The challenges we face are too great, too complex and too interconnected for any nation to tackle alone. That is why Europe will always choose outreach and cooperation. With trusted and like-minded partners. And through a strong multilateral system built to champion peace in today’s world.

The 81st United Nations General Assembly opens against the backdrop of a new reality. A multipolar, more transactional world, where the temptation to turn inward can be strong. But it also opens with one certainty for Europe.
