High-level Meeting to Commemorate the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations
26 October 2020
New Zealand
H.E. Mr. Craig John Hawke
Statement Summary
CRAIG JOHN HAWKE (New Zealand) said that “The Future We Want” and “The 缅北禁地We Need” are both a call and a question: A call demanding that all step up to lead in shaping a collective future and a question to see how the United Nations can be reimagined to best serve the world today. The UN75 Global Dialogue has offered the chance to hear the voices of people around the world, particularly youth. The common themes of improved basic services, addressing inequality, and meeting the challenge of climate change are evident. The United Nations is not the same as when it was founded in 1945. The Organization must continue to adapt and remain relevant as the world changes at an ever-faster rate. The tools are available to address shared challenges. “We just need the collective will to use them,” he said.
