A Symbol of Unity: World Public Assembly Highlights Africa’s Place in Global Cooperation
Sputnik Africa
At a time when multipolarity is no longer just an aspiration but gaining momentum, the first-ever World Public Assembly under the banner, “A New World of Conscious Unity,” has emerged as a historic platform uniting voices from Africa, Asia, Latin America and beyond, to demand genuine cooperation, equality, and shared responsibility.
Held at the World Trade Center in Moscow, the Assembly brought together delegates from more than 140 countries, including government officials, diplomats, academics, and civil society leaders. Across two days of discussions, the focus ranged from Africa's evolving role in global diplomacy to the expansion of BRICS, the strengthening of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the humanitarian challenges that demand collective solutions.

At a time when multipolarity is no longer just an aspiration but gaining momentum, the first-ever World Public Assembly under the banner, “A New World of Conscious Unity,” has emerged as a historic platform uniting voices from Africa, Asia, Latin America and beyond, to demand genuine cooperation, equality, and shared responsibility.
Held at the World Trade Center in Moscow, the Assembly brought together delegates from more than 140 countries, including government officials, diplomats, academics, and civil society leaders. Across two days of discussions, the focus ranged from Africa’s evolving role in global diplomacy to the expansion of BRICS, the strengthening of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the humanitarian challenges that demand collective solutions.
The gathering was not only about dialogue but also about symbolism. Twenty-five chefs from the World Restaurant Sports Federation unveiled a record-breaking two-meter-high cake in the shape of a Russian matryoshka doll — a dessert titled “The Assembly of the Peoples of the World.” It was the first attempt globally to create such a large-scale gluten-free masterpiece, symbolizing the unity and diversity of cultures represented in Moscow.
This exclusive episode of Global South Pole brings you the voices and insights from key figures who shaped the Assembly’s message: Africa is not waiting to be invited into global conversations; it is already a central force in building a fairer and more balanced world order.
