In a stirring address at the United Nations "Summit of the Future" held at the UN Headquarters in New York, Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo made a passionate call for global unity, urging world leaders to adopt multilateral solutions to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change, inequality, and global governance reform.
Speaking to an assembly of Heads of State, government officials, and delegates from around the world, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the urgency of collective action, stating that the future is no longer distant but is here and now, shaped by the decisions made in this crucial moment. "Our theme, 'Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow,' reminds us that no nation, no matter how powerful, can solve today's challenges alone," the President remarked.
He highlighted the global nature of current crises, from the climate emergency to terrorism, noting that these problems transcend national boundaries and require global cooperation.
President Akufo-Addo's speech strongly condemned the resurgence of "irrational isolationism and blind nationalism" in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
