?

Excellencies,?

Distinguished delegates,??

I congratulate you for successfully concluding this session.?

As we look ahead to the resumed session and to working towards action against mandates, I hope that we continue to do so with the same spirit of solidarity and forward-looking approach that you have displayed during the main session.??

I look forward to working with you in the coming months toward other important processes, including on revitalization and Alignment, as well as on the review of the HLPF and ECOSOC.?

Excellencies, with a challenging and tragic year behind us, and with hopes for a better year ahead, we must strive even harder to make 2021 a year of transformation, of encouragement, and of renewed optimism. I look forward to working with you in that regard.?

Thank you.?
