Bharat Summit: Japan party leader calls for global cooperation to tackle inequality

Hyderabad, Nov 14 (UNI) Junya Ogawa, President of Japan's Democratic Reform Party, on Saturday called for stronger international cooperation to tackle economic inequality, revive democracy and ensure that the benefits of prosperity reach wider sections of society.
Addressing the valedictory session of the Second Bharat Summit 2026 at HICC, Ogawa said democracy was facing serious challenges from rising nationalism, xenophobia and extremist politics. He stressed that merely criticising populism would not address its root causes, and urged governments to focus on people's everyday concerns, including livelihoods, education, healthcare and rising living costs.
He said the declining security of the middle class and the concentration of wealth among a few were undermining public trust in political systems. Calling for fair taxation, cross-border redistribution and greater investment in education, vocational training and healthcare, he proposed the concept of “redistribution without war” to achieve social justice through democracy, dialogue and consensus.
Ogawa said challenges such as climate change, poverty and widening inequality required international solutions, as no country could prosper in isolation. He urged world leaders to prioritise cooperation over hegemony and inclusion over division, and called for reforming the international order through dialogue rather than conflict.
He urged progressive leaders to work together to defend democracy, restore public hope and build a fairer world.
