Guterres calls for strengthening the role of the United Nations.

The high-level meeting commemorating the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations was held at the United Nations headquarters on September 22. UN Secretary-General Guterres pointed out in his speech that war, hunger, climate change, and other factors are all severe tests of the global governance system. He emphasized, "In order to address these challenges, we must not only defend the status of the United Nations, but also strengthen its role." Guterres called for collective action by UN member states to promote the implementation of important agendas such as the "Future Contract" and the "UN 80th Anniversary Reform Initiative". "The only way forward is to move forward together. Let us face this moment with clarity, courage, and firm conviction, and fulfill our commitment to peace."
