UN General Assembly
2023

The world is facing complex and interrelated issues, ranging from climate change and infectious diseases to challenges to the rule of law. Now. at a time when international cooperation is needed more than ever, we cannot overcome those difficulties if the international community remains divided over ideologies or values. That is why I believe we should go back to the very basic foundation of treating human life and dignity with paramount importance. We should aim for a world caring for human dignity, where vulnerable people can live safely and securely.
