multilaterally
With multiple parties
Multilaterally describes actions or agreements involving three or more parties, typically nations or organizations, working together toward a common goal.
It contrasts with bilaterally (two parties) and unilaterally (one party acting alone).
The treaty was negotiated multilaterally among all member states.
The term appears most often in diplomatic and trade contexts, where cooperation across multiple governments is required.
