Dear colleagues, friends and guests,
As President of the General Assembly, I have the obligation -but also the conviction- of pointing out that multilateralism does not represent, in any sense, a threat for sovereignty or to national interests.
On the contrary, multilateralism offers the opportunity, to each sovereign State, of solving complex challenges that no country could ever overcome on its own.
Therefore, let there be no doubt: multilateralism is not only the most efficient platform to build and maintain peace and sustainable development: it is the only possible way. The unilateral actions of the strongest can never be effective, much less sustainable.
~ H.E. Mrs. María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, President of the 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly
