Kishore Mahbubani

The day after the G-20 Hangzhou Summit in China, I read an article in the Jakarta Post. "The G-20 needs a kick in the butt" was its title. The author, the veteran Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani, was asking G-20 countries to leave their 19th century-esque national trenches, finally arrive in the 21st century and start thinking globally.

BELGRADE - Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic on Monday received Kishore Mahbubani, one of the most influential Singaporean foreign relations experts and a notable diplomat.

Dacic and Mahbubani exchanged views on global issues and challenges as well as on ways of improving regional and global peace and security.
