Mattarella: stop the spiral that aggravates the problems

(ANSA) – NEW YORK, 06 MAY – “At this moment we need to interrupt the spiral of action and reaction that makes the problems worse and does not allow them to be resolved”. The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, said this during the meeting at the Glass Palace with the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres. “I am here at the UN to testify once again how much Italy has confidence in the United Nations. The more crises, difficulties, conflicts and contrasts grow in the world, the more it becomes clear how much there is an indispensable need for UN action”, added Mattarella. “Italy is a fundamental pillar of multilateralism and an exemplary partner of the United Nations. In every area of ​​our activities, Italy is always present, in peacekeeping operations, in sustainable development, in climate protection, in human rights. It is very important to say this when Italy takes over the presidency of the G7”: Guterres said it. “This country – he continued – has always been a bridge between north and south, a bridge that is now more necessary than ever, when we live in a world where geopolitical divisions have created so many difficulties in all areas”. “It is very important to have Italy at the helm of the G7 – he continued – and to be able to achieve reforms of our multilateral institution which no longer represents the reality of the modern world”.
