Speaker 5: Ve Hello everyone, It is wonderful to be able to
Speaker 5: speak with you today.
Speaker 4: H We are here at the NATO Summit and we
Speaker 4: will be standing for Canada's interests on the world stage.
Speaker 4: This is Canada's time.
Speaker 5: This is a time where we will utilize our diplomacy
Speaker 5: to ensure that Canada's domestic interests and economic interests are
Speaker 5: being advocated on the world stage. In addition, we must
Speaker 5: always coach that conversation in the context of Canadian values
Speaker 5: of peace, of security for civilians, and of the integrity
Speaker 5: of the international order. Three main points I want to mention.
Speaker 5: First of all, yesterday was a very good day for
Speaker 5: Canada and the Canadian economy as we finalized and signed
Speaker 5: the agreement between Canada.
Speaker 4: And the EU with the Security and Defense Partnership. This
Speaker 4: is good news. Why because it is going to open
Speaker 4: up supply chains for Canadian businesses and in particular those
Speaker 4: in the security and defense industries. Canadian businesses are going
Speaker 4: to be able to operate on par with European businesses
Speaker 4: in the defense industry. We've set out a framework and
Speaker 4: additional work that is going to be done between the
Speaker 4: two countries and businesses amongst the two regions or jurisdictions
Speaker 4: I should say, will continue. Second is NATO. This is
Speaker 4: the first day of the NATO Summit. Of course, everyone
Speaker 4: is gathering here and Canada is here to represent multilateralism
Speaker 4: over unilateralism. We represent cooperation over protectionism. We stand for
Speaker 4: the rules based international order that has kept us all
Speaker 4: safe since the end of the Second World War, and
Speaker 4: we will be here to voice our support for Ukraine
Speaker 4: in the short and long term. Then finally, our support
Speaker 4: in the Middle East. We will see a flight chartered
Speaker 4: flight leaving the region with over one hundred people on
Speaker 4: board this evening. We are also assisting our allies in
Speaker 4: the region if their citizens need assistance, and I will
Speaker 4: say that we've helped over five hundred Canadians in the
Speaker 4: region as a whole, So this work continues. We've deployed
Speaker 4: additional consular services throughout the region, throughout the border area areas,
Speaker 4: and we will continue to be there to support Canadians
Speaker 4: and to advocate and ensure to the best of our abilities,
Speaker 4: the safety and security of that region as a whole.
Speaker 5: We do urge all Canadians to register with Global Affairs Canada.
Speaker 5: Don't go Ecsage of Reservoiriston merci.
Speaker 1: Great, Thank you minister. If you have a question, please
Speaker 1: use the raise hand functions. It was Evan Keystone to
Speaker 1: sail bouton level one. Question one follow up in Kestonian Sreeve.
Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike Blanchfield from Politico. Mike, can you
Speaker 1: hear us?
Speaker 6: Hi? Can you hear me now?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 6: Okay, sorry about that.
Speaker 7: Good morning, minister. Thanks for taking the time to be
Speaker 7: with us today, mentioning a moment ago that we're using
Speaker 7: diplomacy on the world stage to foster our economic interests.
Speaker 7: In light of that, you you had a conversation with
Speaker 7: the Ranian foreign minister the other day, and Donald Trump
Speaker 7: is on his way to the summit tonight.
Speaker 6: With his entourage.
Speaker 8: What is it that your government needs to know from
Speaker 8: them about what's going on in Iran and the impact
Speaker 8: future impact that they have given the events are happening
Speaker 8: so quickly, and are you going to be speaking to
Speaker 8: the Ranians or the Israelis again anytime soon.
Speaker 4: So there's a lot in that question, Mike, but let
Speaker 4: me just take it bit by bit. First of all,
Speaker 4: my conversation with the Iranian Foreign Minister was very much to.
Speaker 5: First indicate the need for the safety and security of
Speaker 5: Canadians in Iran, second to urge for a diplomatic and
Speaker 5: peaceful resolution to the conflict and a return to the
Speaker 5: negotiating table, and third to advocate the importance of Ps.
Speaker 4: Seven five to two and the victims of Ps. Seven
Speaker 4: five to two.
Speaker 5: It is not a regular occurrence for the Foreign Minister
Speaker 5: of Canada to speak with the Foreign Minister of Iran.
