Director General, Madam Bokova, <\/p>\n
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, <\/p>\n
I am truly honoured to address UNESCO. <\/p>\n
I feel specially privileged to visit this great institution in its 70th anniversary year. <\/p>\n
This milestone reminds us of a fundamental achievement of our age: for the first time in human history, we have an organization for the entire world the United Nations. <\/p>\n
And, through the sweeping change of these decades, through many challenges of our times, and the great progress of this era, the organization has endured and grown. <\/p>\n
There have been doubts and skepticism. There is need for urgent reforms. <\/p>\n
But, for the nations that came together at its birth; and, for three times as many that joined it later, there is one unshakeable belief: <\/p>\n
Our world is and will remain a better place because of the United Nations. <\/p>\n
It is this faith that has given birth to so many of its institutions that deal with every aspect of human challenges. <\/p>\n
