“I call upon all Member States to fulfill their financial obligations in a timely manner and without conditions. The United Nations is the place for global dialogue, bringing friends and adversaries together. The funding of the United Nations must, therefore, never be subjected to solving political problems. It is the contrary. We must all fund our Organization in order to deal with our problems.”
