They said it: Leaders at the UN, in their own words
Many world leaders use the United Nations General Assembly each year to voice their opinions on matters that are important to them, their regions, and the world at large. The annual assembly is a platform where diverse perspectives are shared.
The Associated Press (AP) takes a different approach this year, focusing on some leaders who may have been overlooked despite their significant contributions to the discussions. These leaders offer unique insights that may not have received the same attention in the mainstream media.
Prince Abdul Mateen, the foreign minister of Brunei, emphasizes the need to rebuild confidence, stating that it does not mean returning to a world that no longer exists. Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, the foreign minister of Iceland, believes that creativity is universal, and the difference lies in how society provides the space for it to thrive.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the secretary of state of the Vatican, highlights the potential of Moldova, stating that while it may never be a great power, it has everything needed to become a great country. Finally, Francisco Avelino Vieira de Carvalho, the prime minister of Cabo Verde, reminds us that the size of a territory should never limit the size of its dreams.
