UN General Assembly
2022

The topic of this year’s general debate alerts us to the importance of this moment and the relatedness of international challenges. The crises we are facing remind us of the importance of open communication. It does not take much wisdom to conclude that challenges can be successfully overcome only if their causes are properly identified. Serbia believes that it is imperative that current challenges not deepen world divisions in any way and that already obvious and intentional polarization at global levels should give way to principles of multilateralism. I would like to underline that the Republic of Serbia stands ready to take part in collective efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Peace. Serbia shares the Secretary-General’s vision of a future of global cooperation, as envisaged by Our Common Agenda (A/75/982), and it strongly supports inclusive, networked and efficient multilateralism as the best tool for responding to the most urgent challenges for humankind.
