Mexico,
Aug
10:
In
order
to
prevent
wars
and
trade
wars,
Mexican
President
Andrés
Manuel
López
Obrador
is
planning
to
submit
a
written
proposal
to
the
UN
to
create
a
commission,
made
up
of
three
world
leaders,
including
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi.

According
to
a
report
on
MSN,
the
proposal
is
to
promote
a
five-year
world
truce
without
war
or
trade
wars.
“I
will
make
the
proposal
in
writing,
I
will
present
it
to
the
UN.
I
have
been
saying
it
and
I
hope
the
media
will
help
us
to
spread
it.
Because
they
do
not
speak
when
it
is
not
convenient
for
them,”
the
website
quoted
Obrador
as
saying
during
a
press
conference.

The
top
commission
should
include
Pope
Francis,
the
UN
Secretary-General,
Antonio
Guterres,
and
Indian
PM
Narendra
Modi,
the
Mexican
President
said.

“The
three
of
them
meet
and
soon
present
a
proposal
to
stop
the
war
everywhere,
and
reach
an
agreement
to
seek
a
truce
of
at
least
five
years,
so
that
governments
around
the
world
dedicate
themselves
to
support
their
peoples,
especially
the
people
who
are
suffering
the
most
from
the
war
and
its
effects;
that
we
have
five
years
without
tension,
without
violence
and
with
peace,”
he
said.

Calling
for
an
end
to
warlike
actions,
the
Mexican
President
has
invited
China,
Russia
and
the
United
States,
to
seek
peace
and
hoped
the
three
countries
“will
listen
and
accept
an
intermediation
such
as
the
one
we
are
proposing”.

“Tell
them,
by
their
confrontations,
in
nothing
more
than
a
year,
they
have
caused
this.
They
have
precipitated
the
world
economic
crisis,
they
have
increased
inflation
and
caused
food
shortages,
more
poverty
and,
worst
of
all,
in
one
year,
because
of
the
confrontations,
so
many
human
beings
have
lost
their
lives.
That
is
a
paragraph.
That’s
what
they
have
done
in
one
year,”
MSN
quoted
him.

According
to
Obrador,
the
proposed
truce
would
facilitate
“reaching
agreements
in
the
case
of
Taiwan,
Israel
and
Palestine,
and
not
be
promoting,
provoking
more
confrontation”.

Furthermore,
he
urged
that
all
the
governments
around
the
world
should
join
in
support
of
the
UN
and
not
the
bureaucratic
mechanism
in
which
proposals
and
initiatives
are
presented.
