UN chief praises Pakistan’s
peacekeeping contributions
During his visit to Islamabad, he (Guterres) expressed his
sincere wishes that such talks are successful and lead to an Afghan-led peace
process,” Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement issued at UN
Headquarters in New York.
“He reiterated the United Nations’ readiness to provide any
assistance that the parties may require,’’ the statement added.
Last week , President Donald Trump said the US was close to
signing a deal with the Taliban to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, the
first time he has said so since talks fell apart last September, when both
sides were on the cusp of a deal. On Saturday, Afghanistan President Ashraf
Ghani voiced cautious optimism about a partial truce agreed between the Taliban
and US and said that a further announcement was expected in the coming 10 days.
Mr. Guterres stressed that over the next
year, the UN wants to make the voices of young people “count in the ways
decisions are made , in which strategies are established, policies are defined
and actions are implemented.”
He also stated that the aim is not merely a dialogue during
the Organization’s anniversary year, but “to establish within the UN mechanisms
of institutional dialogue and institutional participation allowing the youth to
have an influence in the way the UN shapes its interventions, decisions and
strategies”.
“And why is it so important that young people effectively
participate in the way we shape decisions today? The main reason for me is
because my generation has failed in many aspects, but they failed essentially,
in three basic questions that will determine the future,” said Mr. Guterres,
citing failures on climate change, on making globalization work for all, and in
making sure that new technologies are a force for good.
Finally, he said: "I believe that the youth must have a
fundamental voice, but not only a fundamental voice, a fundamental role in the
shaping of our common future. And I want to make the UN75 anniversary the
moment in which I will try to talk as little as possible and to listen as much
as possible.”
The Secretary-General wrapped up his time at the university
by listening to the gathered students and exchanging views with them on
issues such as human rights and climate change, and also about the important
role of the UN.