Speaker 5: We have not had diplomatic relations with that country since
Speaker 5: twenty twelve, and we have declared the Iranian regime a
Speaker 5: terrorist entity in Canadian law. So it was unprecedented, but
Speaker 5: the reason for the call was very specific, and I've
Speaker 5: outlined those three reasons for you here. Secondly, in terms
Speaker 5: of our interests on the global stage, it is not
Speaker 5: limited to advocating for Canadian economic interest. It is to
Speaker 5: utilize our diplomacy to stand for Canadian values, one of
Speaker 5: which is global peace, one of which is the protection
Speaker 5: of civilians, and one of which is the augmentation of
Speaker 5: our domestic interests, our domestic economies by fostering diplomatic relationships
Speaker 5: and building on our relationships with our allies and partners globally.
Speaker 5: You know, Canada, it is often said, and truthfully, is
Speaker 5: the only G seven country that has a free trade
Speaker 5: agreement with every other G seven country.
Speaker 4: Well, what does that mean. It means that we have
Speaker 4: to utilize those agreements and beyond so that we are
Speaker 4: never again eighty percent dependent on one economy, that being
Speaker 4: the United States. And so we have a lot of
Speaker 4: work in front of us diplomatically, but that sets out
Speaker 4: the frame within which we are operating and in which
Speaker 4: our diplomatic relationships will continue.
Speaker 9: Just starting off with obviously the latest developments in the
Speaker 9: Middle East. As you saw earlier today on social media,
Speaker 9: the Secretary General welcome President Trump's announcement of a ceasefire
Speaker 9: between Israel and Iran. The Secretary General urges the two
Speaker 9: countries to respect that cease fire fully. The fighting must stop,
Speaker 9: he said, as the people of both Israel and Iran
Speaker 9: have already suffered too much. The Secretary General hopes that
Speaker 9: this ceasefire can be replicated in the other conflicts in
Speaker 9: the region.
Speaker 6: Till thirty one. I now give the floor to Miss
Speaker 6: Ross Marie de Carlo.
Speaker 10: Madam, President, thank you for the opportunity to brief the
Speaker 10: Council on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the
Speaker 10: implementation of Resolution twenty two to thirty one. As the
Speaker 10: Secretary General noted in his latest report, with less than
Speaker 10: four months left until the termination of its provisions, the
Speaker 10: objectives of Resolution twenty two thirty one and those of
Speaker 10: the JCPOA have yet to be fully realized. This is regrettable.
Speaker 10: The JCPOWA was adopted in twenty fifteen to ensure that
Speaker 10: the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program would be exclusively peaceful.
Speaker 10: It included sanctions relief, nuclear program restrictions, and monitoring and verification.
Speaker 10: The JCPOA has faced many challenges since its inception, including
Speaker 10: the withdrawal of the United States from the agreement in
Speaker 10: twenty eighteen and Iran's withdrawal from some of its commitments
Speaker 10: as outlined in the plan. Still, over the last few months,
Speaker 10: JCPOWA participants increased their efforts to identify a way forward
Speaker 10: for full implementation of the plan. In addition, Iran and
Speaker 10: the United States engaged in five rounds of bilateral talks
Speaker 10: facilitated by Oman. Regrettably, neither of these initiatives produced a
Speaker 10: way forward to ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 10: The military escalation between Israel and Iran since thirteen June
Speaker 10: and United States air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities on
Speaker 10: twenty one June complicated prospects for achieving full implementation of
Speaker 10: Resolution twenty two thirty one. Iran strikes yesterday an ABASE
Speaker 10: in Qatar, an action which the Secretary General condemned, further
Speaker 10: exacerbated insecurity in an already tense region. Madam President. Earlier
Speaker 10: to day, the Secretary General welcomed the announcement by the
Speaker 10: United States in co ordination with Katar, of a cease
Speaker 10: fire agreement between Israel and Iran, and urged them to
Speaker 10: respect it fully. This is a significant achievement that potentially
Speaker 10: pulls Iran, Israel, and the region back from the brink.
Speaker 10: The people of Iran in Israel have already suffered too much.
