A major political party has expressed support for a growing international grouping. The party wants the country's leader to leverage a current position of authority to boost relations with certain nations. This effort should involve taking concrete steps to back up expressions of unity.

The party has also raised concerns about how the country is perceived by other members of the grouping, particularly one that has faced attacks. Further details on this issue are available from the party's statement on the matter.

A statement was released by a senior party official, who is in charge of foreign affairs, regarding the party's stance on the issue.
