On behalf of the General Assembly, i have the honor to welcome to the United Nations his excellency emmanuel macron, president of the French Republic , and invite him to address the assembly. You have the floor, your excellency. President macron thank you very much, madam president. Ladies and gentlemen, heads of state, ministers, ambassadors, friends, we are here at the General Assembly at a time when the secretarygeneral has chosen such an extremely important topic, the climate as our central topic, which we discussed yesterday, and we are seeing more and more inpatience everywhere, and we are seeing more and more around the world that many things can lead us to feel pessimistic. We are not meeting the challenge. The demands that we have set for ourselves, the goals that we have set for ourselves in the area of Global Warming or the combat to protect biodiversity, there are many tensions. Lever e world, the level is unprecedented, just what we saw what happened in the few days ago, the persian gulf, or when we see the challenges that many of our friends are facing and i see many Friendly Faces here that i know from other regions of the world, these conflicts are more complex and cruel, cruel, against the civilians, humanitarian personnel, rights it is the age of impunity that has opened. Trade tensions that are increasing and increasing worries about technological changes and impacts. I dont want to draw a picture that is extremely pessimistic and i know that you are tired of listening to speeches and everybody gives you a litany of reasons of which to despair however we have everything to meet these challenges. A unprecedented way. First of all, we have the knowledge. Never has science around the world been so abundant. And to see that to meet these challenges with everything we are developing with Technology Every year, we have the knowledge, detail and funding. There is no lack of funding around the world. We have the capacity to innovate that is unequal. On ais also ideal number of topics, this is also a a way to deal with these challenges. We have a deep awareness of these problems. Our young people do. Also, our Public Opinions are better informed and aware. We have a framework here even. And an organization of free states that is ready to deal with the challenges and prepare for the future. We call it a framework for multilateralism. Whether it is original or to deal with specific issues with specialized organizations. So what are we lacking . Why do we keep pronouncing speeches and keep giving our people the illusion we cannot do anything about it . Speaking here before you i remember the text that has given me sustenance. Theldier wrote this on decline of courage. Hat is what we are lacking courage and a lot of courage and we needed more often. Here i would like to say the appeal i would like to make to you is for us to bring that courage onto subjects just to start. The start to start doing peace and act responsibly and take responsibility the courage to build peace because you need courage for that. Because each time is taking a risk not simply defending your own narrow interest or those positions that led to the escalation of tensions. In every region of the world , building peace is to take a risk. Engage in dialogue, may compromise, we build trust. In so many regions that is what we need. That is what the middle east needs and the region of the golf. That region needs it. Justourage, it is not reprisals. It is responsible actions followed by transparency. From the first time i spoke at this General Assembly, i shared my convictions of the iranian issue and said that strategy of the pressure on the program could only lead to an increase of tensions of the region. Unless there was a clear aspect for diplomatic solution. In 2018 after the american withdraw from the agreement of 2015, i propose a global framework to the jcpoa with a more expanded approach with issues raised by the program Iranian Nuclear program after 2025. Ino, the role of iran regional poster crisis. Ballistic crisis. What happened . The american strategy, the european and russians they try determination to preserve that agreement and iran has responded by a maximum pressure on its neighbors. In this context, the growth constant. Have been on the 14th of september of saudi arabia have clearly changed the situation. Bearing that in mind today we , have a risk of serious conflict based on miscalculation. Peace is at the mercy of an incident or miscalculation and consequence would be very the consequences would be very serious. That is too serious what should , we do . More than ever i sincerely and profoundly believed time has come to resume negotiations between United States and the the United States, iran and the signatories of the jcpoa. Those that are affected by the security and stability of what should be the conditions and the goals and the targets of these negotiations . First of all that i ran never to acquire Nuclear Weapons or a solution to a crisis in yemen and thirdly, a Regional Security plan which also incorporates the other crisis of the region with maritime navigation and then finally, a lifting of economic sanctions. Not naive at all. I dont believe in miracles. I believe that it takes courage to build peace. That is why it is important for the United States, iran and the cemeteries of this agreement to show this courage. It is with the same conviction that we will continue our work that we discussed at length over these weeks. Libya, the sahara. With regard to syria, i want to salute the announcement made by the special representative yesterday. It is a decisive step forward, finally, establishing the constitutional committee. We need to be vigilant and demanding. We are all attached to the stability of sierra