The president of Romania Klaus Iohannis takes part in the UN General Assembly in New York, and is to attend the summit on Sustainable Development Goals. In his address, Mr. Iohannis will reiterate Romania’s firm support for efficient multilateralism, compliance with international law and a rule-based international order. According to Radio Romania’s correspondent, the General Assembly session is affected by global divisions, deepened by recurrent crises and in particular by Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend the meeting for the first time since the war in his country started, and is to address today leaders from around the world present in New York. The US president Joe Biden will also give his traditional speech before the Assembly and will plead for stronger action to fight global warming, and for continuing support to Ukraine for as long as necessary.
