NEW YORK, USA – UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged world leaders to “get serious – and deliver” as they begin arriving in New York for the high-level week of the 80th General Assembly.
Speaking at a press conference at the UN Headquarters on Tuesday in New York, he warned that global divisions, conflicts and crises have left the very principle of international cooperation to its most fragile point in decades.
“Some call it the World Cup of diplomacy,” Guterres said.
“But this cannot be about scoring points – it must be about solving problems. There is too much at stake.”
