What is another word for multilateral?
Pronunciation: [mˌʌltɪlˈatəɹə͡l] (IPA) 
Multilateral is a term that is frequently used in the field of international relations and diplomacy, and refers to cooperation between three or more parties. Synonyms for multilateral include collaborative, joint, collective, coordinated, and united. Other related terms include bilateral (involving two parties), trilateral (involving three parties), and quadrilateral (involving four parties). Multilateral agreements and treaties are often seen as more effective than bilateral ones because they involve a greater number of participants and perspectives. Multilateralism is also important in fields such as trade and economics, where agreements such as the World Trade Organization aim to promote fair and open competition between multiple nations.
