António Guterres congratulates Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili on Independence Day

26-05-2025 21:10

António Guterres, the United Nations Secretary General, congratulated the Georgian President and the Georgian people on the occasion of Independence Day.

“Excellency, I extend my greetings on the occasion of Independence Day. National celebrations also offer moments to reflect on shared global challenges. The international community faces a glowing list of tests that require multilateral solutions - from the climate crisis, to conflicts, to rising inequalities.

This is precisely the spirit of the Pact for the Future. Adopted last year by the UN General Assembly, this landmark measure is rooted in the imperative to strengthen multilateralism and advanced peace, sustainable development and human rights for all. Once again I am pleased to convey my best wishes to the people of Georgia on this special day. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration”, - reads the letter of António Guterres.
