UN General Assembly
2020

Getting through the current crisis does not mean returning to our old way of life. We need to step on a new paradigm by implementing long-term economic measures. The full implementation of the Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement and the Addis Ababa Action Plan are critical to preparing the world for future systemic shocks. The UN has no alternative in terms of the development of international law and multilateral cooperation. As a member state of the European Union, Bulgaria will champion a strong United Nations Organization as its main partner as a solid foundation of the rules-based multilateral order. In conclusion, I would like to refer to the appeals of two Nobel Peace Prize winners in 1994. In order to achieve the common goals, which have brought us together at this forum, we should use our imagination more than our memory. We need to leap beyond our own imagination to prevent the olive branch from falling out of our hands . THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT
