Dear friends,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

United Nations Day is a chance to recognize how much this invaluable Organization contributes to peace and common progress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is a time to reflect on what more we can do to realize our vision for a better world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fighting in Syria is our biggest security challenge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Millions of people depend on UN humanitarian personnel for life-saving assistance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UN experts are working hand-in-hand with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to destroy Syria\u2019s stockpiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And we are pushing for a diplomatic solution to end suffering that has gone on far too long.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our most urgent development challenge is to make sustainability a reality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Millennium Development Goals have cut poverty in half.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now we must maintain the momentum, craft an equally inspiring post-2015 development agenda and reach an agreement on climate change.<\/p>\n

This year again, we saw the United Nations come together on armed conflict, human rights, the environment and many other issues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We continue to show what collective action can do.\u00a0 We can do even more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a world that is more connected, we must be more united.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On United Nations Day, let us pledge to live up to our founding ideals and work together for peace, development and human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
