NEW YORK, 11 September 2021, (TON): At a meeting of the UN General Assembly, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for a high-level “summit of the future” to develop a new agenda on peace and global security.

He said “the world cannot afford to ignore the threat posed by a pandemic and rapid climate change.”

The Secretary General called “to start a new era of bold transformative policies in all directions.” Guterres urged to “get our heads out of the sand” and be ready to face future crises in health, finance and climate.

“One of the central recommendations of my report on our shared agenda is that the world should come together to address all of these and other issues at the High-Level Future Summit.”

“This Summit will seek to build a new global consensus on how be our future and how we can preserve it, “the secretary general stressed. According to him, the summit should include a new agenda “for peace, with a more comprehensive and holistic view of global security.”

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said “the Taliban’s quick rise to power in Afghanistan could encourage terrorist groups in other parts of the world.”
