Dear members of the Media.

Yesterday, I addressed the General Assembly focusing on priorities for this year and beyond. 

It is a long and detailed agenda – but the varied challenges are connected by a common thread.

Peace. 

The need for peace in all its dimensions because peace is the tie that binds.

On issues of peace and security – we face rising conflict and geopolitical divisions.

On issues of peace within communities – we see rising polarization.
