Statement 19 April 2021
Mr. President,
I would like to thank Viet Nam for organising today’s debate, highlighting the critical need to co-operate in support of conflict prevention and resolution.
Like others, I also offer my solidary to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
I would also like to thank Secretary General Guterres, and former Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who have spoken eloquently about the unique partnerships between the UN and regional organisations.
I welcome the adoption of a Presidential Statement on this important issue.
Mr. President,
In Ireland, we do not have to look far beyond our shores to see the impact of regional organisations in building and sustaining peace.
