UN General Assembly
2014

Last year I warned against the expansion of violence and extremism. This year too I warn that if the right approach is not taken in dealing with the issue at hand, we will get closer to having a turbulent and tumultuous region with repercussions for the whole world. The right solution to that quandary comes from within the region, not from outside, and must be a regionally provided solution with international support. In the Holy Koran, God the Almighty has promised those who have believed and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession to authority upon the Earth and that their fears will turn into peace and security. It is my sincerest hope that our generation will endeavour to leave a more secure and developed Earth as its legacy for the next generation. I wish all present much success and many blessings.
