Bolivia
Good afternoon everyone and I would like to welcome, in the back of the room, the members of the 2019 UN Programme for Training Palestinian Journalists. Welcome.
You all have seen that over the weekend we’ve issued a couple of statements on Bolivia.
In light of the developments there, including the resignation of President Evo Morales, the Secretary-General reiterated his appeal to all Bolivians to refrain from violence and to the authorities to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, government officials and foreign nationals. He also called for respect for state and local institutions, as well as the inviolability of diplomatic missions.
Both statements were sent to you.
Secretary-General
The Secretary-General arrived in Paris, where he is now delivering remarks at the Paris Peace Forum.
In his remarks, he will outline five areas where we are seeing a growing fissure in today’s world. He will say that in a troubled and fractured world, now, more than ever, we need strong multilateral institutions adapted to the challenges of today and tomorrow. And he will add that we need to show greater global solidarity in a world where people are yearning to be heard.
Following the speech, the Secretary-General will have a bilateral meeting with President Emmanuel Macron.
Tomorrow, he will address the opening of UNESCO’s general conference in Paris before heading back to the United States.
