Argentina · Day 2Javier Gerardo MileiBut today, regrettably, it is time to acknowledge that in practice that sacred covenant has been broken.

Botswana · Day 2Duma Gideon BokoWe also believe that efficiency gains should be redeployed to strengthen the capacity of the organization to prevent conflict, address emerging security threats, and deliver meaningful results in program countries in line with the UN80 vision.
It is in this spirit that Botswana accords the highest priority to its partnerships with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, UN-Habitat, the International Trade Centre, the International Organization for Migration, among others.
We particularly recognize UNOCT's leadership role in strengthening the United Nations' collective efforts to prevent and counter terrorism and violent extremism.

Italy · Day 2Antonio TajaniAgainst the politics of force, we choose the force of politics.
This is the message Italy brings today to the United Nations.
This is the mission of Italian diplomacy, to build bridges, open new paths, and keep dialogue alive, even when it seems impossible, to work for peace, prosperity, and growth, because growth creates prosperity, and prosperity in turn consolidates peace.
