UN General Assembly
2025

You're a part of all of that. They were champions for their people who never gave up and who never ever gave in. Their values defined our national identities. Their visions forged our magnificent destiny. Everybody in this room is a part of it in your own way. Each of us inherits the deeds and the myths, the triumphs, the legacies of our own heroes and founders who so bravely showed us the way our ancestors gave everything for homelands that they defended with pride, with pride, with sweat, with blood, with life and with death. Now the righteous task of protecting the nations that they built belongs to each and every one of us. So together let us uphold our sacred duty to our people and to our citizens. Let us protect their borders, ensure their safety, preserve their cultures, treasure and traditions and fight, fight, fight for their precious dreams and their cherished freedoms and in friendship and really a beautiful vision.
