Addressing the closing session of the Summit following the adoption of the landmark Pact for the Future on Sunday, Phil谷mon Yang, President of the 79th session of the General Assembly, expressed hope that the ideas exchanged would inspire further initiatives at national, regional and the global levels.

※As we close the Summit of the Future, I urge all Member States to continue to push for decisive action and to create meaningful progress,§ he said.

He reminded delegates not to lose sight of ongoing global challenges like poverty, hunger, and the suffering of those caught in conflicts, violence, and deprivation.

World leaders are at UN Headquarters in New York where they adopted the potentially game-changing Pact for the Future by consensus - with a small group of just seven countries holding out, having failed to pass a last-minute amendment. The centrepiece of the Summit of the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the multilateral system and steer humanity on a new course to meet existing commitments and solve long-term challenges.
