UN General Assembly
2014

It is a great honour for me to address the General Assembly today on behalf of the Romanian delegation. At the outset, allow me to congratulate the Honourable Sam Kutesa on his election as President of the General Assembly at its sixty-ninth session and to assure him of the full support of the Romanian delegation in fulfilling his high responsibility and functions. (spoke in French) As this is the first time I have had the honour to participate in this high-level debate, let me reaffirm my country’s peaceful mission as a promoter of peace and international security, the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. The report of the Secretary-General on the work of the Organization (A/69/1) over the past year again confirms that cooperation among Member States, based on the principles of the United Nations and in a spirit of solidarity, can meet the current challenges of our peoples. I would like to address some issues of interest to my country in regard to developments in international relations. Since the General Assembly’s general debate
