SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVELS
The Secretary-General today is in Central Asia and he arrived in Kazakhstan. In the morning, in Almaty, he saw a presentation by the Central Asian Regional Glaciological Center, which collaborates with UNESCO, on the risks related to the melting of the Central-Asian glaciers.
The Secretary-General also had a meeting with the UN Country Team before heading to Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. Soon after arrival, he met with the President, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. They discussed UN-Kazakh cooperation, including the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Summit of the Future, as well as regional integration in Central Asia.
The Secretary-General thanked the President for his leadership on nuclear disarmament and peace initiatives, and for the government’s support to the UN, including the provision of premises for the United Nations in Almaty.
Today, he also had a meeting with the Minister for External Affairs of the Republic of India, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will deliver remarks at the Shanghai Cooperation council Plus session, which is taking place at the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organization] Summit. He is expected to highlight the need to reaffirm our common commitment to multilateralism based on the UN Charter, international law, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, noting that the central goal of our multilateral system must be peace.
He is also expected to warn that today’s deep global divisions are an obstacle to progress on two existential threats: the climate emergency and digital technologies. The Secretary-General will highlight that the failure of countries to unite for solutions to common challenges reflects a deeper dysfunction in our world, and that multilateralism is falling back.
Later in the afternoon, the Secretary-General will head off to Tajikistan.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
This evening, the Deputy Secretary-General will travel to Brazzaville, at the invitation of the government of the Republic of Congo, to take part in the First International Conference on Afforestation and Reforestation. The conference will focus on global approaches to reverse the loss of forest cover and enhance international cooperation on sustainable forest management.
During her visit, she will meet with senior government officials from the Republic of Congo and the region, as well as the African Union, and other stakeholders attending the meeting.
She will also visit the UNESCO-recognized national park, the Conkouati-Douli National Park along with government officials, to bring attention to the importance of biodiversity conservation, research, community involvement and eco-tourism as catalysts for a green transition towards sustainable development.
We will have her back in New York on 7 July.
SECURITY COUNCIL
This morning, the Security Council met on Haiti. The head of the UN political mission in Haiti, Maria Isabel Salvador, briefed the Council and told its members that the country is making headway toward restoring democratic institutions through enhanced security and credible elections.
She said the first deployment of Kenyan police officers for the Multinational Security Support Mission is an important step and brings renewed hope for the people of Haiti. However, on the security front, she reminded Council members that the alarming levels of violence remain a source of great concern.
Within its mandate, the UN mission will continue to support the transitional authorities in key areas that include elections, constitutional reform, police development, enhanced political dialogue and justice, and community violence reduction.
As we move forward, Ms. Salvador said there is also an opportunity to reinvigorate the UN political mission and reposition its role in the current context.
As the Support mission continues to deploy, she added that the establishment of a coordination mechanism will be critical to promote complementarities, exchange information, and devise effective communication strategies.
She also renewed our appeal to all Member States to ensure the multinational support mission receives the sustained financial support it needs to succeed.
