AS DELIVERED

The United States wants to start by thanking President Bozkir for convening the General Assembly on this important theme. Important because I think it’s clear to all of us that the challenges we face – COVID, climate change, ending conflict – can’t be resolved by any of us acting alone.

I have one question for the panel’s thoughts: what can all of us do to reaffirm the foundational values, the principles, the rules of the free and open international rules-based order that we have all built together?

Thank you very much.
