Ambassador Jestas Abuok Nyamanga was among the speakers in an informal but intensive exchange involving Members of the European Parliament, Diplomats and Academics in Brussels on 14th October 2026. He participated in his national capacity as well as in his role as Chair of the Group of African Ambassadors in Brussels (GAAB). The discussion focused on the need to uphold the principles of sovereign equality, fairness, inclusivity, respect for international law and multilateralism, while addressing the growing influence of powerful nations in shaping global decisions, often at the expense of smaller and developing countries. The meeting underscored concerns over inequalities in global decision-making, particularly where decisions affecting sovereign states are made without adequate consultation or a meaningful opportunity for the countries concerned to be heard. It called for a renewed commitment to a rules-based multilateral order in which no nation is above the rules, no country is too small to matter, and every nation has an equal voice in shaping our common future.
