On behalf of Mexico, please accept our warmest congratulations. Sir. on your election as President. Latin America and the Caribbean feel wholly represented under your presidency, which is a sign of the commitment of our region to the aims of this Organization. Today the United Nations faces a challenge of huge proportions in order to fulfil the essence of its mandate: to protect humankind from the scourge of war. promote and uphold all human rights, ensure the effectiveness of international law and promote human well-being through environmental sustainability. I am deeply moved to return to the Headquarters of the United Nations, which I served with pride for decades, this time as the representative of the Government of my country. Mexico. It is a great honour. Today Mexico is going through a process of profound and forward-looking changes. I am honoured to speak on behalf of Mexico and to represent it at the global level. I deliver the greetings of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
