The developments of global politics and economics in recent years have once again highlighted the fact that the challenges we face today in a globalised world cannot be tackled exclusively by a single state. Global economic and financial crisis, climate change, international terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, social and economic underdevelopment, energy and food insecurity, migration and global pandemics are all problems that increase the importance of widespread multilateral cooperation and the work of the concerned international organisations.
Hungary believes that the role and significance of the United Nations will only increase if its Member States manage to identify the issues that are best handled in the framework of the world organisation and carry out effectively all the institutional reforms that are necessary to reach this goal.