Speaker 10: According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, since the start
Speaker 10: of the conflict, at least six hundred and six people
Speaker 10: have been killed, with one hundred seven killed in the
Speaker 10: past twenty four hours and five thousand, three hundred thirty
Speaker 10: two injured. According to Israeli authorities, twenty eight people were
Speaker 10: killed and one thousand, four hundred seventy two were injured
Speaker 10: during the conflict. Madame President. In its quarterly report of
Speaker 10: thirty one May twenty twenty five, the International Atomic Energy
Speaker 10: Agency observed that the significantly increase production and accumulation of
Speaker 10: highly enriched uranium by the Islamic Republic of Iran was
Speaker 10: of serious concern. The IAEA reiterated that its verification and
Speaker 10: monitoring activities related to the JCPAA have been seriously affected
Speaker 10: by the secession of implementation by Iran of its nuclear
Speaker 10: related commitments under the plan. The agency also again noted
Speaker 10: that it had lost its continuity of knowledge on many
Speaker 10: aspects of Iran's nuclear program as it had not been
Speaker 10: able to perform verification and monitoring activities and the Islamic
Speaker 10: Republic of Iran for more than four years. In addition,
Speaker 10: the IAEA noted it was unable to verify the total
Speaker 10: stockpile of enriched uranium in the country and had not
Speaker 10: done so since February twenty twenty one. During the reporting period,
Speaker 10: the Secretary General received several communications from JCPOWA participants. On
Speaker 10: seventeen March, the Permanent Representatives of China, the Islamic Republic
Speaker 10: of Iran, and the Russian Federation shared a joint statement
Speaker 10: adopted at their meeting of fourteen March in Beijing, in
Speaker 10: which they stress the importance of Resolution twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 10: including its time frames. In a separate letter received the
Speaker 10: same day, the Permanent Representative of China shared a proposal
Speaker 10: for the settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, highlighting the
Speaker 10: JCPOA as the basis for a new consensus and cooperation
Speaker 10: through dialog and a step by step and reciprocal approach.
Speaker 10: In letters received on nine eleven and twelve June, the
Speaker 10: Permanent representatives of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Islamia,
Speaker 10: Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation shared their different
Speaker 10: views regarding the causes of the impasse in the implementation
Speaker 10: of Resolution twenty two thirty one. Despite their diverging outlooks,
Speaker 10: all five member states reiterated the importance of negotiations and
Speaker 10: reaffirmed their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution. Madame President
Speaker 10: will now turn to the restrictive measures set out in
Speaker 10: Annex B to Resolution twenty two thirty one. The only
Speaker 10: measures that remain in effect pertain to nuclear activities and transfers.
Speaker 10: Those measures will remain in place until eighteen October twenty
Speaker 10: twenty five, unless decided otherwise by the Council. The Secretariat
Speaker 10: received no allegations of violations of these provisions during the
Speaker 10: reporting period. Moreover, no new proposals have been submitted in
Speaker 10: the Procurement channel in the last six months of the
Speaker 10: reporting cycle. The Security Council, however, received eight notifications regarding
Speaker 10: the nuclear related restrictive measures for certain activities consistent with
Speaker 10: the jcpoa Madam President. At the heart of this conflict
Speaker 10: is the nature of Iran's nuclear program. Following the deadly
Speaker 10: clashes of the past twelve days, the ceasefire agreement is
Speaker 10: an opportunity to avoid a catastrophic escalation and achieve a
Speaker 10: peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear issue. Diplomacy, dialogue and
Speaker 10: verification remained the best option to ensure the exclusively peaceful
Speaker 10: nature of Iran's nuclear program and to bring about concrete
Speaker 10: economic benefits to the people of Iran. As the Secretary
Speaker 10: General said earlier today, the United Nations stands ready to
Speaker 10: support all efforts that advance peace, dialogue, and stability in
Speaker 10: the region.
Speaker 11: Fine afternoon, and thank you for joining US. Israel's ambassador
Speaker 11: to the U and Dannie Dunnan will deliver a brief
Speaker 11: statement about the recent developments in the region. He will
Speaker 11: take your questions afterwards. If you are cool to ask
Speaker 11: a question, please remember to state your name and news outlet.
Speaker 12: Thank you, Good afternoon. Since the launch of Operation Riding Lyon,
Speaker 12: ether has walked with clarity and purpose to remove a
Speaker 12: double existential threat, both the nuclear threat and the threat
Speaker 12: of the Iranian regime's ballistic missile capabilities. The IDF achieved
Speaker 12: complete air superiority over Iran, struck a severe blow to
Speaker 12: Iran's military leadership, and this entered dozens of the regime's
Speaker 12: kyth strategic sites. Our forces acted with precision, resolve, and restraint.
