Premier Giorgia Meloni on Monday said
Italy supports multilateralism, addressing the Summit of the
Future as part of the 79th General Assembly of the United
Nations.
"We are experiencing a time of crisis, however crises always
hide a great opportunity.
"After all, the word crisis comes from Greek" and means "choice,
decision: crises force us to question ourselves, take a
position, don't allow us to falter", she explained.
"No state can govern the crises of our time, for this reason
Italy is a convinced supporter of multilateralism and of its
most representative institution which is the UN, in which each
voice is heard: the place in which we are called to learn,
understand and respect one another", the premier told the UN's
Summit of the future.
The premier also highlighted Italy's position on a reform of the
UN Security Council, noting that it must abide by the principles
of equality, democracy and representativity.
"The reform makes sense if it is made for everybody and not
just for some", she said.
"We are not interested in creating new hierarchies and we don't
believe there are first and second class nations.
"There are nations with their histories, their peculiarities
and their citizens who all have the same rights because they are
born free and equal as individuals", she noted.
