It is a year of years.<\/p>\n<p>We mark the eightieth anniversary of the United Nations \u2013 and celebrate the Charter\u2019s vision of peace, development and human dignity for all.<\/p>\n<p>Those three pillars of the UN Charter are central to the mission of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>We also have entered the final five years of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline we set ourselves is fast-approaching. We are getting close to 2030.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This moment demands renewed commitment: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to multilateralism and our foundational values.<\/li>\n<li>to bold action that benefits \u201c<strong>we the peoples<\/strong> \u201cof the United Nations.<\/li>\n<li>and robust partnerships committed to ensuring that indeed no one is left behind as we pursue a more safe, just, and equitable world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Your Excellencies, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 32 Landlocked Developing Countries have a population of 570 million people.<\/p>\n<p>Each of those countries has unique challenges. However, the aspirations of those 32 countries are universal.<\/p>\n<p>And the General Assembly has placed the needs of those countries high on its agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Just weeks ago, the Assembly proclaimed the International Day for the Awareness of Landlocked Developing Countries\u2019 Special Development Needs and Challenges.<\/p>\n<p>This Day will be observed annually on 6 August.<\/p>\n<p>I am glad to confirm that the General Assembly will continue to serve as the global platform to support landlocked developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>The General Assembly will do so through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The rigorous annual monitoring of the Awaza Programme of Action.<\/li>\n<li>The conduct of the high-level midterm review, scheduled for 2029.<\/li>\n<li>And the commitment to dialogue and cooperation, for which the Assembly is known.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Partnerships are at the heart of all these efforts. International cooperation is of decisive significance in our ambition to encourage multilateralism.<\/p>\n<p>Partnerships are a central feature of the <strong>Pact for the Future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the Pact\u2019s very first Action 1, leaders recognised that the 2030 Agenda is universal.<\/p>\n<p>And that all developing countries, including those that are landlocked, require enhanced, tailored support to achieve the <strong>Sustainable Development Goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We must be reminded that the <strong>Sustainable Development Goals<\/strong> are here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Development is a process that may have a short term, medium term and long term. Development does not happen overnight.<\/p>\n<p>In the last Action 55 of the Pact for the Future there is a pledge to strengthen partnerships to deliver on existing commitments and address new and emerging challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Awaza Programme of Action<\/strong> builds on this momentum, created by the <strong>Pact for the Future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Pact acknowledges the steep development hurdles landlocked developing countries face due to their structural and geographic constraints.<\/p>\n<p>Guided by the principles of the United Nations Charter, it calls for greater international and multilateral cooperation to reach the furthest behind.<\/p>\n<p>And the Pact demands decisive action to forge stronger partnerships:<\/p>\n<p>1<sup>st<\/sup><sub>.<\/sub> Among landlocked and transit countries,<\/p>\n<p>2<sup>nd<\/sup><sub>.<\/sub> Across the United Nations system,<\/p>\n<p>3<sup>rd<\/sup><sub>.<\/sub> And with all relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>In the days ahead, let us move beyond words.<\/p>\n<p>The achievements we seek such as, \u2013 regional agricultural research hubs, and a dedicated infrastructure investment finance facility are attainable.<\/p>\n<p>Such results must be pursued during the General Assembly\u2019s 80<sup>th<\/sup> session.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, recommendations for freedom of transit must lead to real improvements on the ground, in accordance with the applicable rules of international law.<\/p>\n<p>Such recommendations are fundamental to the freedom of transit in all parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>International Court of Justice<\/strong> advisory opinion in July 2025 adds strength to the goals set out in the <strong>Awaza Programme of Action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The said advisory opinion is important, especially because landlocked developing countries are vulnerable to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time to translate the five priority areas of the <strong>Awaza Programme of Action<\/strong> into 193 national policies, driven by a unified global effort.<\/p>\n<p>We all realize that for this process to succeed, it must be Members-State-driven.<\/p>\n<p>This Conference must send a clear message: that geography does not determine destiny.<\/p>\n<p>Landlocked developing countries lack direct access to the sea. It is not the fault of those landlocked countries that they do not have access to the sea.<\/p>\n<p>But those countries must never lack access to opportunity, prosperity or hope.<\/p>\n<p>The international Community must make sure that such countries have access to opportunities, prosperity, hope and dreams and unlimited imaginations.<\/p>\n<p>The road to a brighter future does indeed run through partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Let us walk that road together.<\/p>\n<p>With urgency, unity, and determination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* *****<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharon Birch, Spokesperson for the President of the General Assembly, Tel: +1 212 963 0564, M: +1 646 342 5873, Email: <a href=\"mailto:birchs@un.org\">birchs@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mariam Shaikh, Adviser\/ Social and Digital Media\/Media Relations, M: +1 917 3614990, Email: <a href=\"mailto:mariam.shaikh@un.org\">mariam.shaikh@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More Information and Updates\u00a0: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/79\/\">Website<\/a>: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40UNPGA&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860121070%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2tI4OJC4%2Fzp2u%2FC%2BVUSiGXT44oUDvdtQGso7JKw%2FzzQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">YouTube: <\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FUN_PGA&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860141494%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=5PiWPZ41LtMrNJMkQAxp8KbQcacg%2F%2FnN%2FWtmVUr875U%3D&amp;reserved=0\">X (Twitter):<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Funpga&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860156394%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=cdt2tM7omusETFdqpZSlMlMXUiRCpJZ8Xuo276SNTLI%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Instagram<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fun-pga79%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860169802%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=xxB%2BNQMaveJUhSGl%2BwKRCCx%2B3PGGLl%2F2LHNie4fKdmQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">LinkedIn: <\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopga79.imgbb.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860183154%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=X8EcPfLVoJLTqn5wfh0TDLqUmgdua0478MCnAr1U85s%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Photo Repository<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%2Fprofile%2Funpga.bsky.social&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmariam.shaikh%40un.org%7C990ae76b953c42920c4708ddce11c1bd%7C0f9e35db544f4f60bdcc5ea416e6dc70%7C0%7C0%7C638893297860196756%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=e4mOFesZfcQ%2FWRFTaR%2Fxk%2BwgnuyOHzCgSOVKUgV3IhI%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Bluesky<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/79\/weekly-highlights-2\/\">Weekly Highlights<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/ga\/79\/resolutions.shtml\">Resolutions of the 79th Session \u2013 UN General Assembly<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remarks by the President of the UN General Assembly H.E.