syria. All of its regions. We need to protect all of its people. We will continue working to have an inclusive and lasting that in syria. N it will require the secretary of refugees. A free also require electoral process that will enable all syrian citizens to take part. I very deeply believe that of a conciliation conference. Working together with the United Nations to achieve this. Many initiatives have been taken and i welcome the engagement of germany, i welcome the engagement of all the stakeholders who want to build peace. A lasting peace. It will only be built on the basis of reconciliation. You know how committed france is there. Andave only been committed reaffirmed it. Inre, the future lies building lasting cooperation in the region. Our armedment of forces. The involvement of the United Nations and the need. Incorporate our laws, combat terrorism, incorporate those in the mission that we have set for ourselves. To continue involving all of the armed forces of the region. We be engage all of the Security Forces in this combat against terrorism. This is essential. These are just some of the situations where dialogue and political solution are keys to success. This is what we have seen over the past few months. Suspected thanks to the force of these people. Thanks to the capacity for dialogue between the army and the people. And, i want to congratulate ethiopia and the region as a whole for its clairvoyance. Peace. Erage to build president zaleski has taken the first steps. President putin has responded in kind. The progress over the past few weeks has been made. We know what should be the next steps. We have the minsk agreement. We should be able to build lasting peace by working on the ground. We will have the normative. Ormat on each one of these topics, the same question is asked of us. Create an effective framework of cooperation between states and i believe it is possible. I dont believe the problems that we are facing can be resolved by diluting responsibilities. Go back to what President Trump said this morning. I dont believe the crises we are experiencing can be resolved by turning inward. Not by isolationism. I truly believe in patriotism. Patriotism that combines a love of ones nation and a universal vocation. I truly believe in sovereignty. 70 that enjoys autonomy and dependence for oneself but also conjugated with a need to cooperate. What we need today is to reinvent what i call not in this what i call strong multilateral is in. Multilateralism that has been repeated at infinity him but one infinity um. We showed this on the climate. We show this after the United States made the decision to withdraw from the paris agreement. We decided to act with other stakeholders, other sources of funding. Actors,ving the launching a new momentum, we the samenstrated agreement. The success of this approach. This is the same pragmatic multilateralism that we used to combat terrorism around the world. Commitment of the Prime Minister of new zealand. There are platforms that have take concrete action. We have a concrete and shrewd response, an Effective Response to this. We need to continue this momentum. This inundated to respond to modern challenges. My partnership for democracy is also part of this. We need to be inventive and original in terms of security. The major challenge for us is longer capable of ensuring stability in the world conflictual actions. We have a new order to replace the previous one. We are trying in this new order to resolve problems effectively. I believe this requires reaffirming our values. The values of human rights and the dignity of human beings. That cannot be the subject of any relativism. To allires recommitting these values and his situations to build peace and stability and offer people concrete solutions. Is toxt set of courage assume sensibility. Type of courage is to assume responsibility. When we talk about climate, education, equality, we can say that we know a lot. We have seen so much. Every single expert is telling us in great detail about the situation of our world today. If we find ourselves weaker today, it is because too often we have challenged the truth. Facts to givenged preference to shortterm interest. Sometimes to give preference to narrow interest. Faith. S led to a loss of that is a fact. Inequalities today have increased once again in the world. Countries, our contemporary capitalism is functional. It has produced a level of inequality that is unprecedented. We are no longer capable of dealing with new forms of poverty and inequality. It is a lack of equality of opportunity. Gender inequality. Regions,y between inequality in access to health. Climate and equality when we speak of the most vulnerable regions who are affected even more by Global Warming or reduction by diversity, on all of these topics, i presented an agenda last year. And the determination to put combat against inequality cap inequality. Eyes wanted to report very briefly that i think this is a collective contribution that we can make on this. This way, a response begins to emerge. For us to a company the collective engagement that we saw, it is to move away from the shortterm thinking and try to make systemic changes. A veryitted to have assertive agenda for africa. For its security, stability and development. And to have a true Security Development and reciprocity with africa. It is against this backdrop that next to we will have an african, based on the involvement of Civil Society in this process. Next, it is an agenda that puts gender equality in the center. In paris, we launched an initiative of some 250 Million Euros to support Women Entrepreneurs in africa. We will make sure this project is quickly implemented. It is an initiative that is proposed that was initiated by african