He said this while delivering a speech at the opening day session of ‘Global South Media and Think Tank Forum 2025’ held in Kunming China. Under the theme “Empowering Global South, Navigating Global Changes,” the forum was held on September 6, 2025.

In his speech themed “Strengthening Unity and Building Consensus: The Voice of the Global South for Peace”, Dr. Al-Shafi said that the “conference is a valuable opportunity” to exchange ideas and explore visions regarding the future of the Voice of the Global South.

“We are in need of strengthening unity and building consensus among nations to achieve peace. We must work together to foster mutual understanding and respect, rejecting all forms of violence and discrimination. Let us unite as one voice for peace and harmony across the world,” he noted.
