For 81 years, the United Nations has given the world a place to come together across differences and act on challenges no country can solve alone.
This #UNDay, I remain as convinced as ever that this institution and the values it stands for are indispensable.
Deeply grateful to our @UN family around the world, whose dedication and courage bring the promise of our Charter to life every day.