women, operated by African Development banks. And for which Major Economic powers have decided to invest in it in order to support it. We supported this to protect the victims of sexual violence. Lost Global Property partnerships for equality. To take at least one National Measure for the benefit of women by using best practices around the world, this is essential. We had not even one that fight in our own society. The killing of women continues in france just as in so many other states. Must define this as a crime and take steps to eradicated, even more so that we have done so far. We have seen so many states with backsliding of equality between men and women. We need to see the disposal of womens bodies challenged. Everywhere. Where we see inequality between men and women, we need to step backwards for civilization. It is terrorism that wins. It is backwards this that wins. Backwardness that wins. It is a step back for growth because it is too depressed countries of the potential of Economic Growth and richness. That is why we strong support the United Nations on this agenda. Three principles of action, and emancipate and is where truth of equality. Ins will take place in paris 2020, five years after the beijing declaration. Denmark to the history of our organizational time. There can be no question of backsliding. We need to move forward. Courage isattle and also something we need to think of when we talk of health care. Seeing too much backsliding. Too many steps back. Too much difficulty in accessing health care. Even today, on the 10th of there will be a conference to reconstitute the conference about reinstitute laws about aids, malaria. The fund to combat aids, tuberculosis and malaria. It is in this at this tribune in 2002 they called on the establishment of the fund to combat inequality in the face of combating mortal diseases. That was achieved with the help of the g8. Over 30 million lives have been saved thanks to this fund. We are on the bridge of eliminating major pandemics and in the next three years we might be able to save 60 Million People more. It is simply to state it is inconceivable that for financial reasons or unequal access there can be no question that people shouldnt be able to have access to treatment to prevent or to cure a specific disease or to prevent the diseases from spreading again. It is inconceivable. We need 14 billion. We have three more weeks. We are going to work as hard as possible to make sure this global fund is reconstituted and enables us to meet our ambitions. We need to fight against inequality. On which of the topics assuming responsibility must be demonstrated. This constant paradox on climate. We are collectively becoming jaded to it. Framework. Ablished a we give our young people the possibility of speaking their minds. We keep telling them that it is great, what you have to say to us. The same as acting in the past without changing anything. That cannot continue. Witht want to say that regard to the combat against Climate Change and biodiversity, we need to take concrete steps. Collectivechange our approach. We need to strive to change the way we act together with our entire societys investors. First of all, we need to focus on our ambitions. This is crucial if we want to seek to bring the temperature increase below this market. Mark. We need to take key decisions in the area in particular on carbon tax with a real minimum price. This is absolutely crucial that we should focus on the agenda. These greatest decisions are important and they need to be taken right now. We need more broadly to involve all countries in focusing on being Carbon Neutral by 2050. The president talked a few moments ago to you and he talked about this. We need to continue to work on this crucial strategy. Has just said it is prepared to get on board with this agenda, this coalition and i know that china is very keen to focus on climate. It has done so in the past two years. I know that together, if we focus on Carbon Neutrality, we can fundamentally change things to meet our objectives and to this end and then it will take place in europe will be decisive events. The second thing is to bring together our agendas and our actions. This is what i said yesterday. We cannot say that everything is fine and at the same time continue to depend on coal in so many countries. It is crucial that each and every country, with the assistance of the International Community with good financing understand there are limitations. Its important that each country move on and then its crucial that the major countries of this world stop financing new polluting in developing countries but we are continuing to export financing and there are so many projects in developing countries financed by developed countries that open up new polluting structure. We are saying to developing countries and the poorest countries, Climate Change is not a thing. You can continue to say it is all right in your country. That is irresponsible. Let us be clear. We need to involve all of our development banks. Ontoed to refocus sustainable development. Everywhere in asia, africa. The future of Energy Production is to move on from coal to no longer develop depend on this. In the same way, there is a need funds to build a climate that really meets these challenges. , there iseeks time the reconstitution of the climate fund and i would urge major partners here to provide crucial financing. There are many countries, including ourselves that have doubled our interest. Please take that commitment it commitment, it will be decisive. On this topic of consistency as i said yes today we can no longer have commercial strategies to that are promoting Free Exchanges just promote their own agenda consider Climate Change. I believe in having Free Exchang
