Arrived in New York 🇺🇸 on the eve of the #UNGA Ministerial Week, the world's largest diplomatic gathering. Belgium reaffirms our commitment to three core priorities: championing human rights, resolving crises and conflicts, and upholding an international order rooted in justice.

Kick off of the 78th session of #UNGA with António Guterres, UN GA President and others addressing the Assembly.

In an era marked by conflicts, violations of basic human rights and growing rifts among major nations, the significance of #multilateralism has never been greater. 🕊️🇺🇳

We are closely following the events in #NagornoKarabakh . The only valid path to peace is through dialogue and compromise. Belgium calls for de-escalation and a political solution that takes into account the well-being of the population.