Speaker 12: These threats no longer e goovern the people of Israel
Speaker 12: as they did just a few days ago. In full
Speaker 12: coordination with President Tramp is well as agreed to a
Speaker 12: cease file. We thank the United States for its support
Speaker 12: and for its critical role in helping remove the Iranian
Speaker 12: nuclear threat. Last night, four innocent civilians were murdered in
Speaker 12: Belosheva by Iran. Their tragic deaths are reminder of the
Speaker 12: evil we faced. My friends, Israel is the peaceful nation.
Speaker 12: We pray for peace three times a day, but let
Speaker 12: no one mistake our desire for peace at the weakness.
Speaker 12: Any violation of the ceasefire and any threat against our
Speaker 12: people will be met with a forceful response. We have
Speaker 12: demonstrated that we can and will act to defend our
Speaker 12: people against any threat. We will do so with overwhelming
Speaker 12: strengths and moral clarity. We have seen the semic impact
Speaker 12: of the Abrahma codes. Today, I have no doubt that
Speaker 12: the leadership Israea displayed in recent days will enable more
Speaker 12: countries to join the past of normalization. Israel has proven
Speaker 12: that it can confront the most serious threats in the
Speaker 12: region and that we will never hesitate to defend our future.
Speaker 12: Thank you, ambassador.
Speaker 13: Are two questions.
Speaker 2: Very good, Good afternoon everyone. So we're pleased to be
Speaker 2: joined today by Jorge Morera da Silva, who is, as
Speaker 2: you know, the executive director of the UN Office for
Speaker 2: Project Services, which we all know best as you nobs.
Speaker 2: He is joining us as you can see virtually, and
Speaker 2: he will talk to you about his recent trip to
Speaker 2: me and Mar. Please go ahead, you have the floor.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I'm in China and beijinga I just came
Speaker 6: from me and Mar.
Speaker 14: It's midnight here and I'd like to thank this opportunity
Speaker 14: to the brief you on my mission to me and Mark.
Speaker 14: The purpose of the visit was to meet affected communities
Speaker 14: and responders following the earthquake.
Speaker 6: That struck me and Mar in.
Speaker 14: March twenty eighth, seven point seven magnitude, as you recall,
Speaker 14: and we wanted to get a better understanding of the
Speaker 14: needs on the ground.
Speaker 6: And now UKNOPS can.
Speaker 14: Better support recovery and reconstruction efforts. For context, you may
Speaker 14: know UNOPS has the largest un presence in me and
Speaker 14: Mar with almost five hundred colleagues on the ground for
Speaker 14: thirty years. We have supported the people of me and
Speaker 14: Mar for the past thirty years, offering solutions to improve health, livelihoods,
Speaker 14: rural development and agriculture initiatives across the country. We manage
Speaker 14: some of the largest development funds in me and Mar,
Speaker 14: Global Fund, Livelihoods and Food Security Fund and Access to
Speaker 14: Health Funds, among others. My colleagues support humanitarian efforts to
Speaker 14: reduce risks posted by.
Speaker 6: Minus as well. Almost three months.
Speaker 14: In, communities are still really really from the earthquakes, the
Speaker 14: strongest that the country has experience in a century. I
Speaker 14: visit Yangon, Sangang and Mandolike. The devastation caused by the
Speaker 14: quakes compounded the existing challenges of conflict, displacement and severe
Speaker 14: humanitarian needs.
Speaker 6: Even before the quake.
Speaker 14: More than three point five million people were.
Speaker 6: Displaced by conflict.
Speaker 14: Now in the most affected areas that I visited, more
Speaker 14: than six point three million people remain in urgent need
Speaker 14: of assistance and protection. I saw the extent of the
Speaker 14: damage and the needs. In my visit to Sagang and
Speaker 14: the Mandolike damage, infrastructure is limiting access to physic services,
Speaker 14: increasing the vulnerability of communities. Displacement and disease risks are rising.
Speaker 14: Many people are still living in temporary shelters without access
Speaker 14: to clean water and basic services as the monson season
Speaker 14: is underway, exposing communities to flooding and increasing the risks
Speaker 14: of disease. Access remains severely limited and localization of assistance
Speaker 14: remains essential to reach the most vulnerable. Debris removal is
Speaker 14: another key concern. Over two point five million terms of
Speaker 14: debris must be cleared to pave the way for recovery.
Speaker 14: Of course, response and recovery efforts are taking place amid
Speaker 14: active conflict. Let's not forget that the conflict never stopped
Speaker 14: even immediately after the earthquake, and insecurity continues to ininder
Speaker 14: recovery efforts. We need an injured humanitarian access, especially in
Speaker 14: hard to reach areas.
