Secretary-General António Guterres briefs reporters on his upcoming travels.

"As preparations intensify for the High-Level week of the General Assembly, I will be traveling to the Africa Climate Summit in Kenya, the ASEAN-UN Summit in Indonesia, the G20 Summit in India, and the Summit of the G77 and China in Cuba." said the Secretary-General. "Multilateral institutions will only survive if they are truly universal. And I will therefore be carrying the same message to all these meetings – the strong call for reforms to bring our outdated multilateral institutions and frameworks into line with the economic and political realities of today's world, based on equity and solidarity, " he continued. "Diplomacy is more important than ever to navigate the tensions of our emerging multipolar world. Dialogue remains the only way to find joint approaches and common solutions to the global threats and challenges that we face," he concluded.
