17 September 2025, at Press Briefing, President of UN General Assembly – Annalena Baerbock told reporters; ‘Better Together’ is the theme to guide the work of the 80th session United Nations General Assembly. No single nation, regardless of its size, might, or wealth, can confront the facing challenges alone. The year’s priorities include advancing the UN80 reform agenda, strengthening the organization’s effectiveness, and guiding the selection of the next Secretary-General. Mme. Baerbock highlighted the need to build on the Pact for the Future and regain momentum on the SDGs. Yes, we are at a crossroads – a make-or-break moment; our fore-bearers had the humility and grace to put aside their differences and work together in 1945. Now, the time is ours to manifest the current works in the same principled conviction.
Consequently, it needs governments to fulfill their speeches with tangible commitments. If we want to make our United Nations stronger, then we would need commitments from all governments around the world, urging parliaments to consider UN funding alongside global priorities such as peace and security, climate action, human rights, and sustainable development. She confirms these issues would guide her bilateral meetings with heads of state during the high-level week.
