Excellencies,
?
I express my warm gratitude to the Member States, Principals of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ agencies and civil society for their participation and contributions to today¡¯s discussion, on applying the principles of a Culture of Peace in today¡¯s world.
?
I reiterate the crucial importance of committing to a culture of peace as new crises and challenges make our world more dynamic and complex, and as the very nature of conflict changes.
?
In line with its principles, we must commit to long term solutions, such as good governance, strengthening justice, building up institutions, and fostering constructive dialogue and debate.
?
Simultaneously, we must prioritize inclusivity and engagement between and within all levels of society. From global and regional organizations to nations states to communities on the ground.
?
I would like to my extend warm gratitude to the Permanent Mission of Bangladesh for their support in co-organizing these different meeting.
?
I also thank them more broadly for theirengagement in reenforcing a culture of pace and keeping these principles alive throughout theyears.
