The UN General Assembly begins on Tuesday, at the same time as the organization celebrates its anniversary. King Carl XVI Gustaf says that even though the state of the world is difficult, there is a chance for the UN to play a greater role than before.
There are many conflicts around the world, we are all aware of that. But if this had not existed, we would not have known what the world would have looked like, it may have been even worse.
The King emphasizes the UN's role as a world forum where all countries can meet.
There is a forum, after all, that has done a lot. If we solve problems together, then we have hope for the future.
Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue, that's what we can work with.
