On Thursday, Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg addressed the Security Council Briefing on Cooperation between the UN and regional and subregional organisations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
During the intervention in his capacity as a representative of Malta, Borg stated that Malta, as a proud EU member, strongly supports enhanced cooperation between the European Union and the United Nations.
Borg explained how the European experiment that is the EU was born from the ashes of the Second World War and exemplifies the peace, stability, prosperity, and growth brought forth by multilateralism.
“In this midst, we have a responsibility to ensure that where possible regional and international organisations come together to provide that much needed convergence and collaboration,” the Minister stated.
Addressing the event, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell discussed how a rise in power politics has led to more distrust, point-scoring and vetos. The EU High Representative expressed that the price is being paid problems not solved, conflicts that fester and people left at the mercy of events.
Prior to expressing the EU’s commitment to peace and security, sustainable development and human rights, Borrell did state that we are facing a ‘global emergency’ and that the “United Nations and the multilateral systems are under threat like they never were before.”
