The United Nations General Assembly has opened at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA.
From next week, the leaders of each country will make a speech, focusing on whether the international community can unite on urgent issues such as humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan and countermeasures against the new coronavirus.
At the UN Headquarters in New York, the 76th UN General Assembly began on the 14th, and Secretary-General António Guterres proved that "multilateralism is the only way to a better future for all through action and collaboration, not words." Let's do it. "
Last year's UN General Assembly gave all speeches and conferences online as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, but will the speeches by the leaders and representatives starting next week 21st actually visit the UN headquarters and make a speech at the meeting place? Each country is supposed to choose whether to play a pre-recorded video.
According to the United Nations summary, so far, leaders and representatives of more than 100 countries, including President Biden of the United States, are expected to make speeches at the United Nations headquarters, and face-to-face summit diplomacy will be held in New York for the first time in two years.
At this year's UN General Assembly, each country is expected to express its position on the situation in Afghanistan.
With the disagreements of each country on the Taliban, an armed group that has seized power, the question is how the international community will respond to distribute humanitarian support to the people.
Furthermore, the situation in Myanmar where the military coup d'etat, countermeasures against the new coronavirus, and response to global warming are also major agenda items, and the focus is on whether the international community can unite these urgent issues.