Speaker 6: We continue to call on whole parties to the conflict to.
Speaker 14: Uphold obligations and the international humanitarian law and to ensure.
Speaker 6: Safer and impedded aid access. To conclude.
Speaker 14: Despite these constraints, un systems many tariant partners and local responders.
Speaker 6: Continue to deliver deliver for those most in it.
Speaker 14: Immediately after the earthquake, you knows worked swiftly with our partners,
Speaker 14: mobilized twenty five million dollars and scaled up our response
Speaker 14: to reach of a million people with life saving assistance
Speaker 14: A systems.
Speaker 6: My colleagues closely with you.
Speaker 15: And family and Family.
Speaker 14: And other humanitarian partners to provide immediate assistance and support
Speaker 14: recovery efforts efforts, including by delivering emergency shelters, access to
Speaker 14: clean water, and deploying infrastructure specialists for rapid assessments. As
Speaker 14: we and our partners shifting gears from immediate responts to
Speaker 14: early recovery, the reconstruction needs our immense The World Bank
Speaker 14: releases some data that shows that the damage damage estimates
Speaker 14: amount to eleven billion dollars, with full reconstruction likely likely
Speaker 14: cost two to three times more this amount. Giving the
Speaker 14: scale of devastation and needs, a much bigger flow of
Speaker 14: funding is needed to support our collective efforts efforts. We
Speaker 14: are working along other partners to restore social services, rebuild livelihoods,
Speaker 14: and support communities. This is a collective effort, but we
Speaker 14: and our partners need safe, sustained access to prevent further suffering.
Speaker 14: Recovery and reconstruction efforts should support me and mark journey
Speaker 14: to peace and reconciliations. Protection of civilians must be a priority.
Speaker 14: I'm available to answer to questions. Apologies, I'm not reaching
Speaker 14: you in the best conditions.
Speaker 2: Much for being with us. Let me just ask the
Speaker 2: control room because we have an echo that is on
Speaker 2: and off. I don't know if there's anything that can
Speaker 2: be done. Apparently not, so we will try to live
Speaker 2: with it. We're grateful that you're able to join us
Speaker 2: today at the time that it is where you are,
Speaker 2: So let me go to questions. Let me go to
Speaker 2: edy first.
Speaker 13: Thank you very much on behalf of the United Nations
Speaker 13: Correspondence Association for doing this briefing. My name is Edith
Speaker 13: Letterer from the Associated Press. I know that you were
Speaker 13: there to assess the damage from the earthquake and reconstruction needs,
Speaker 13: but I wonder if you could give us your assessment
Speaker 13: of what you saw about the military situation there. And
Speaker 13: a second question is with the current military situation, do
Speaker 13: you think that donors will really be willing to spend
Speaker 13: millions of dollars millions and billions of dollars on reconstruction
Speaker 13: until after that ends.
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you. Indeed, the military.
Speaker 14: Situation didn't improve despite the announcements of ceasefire. I visited
Speaker 14: several internal displaced people's centers and very close there were strikes.
Speaker 14: So I engaged with the population, with communities, with families,
Speaker 14: and they were still flewing from the conflict. Some were
Speaker 14: in the IDP camp due to the earthquake, but others
Speaker 14: were just coming to the IDP camp to flew from
Speaker 14: the conflict. So the conflict never stopped. Maybe it test
Speaker 14: stopped a couple of days after the earthquake. But what
Speaker 14: is particular, really shocking is that even in the aftermath
Speaker 14: of the earthquake, when you had half a million people
Speaker 14: forced displaces due to earthquake, massive destruction the schools, hospitals,
Speaker 14: house the conflict never stopped. And that's why it's important
Speaker 14: to continue putting all pressure and making all efforts to
Speaker 14: get ceasfire and reconciliation. But at the same time, and
Speaker 14: let me be very candid and responding to your question,
Speaker 14: I don't think that the fact that we are dealing
Speaker 14: with an ongoing conflict justifies any delay or postponement in
Speaker 14: support of me and Mark. Me and Mark cannot become
Speaker 14: a forgotten crisis. This country has faced cyclones, war, conflict,
Speaker 14: violent climate and our image suffering. And therefore, even before
Speaker 14: the reconstruction, reconstruction will take time, but even before the reconstruction,
Speaker 14: there are basic.
Speaker 6: Elements of emergency relief that is needed.
