Liberia is concerned about the escalating security challenges in the West African region, including terrorism and economic and political instability.
UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Innate greed, insensitivity to the poor, the international drug epidemic, money laundering, dynamics of climate change and the impact of social media "must compel us to rethink our approach to global peace and security," Liberian President Joseph Boakai told the General Debate of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.
"Our vulnerabilities are evident, and we need to use our collective knowledge to find solutions that will preserve the planet for future generations," said the president.
"The threat of conflicts to our shared world underscores the importance of collaborative efforts to foster regional and global stability and peace," he noted, adding that the member countries must support all the UN's efforts to address peace and security issues worldwide.
"Liberia is concerned about the escalating security challenges in the West African region, including terrorism and economic and political instability," he said, noting that "these pose a significant threat to regional peace, so we urge full dialogue and cooperation among West African nations to address these issues effectively."
Liberia is dedicated to promoting sustainable growth and ensuring human dignity for all and prepared to work together with the United Nations, other global allies, and the international community to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals and establish a fair, peaceful, and sustainable world, he added. ■
