects the
00:18changes, the transformation that have taken place since we established the rules-based international
00:24order after one or two. I love the title of the panel, which is we look at the new geopolitical
00:32world over. Global south is going to be a key driver of that new order. And we're already
00:36seeing that, what's happening in the South China Sea. India is the fastest growing major
00:43economy right now. So it's important to have the dialogue around the trends and the cultural
00:53shifts, trend in the form of cultural shifts, technology shifts that are changing the western
00:57society. How will that also impact the global south and vice versa?
01:03For us it's really important to see development increase across the global south because for
01:08us it equates to a reduction in crime. So our role is to provide an anonymous reporting platform
01:14for people to provide tips essentially so we can provide it to law enforcement. So with
01:19development comes less crime. First, you know, we have to move towards more innovation. So you need
01:27to employ digital technology. And most of all, you know, we have to make sure that our growth is
01:34sustainable. Sustainable and that requires us to move towards a green economy. I also see like a lot of
01:44opportunities in setting up agriculture corridors between, you know, India, Thailand, Indonesia and
01:50Africa. And as Africa becomes one of the fastest growing continents in the world, and with the most
01:58population and the most young people, global south-south cooperation might actually drive the new world order.
02:05So that's how you can it be.
02:06That's how we can it be.
