The complex challenges facing our world today require multipolar solutions rooted in humanity’s common principles, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stressed.

“Global problems will not be solved by one power calling the shots. Nor will they be solved by two powers carving the world into rival spheres of influence.”

The Secretary-General says the UN remains determined, in these troubled times, to press for peace, justice and progress for all.

“Despite all the hurdles, the United Nations is acting to give life to our shared values. And we won’t give up.”
