Multilateralism, a priority for France

The UN system is a unique instrument for dealing collectively, through dialogue and discussion, with the challenges that concern us all and which can only be resolved at the international level: peace and international security, terrorism, development, human rights, health, education, the climate, migrations.

President Macron reaffirmed this conviction when he told the General Assembly on September 19 that “the challenge today, for our generation, is to rebuild that multilateralism. It is to explain that today, in the current state of the world, there is nothing more effective than multilateralism".
