DOMINIC RAAB, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom, said that the United Nations has achieved many things since the General Assembly and the Security Council first convened in London 75 years ago.  Much remains to be done, however.  He emphasized that the international community has a moral duty to support those hit hardest by the COVID‑19 pandemic, alongside the opportunity to forge a greener and more sustainable future.  “We know that when we pull together, we can overcome the toughest challenges and achieve the most amazing things,” he said.  Nowhere is the need for cooperation greater than in tackling climate change, he said, noting that the United Kingdom will host the twenty-sixth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Glasgow next year.
