“COVID-19 will have to not blind us. On the contrary, we will have to open our eyes to the weaknesses that this pandemic has exposed to our models of society, for example,” he said in a pre-recorded statement.
Because of the pandemic, the annual debate of heads of state and government in the United Nations General Assembly Hall is necessarily virtual.
Prime Minister Wilms highlighted the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on others who are already suffering greatly from inequality, such as women, girls, children, the elderly and others with disabilities.
“As we continue to fight this pandemic with strength and determination and its consequences, we turn our backs on the other situations of primary demand we face in the 21st century,” he continued.
“Geopolitical tensions are palpable and conflicts are breaking out or threatening to arise around the world. These tensions are simply exacerbated through the existing adequacy scenario and jeopardize the balances achieved in our world.
For Wilms, the situation in the Gulf remains very worrying and he called on the foreign network to “actively seek to preserve” the 2015 agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
The agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Programme of Action (JCPOA), establishes regulations for monitoring the programme and ensures that the UN nuclear control body, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will normally normal at the country’s sites.
“THE JCPOA remains to ensure the exclusively non-violent nature of Iran’s nuclear program,” he said.
The Prime Minister also wants peace in the Middle East.
“There cannot be a solution to the confrontation in the Middle East without a lasting and just solution to the Palestinian question. There can be no peace in the Middle East without Israel having the valid right to live in peace and security across the world identified borders. There can be no peace in the Middle East if we don’t do terrorism,” he said.
By settling in the Sahel, Ms. Wilms condemned the army’s recent coup in Mali and handed over her country’s full efforts to regionals and nationals for civil transition and the recovery of constitutional order.
Many of the demanding situations Mali faces are not unusual in the region, such as terrorism, conflicts between farmers and herders and tensions between communities, he added, calling for a “holistic approach” to combat violent extremism.
“Such a technique should focus on smart governance, combating impunity, strengthening democratic institutions, handling complaints from marginalized groups, and sustainable and inclusive development,” he advised.
Meanwhile, more and more regions of the world are suffering the consequences of climate change. He said other people are being driven from their homes due to drought and “abnormal weather conditions” in countries such as Somalia, Yemen and Afghanistan.
“Climate emergency is a challenge for peace. There’s no time to waste,” he says, “and it’s a cause we’ll all have to support. “