Speaker 14: Let's not forget that UN call for the humanitarian emergency
Speaker 14: amount two seventy five million dollars and only twenty two
Speaker 14: percent of that was provided. And therefore I called the
Speaker 14: international community to provide the support to me and Margaret
Speaker 14: at the same time giving confidence. Why because for instance,
Speaker 14: you NOTPS and we are the largest UN agency underground.
Speaker 6: We have found a way to provide.
Speaker 14: Direct support to the people without compromising this localization, so
Speaker 14: we don't there is no risk of appropriation of funds,
Speaker 14: no risks of aid diversion. We have with the local partners,
Speaker 14: with local NGOs, we have found a way in those
Speaker 14: thirty years to support the people.
Speaker 6: And this is also true in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Speaker 14: So I really think it's important to mobilize the support
Speaker 14: to me and Mark. And it's it's confirmed that we
Speaker 14: can do it with many other agencies on the ground,
Speaker 14: with the close partnership with Angels.
Speaker 13: Thank you.
Speaker 16: Let me go to Evelyn, thank you very much for
Speaker 16: the information. Evelyn Leopold dag Hammer Short Fund for Journalists.
Speaker 16: Would you advocate a weapons embargo on me and more?
Speaker 16: Is that something you could possibly do? And then I
Speaker 16: have another question.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I would prefer not to enter into those
Speaker 14: topics because, as you know, you know is an agency
Speaker 14: that is totally focused on operations. My objective in this
Speaker 14: mission was to observe impact of the earthquake and the
Speaker 14: needs I aligned and I echoed the calls from the UN,
Speaker 14: from the Sex Channel for a seas fire and for reconciliation.
Speaker 16: But I'm not I don't know if you're in a
Speaker 16: position to answer it, but you and OPS has had
Speaker 16: one scandal after another, and the latest one is a
Speaker 16: housing project in Kenya where I lived for three years
Speaker 16: a long time ago, and it's a major scandal that passed.
Speaker 16: Blue wrote about in detail about homes were promised, money
Speaker 16: was raised, nothing was delivered. Can you comment on that
Speaker 16: or it it's not in your pervium.
Speaker 6: No, I can't.
Speaker 14: It's not the new scandal it's the same scandal from
Speaker 14: four years ago and that we fix it. I. As
Speaker 14: you know, I was recruited following the crisis related with
Speaker 14: three I. We have been asked by the Member States
Speaker 14: to significantly reform UNOPS.
Speaker 3: We did it.
Speaker 14: We concluded our compressive response plan. We overcurn that crisis
Speaker 14: and the trust was rebuilt. So the news that you
Speaker 14: were sharing are still related with that issue that happened
Speaker 14: four years ago.
Speaker 6: So it's nothing new. It's the same.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you. Do we have other questions from
Speaker 2: the room or online. Very good, well, thank you so
Speaker 2: on this we had or Hey Morrera de Selva, who
Speaker 2: is the executive director of u KNOPS, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for joining us today and for giving us an
Speaker 2: update on the situation in Mian Mark greatly appreciated and
Speaker 2: please come back anytime, and thank you so much. Everyone.
Speaker 2: Sharon will come now and then after that Stefan will
Speaker 2: come and do the noon briefing.
Speaker 17: You speak, Good afternoon everyone.
Speaker 18: On Iran and Israel, the President of the U and
Speaker 18: Journal Assembly, his Excellency Mister Phillimong Youang welcomes then announcement
Speaker 18: by President Trump of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Speaker 18: He calls to the two countries to respect the ceasefire
Speaker 18: agreement and seaze hostilities. He reiterates that military might does
Speaker 18: not bring durable peace. He calls on all parties to
Speaker 18: engage in diplomacy and pursue dialogue in order to settle
Speaker 18: any disputes in accordance with the UN Charter and international law.
Speaker 18: On the UN eighteen Initiative, President Yang convened an informal
Speaker 18: meeting today to hear an update by UN Under secret
Speaker 18: General for Policy, Missagai Rido on the UN eighty Initiative.
Speaker 18: Following an interest expressed by member states. At the meeting,
Speaker 18: President Yang stated that in two days, we will celebrate
Speaker 18: the aged anniversary of the signing of the Charter, a
Speaker 18: time to reflect in the last eighty years and all
Speaker 18: that this organization has achieved, and also a time to
Speaker 18: look to the future to make sure the organization is
Speaker 18: fit for purpose and is capable of responding to the
Speaker 18: challenges that will come in the next eighty years. Along
