Alongside
"Mr. Miliband said that alongside work to forge an international framework, every country needed to take domestic action."
Isn't there missing somehting in the sentence? Or does 'alongside' have some other meaning? I feel something like 'in order for' could be placed before alongside.
What do you think?
