UNITED NATIONS -- It is in the interest of everybody to have a global compromise, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday.
Guterres made the remarks at a press conference held ahead of the high-level week of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
"My appeal to world leaders will be clear," Guterres said."This is not a time for posturing or positioning. This is not a time for indifference or indecision. This is a time to come together for real, practical solutions. It is time for compromise for a better tomorrow." The world leaders are gathering at a time when humanity faces huge challenges, from the worsening climate emergency to escalating conflicts, the global cost-of-living crisis, soaring inequalities and dramatic technological disruptions, said Guterres.
A multipolar world is emerging. While multipolarity can be a factor of equilibrium, it can also lead to escalating tensions, fragmentation and worse, Guterres noted.
