Guterres calls for interdependence in final UN General Assembly address
The UN secretary-general used his final General Assembly address to appeal for cooperation, in a message France 24 said was largely directed at the world’s superpowers.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for “a world built on interdependence” in his final address to the United Nations General Assembly.
The address was delivered on Tuesday during the annual gathering of world leaders. Guterres’s remarks placed cooperation and shared dependence at the centre of his message.
France 24’s UN correspondent Jessica Le Masurier characterised the appeal as being aimed largely at the world’s superpowers.
The source material does not identify specific countries or policies addressed by Guterres in the speech.
The address was his final General Assembly appearance as secretary-general, but not his final day in office. His second five-year term is due to end on 31 December.
