25/06/2025 | 11:50:37 Thank you very much, Mr President.

We are concerned whenever there is a threat to these values in any of our... 28/01/2025 | 12:03:37 Thank you very much, Madam President. Dear colleagues, as already many of you have mentioned, we stand in a crossroad when it comes to global governance. The rule-based international order, established to uphold peace, justice, and co-operation, is facing unprecedented challenges.
