Doha: HE French Minister Delegate for Francophonie, International Partnerships, and French Nationals Abroad, Eleonore Caroit, called for a focus on multilateral partnerships to achieve social development, moving away from unilateral actions that fail to achieve the desired goals.

She emphasized that lasting peace can only be built on sustained justice.
