TUILAEPA SAILELE MALIELEGAOI, Prime Minister of Samoa, said the world has enjoyed peace and security since the United Nations was founded, but much more is needed to maintain the status quo.  Citing the special situation of small island nations, he said the United Nations is uniquely suited to respond effectively to the greatest current challenges, including climate change, poverty, armed conflicts, inequality and pandemics.  The Organization has also been vital in supporting Samoa¡¯s journey from its independence until today, participating in reform efforts and continuing to provide Pacific and island countries with specific solutions.  ¡°This is the promised future we want,¡± he said, adding that the national vision is underpinned by its unique communal faa-Samoa culture and traditions that are key to order, stability and security and the pursuit of sustainable growth, social progress and environmental sustainability.  ¡°Our United Nations is a multilateral forum where all contributions count, and Samoa proudly cherishes having a seat at the United Nations table to contribute to our global challenges, being heard and being part of the solution,¡± he said.  ¡°To all our members, let¡¯s capitalize on our ¡®unity in diversity¡¯ and work as nations united for the common good of mankind.¡±
