President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Wednesday said the composition of the United Nations leadership should be reshaped to give more power to emerging nations.

Speaking during a Non-Aligned Movement conference in Bali, Yudhoyono in his opening address spoke about the need for international organizations to “adapt to the new global political and economic landscapes.”  

Yudhoyono also mentioned the importance of reforming global governance.

“This means overhauling the UN Security Council, so that it reflects the reality of the world today,” he said  A world where emerging powers have so much more to contribute to global peace and security,” he said.

He then added, “This also entails the revitalization of the General Assembly, where the NAM’s numerical superiority can be put to work, in the cause of peace and development.”

Yudhoyono said that members of the Non-Aligned Movement need to take “proactive measures” in ensuring global peace and security; political development, democracy and advancement of the good governance; and global prosperity.
