High-level Meeting to Commemorate the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations
21 September 2020
Kazakhstan
His Excellency Mr. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
Statement Summary
KASSYM-JOMART TOKAYEV, President of Kazakhstan, recalled that, while the United Nations has led in an era of broad international cooperation, there have also been missed opportunities to find common ground and lessen suffering in the world. Multilateralism now faces greater risk than at any other point since the end of the cold war, he said, noting the COVID?19 pandemic and a second arms race. It is more important than ever to operate with hope instead of fear, galvanizing efforts and continuing to build a rules?based community, he stressed.
