UN General Assembly
2021

I congratulate the President on his election to the helm of the General Assembly, the most important policymaking body in the world. The future must be shaped by the best ideas, not the loudest voices, and by those who are committed to the purposes and principles of the Organization. Small States have always had an intrinsic understanding of that, and I am deeply convinced of the added value that States such as ours bring to the United Nations and to the work of the General Assembly in particular.
