He further stated that countries should stop their trade conflicts and use the UN's framework to keep track of their relevant commitments. Speaking about the escalating tension in the Asia Pacific region since US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit, López Obrador opined that dialogue should take precedence over conflict.

"No to provocations, no to war. We do not want hegemonies in the world. It is not too much to ask the United States, Russia, and China to accept this proposal, which could be raised in the United Nations," López Obrador remarked. It should be mentioned here that his comments came after US Speaker Pelosi's recent visit to Taiwan, which prompted China to conduct massive military drills in the Asia Pacific, encircling Taiwan.
