Mr. President of the general assembly, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, our world is in big trouble. Divides are growing deeper. Inequalities are growing wider. And challenges are spreading farther. But as we come together in a world teeming with turmoil, an image of promise and hope comes to my mind. This ship is the brave commander. It sailed the black sea, with the u. N. Flag flying high and proud. On the one hand, what you see is a vessel like any other plying the seas. But look closer. At its essence, this ship is a symbol of what we can accomplish, when we act together. It is loaded with ukrainian grain, destined for the people of the horn of africa, millions of whom are on the edge of famine. It navigated through a war zone, guided by the very parties to the conflict, as part of an unprecedented comprehensive initiative to get more food and fertilizer out of ukraine and russia. To bring desperately needed relief to those in need. To calm commodity markets, secure future harve
