UN chief Guterres on priorities ahead of UNGA

UN chief Guterres on priorities ahead of UNGA UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said "the world really needs to turn around" in aspects including geopolitical division, climate change, the pandemic and inequality.

António Guterres, UN Secretary-General said "The geopolitical divisions that we are witnessing today are terrible when the world is facing climate change, when the world is facing the perspective of other pandemics and the COVID is not yet been solved, when the world is facing high levels of inequality between developed countries and developing countries and huge inequality inside countries, when the world needs to really turn around in all these aspects, we need unity. We need cooperation, we need dialogue. And the present geopolitical divides are not allowing it to happen. We need to change course."

He also focused on funding education as a way to ease the gaps in equality. He added that is necessary to provide debt-relief mechanisms for countries badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
