UN General Assembly
2023

We believe in the rule of law. and we hope that respect for that principle guides us through the types of conflicts we see today. International cooperation is needed now. more than ever. Building resilience at the national level can take us only so far. Samoa is confident that despite all the challenges — and even existential threats, for some of us — there is still hope if there is unity among our United Nations family. We have a moral obligation to change our world for the better and leave hope for our future generations. In conclusion, let me reaffirm Samoa’s commitment to the United Nations and our conviction that it remains the foremost forum to address all issues that transcend national boundaries. We reiterate our call to the United Nations, through its multiplicity of agencies, to better understand our unique cultures, respect our diversity and embrace our differences in order to help build the future we want through mutual and sustainable partnerships.
