Brazil, EU, Canada, Kenya launch multilateralism initiative ahead of UNGA

On the eve of the UN General Assembly, leaders of Brazil, the EU, Canada, and Kenya published a joint manifesto in the Financial Times defending multilateralism. The initiative signals a coordinated push by middle powers to strengthen international cooperation, likely in response to rising unilateralism and geopolitical fragmentation. The manifesto's specific policy proposals remain unclear, but its timing suggests an effort to shape the UNGA agenda.
