Statement of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, H.E. Mr. Nikos Christodoulides at the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly
UN Headquarters, 24 September 2026
Mr. President,
Excellencies,
As the UN Secretary-General reminded us a few years ago, “The United Nations is the product of HOPE.”
Eighty-one years after its birth, that HOPE is being tested.
Technology, including Artificial Intelligence, is advancing at rapid speed. Climate change is reshaping our societies. The international landscape is becoming more complex, more contested and more unpredictable.
The international order is not simply changing. It is being tested in an unprecedented manner.
