UN General Assembly
2025

Second, I wish to say that for Andorra, it is a privilege to serve as one of the Vice Presidencies of this symbolic session. This year's theme, Better Together, 80 Years and More for Peace, Development and Human Rights, is a theme that really speaks to us. And not just as a declaration of intentions, but as an urgent need. We live in difficult times, times of conflict, polarisation and uncertainty. However, these are also times of opportunity to strengthen international cooperation, to update the institutions that support it and to build lasting solutions collectively through multilateralism. Eight decades of diplomacy, peace building, development aid and the promotion of human rights. In this context, Andorra also celebrates 32 years as a member state of the UN. Of course, this is a shorter history here than many, but it has been an intense one as well, during which multilateralism has been fundamental to our international recognition, to making our voice heard abroad, to our legal security and to our economic and social progress.
