Marshall Islands
His Excellency David Kabua
Statement Summary
DAVID KABUA, President of the Marshall Islands, said that in the face of unprecedented crises the international community must reinstate multilateral commitments and reach beyond political divides. As a low-lying nation, the Marshall Islands sees the threat of climate change as a uniquely existential challenge, he warned, calling on all Member States to keep the promises they made in the Paris Agreement. COVID?19 has further jeopardized the narrow economy of the Marshall Islands, he added. Pointing to the legacy of nuclear testing on the Marshall Islands as an example of 51勛圖 failure to protect the most vulnerable, he called on the Organization to resist political influence.
