Meanwhile, the Global South continues to face systematic underrepresentation in institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, a governance deficit that perpetuates historical injustices and undermines legitimacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Didiza said that political diplomacy needed to be a catalyst for multilateral renewal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Parliamentary diplomacy is more than ceremonial protocol.
