UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, “We must strengthen and update the machinery of peace.”
Guterres addressed today (24 Oct) the 16th BRICS Summit, held in Kazan, Russian Federation.
The Secretary-General, in his remarks, said that he saluted the valuable commitment and support for international problem-solving of the participants.
He added that no single group and no single country can act alone or in isolation and that it takes a community of nations, working as one global family, to address global challenges.
He outlined the four areas where the September’s Summit of the Future offered a roadmap for strengthening multilateralism: finance, climate, technology and, of course, peace.
He underscored the need for peace in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine.
In relation to Ukraine, he reaffirmed his position and told the delegates that we need a just peace in Ukraine in line with the UN Charter, international law and General Assembly resolutions.
Everywhere, the Secretary-General added, we must uphold the values of the UN Charter, the rule of law, and the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all States.
On the sidelines of the session, the Secretary-General had a number of pull-aside conversations, including with the President of Türkiye, Recip Tayyip Erdogan; the President of Egypt, Abdelfattah al-Sisi; the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas; and the Foreign Secretary of India, Vikram Misri, among others.
