UN General Assembly
2020

Guided by these principles, the Government of Nepal is firmly committed to safeguarding Nepal’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and maintaining friendly relations with its neighbours and all other countries in the world. We support an inclusive and fair international order founded on equality, mutual respect and justice. As a believer in regional economic cooperation, we are playing our due role under the frameworks of SAARC, BIMSTEC and ACD. Mr. President, The United Nations has an unparalleled scope, legitimacy and normative impact. Nepal reposes enduring faith in multilateralism with United Nations at the centre. We underline the need to reform the UN Security Council to make it more representative, transparent, democratic, and accountable. The principle of sovereign equality must remain at the core of all reform initiatives. We also underscore the importance of the ongoing processes of GA Revitalization and Review of Peacebuilding Architecture. Reform must aim at making the UN more efficient, effective and transparent that complement national efforts to bringing positive change in peoples’ lives thereby ensuring equal dignity of all peoples.
