UN Secretary-General António Guterres sent a video message to the Aswan Forum for Sustainable Peace and Development.
“Your theme this year reminds us of the need to re-envision global governance and amplify Africa’s voice and leadership on the world stage- including the UNSecurity Council and across the global financial system," he said, according to UN official page on 'X' platform.
“Above all, we need peace. We must strengthen our collaboration to safeguard human rights, counter terrorism and violence extremism and silence the guns across Africa," he added.
It is worth mentioing that, 4th edition of Aswan Forum kicked off on Tuesday.
The global event is attended by Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Chairperson of African Union (AU) Commision Moussa Faki Mahamat with UN high-level presence, including Jean-Pierre Lacroix, UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations.
