Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Tuesday urged efforts to uphold the United Nations (UN) Charter and build a community based on international law.
Tokayev made the remarks in a video message to a high-level meeting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations.
“Multilateralism now is more vulnerable than ever since the end of the Cold War, as the world faces many new challenges and threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic and a new arms race,’’ Tokaev warned.
Tokayev, calling for continuous efforts to build a rules-based community instead of returning to lawlessness, stressed that the role of the UN as a single, universal and most representative international organisation is indispensable.
“Kazakhstan appreciates the strong leadership of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and supports his ongoing work to boost effectiveness, transparency and accountability of the UN,’’ said the president.
He added that his country will continue to devote to upholding the UN Charter and achieving the shared aspiration of building a more peaceful, just and prosperous world.
