RA PRIME MINISTER’S SPEECH AT 60TH SESSION OF UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
ENVISAGED ON SEPTEMBER 16
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. A high-level
plenary meeting of the 60th session of the United Nations General
Assembly started in New York on September 14. More than 170 heads of
states and governments, including Andranik Margarian, the Prime
Minister of the Republic of Armenia, participate in the summit of this
authoritative organization. RA Prime Minister arrived in New York on
September 12.
As Noyan Tapan was informed by the Government’s Information and Public
Relations Department, at this jubilee session of the UN General
Assembly, which is chaired by Jan Eliason, the former Permanent
Representative of Sweden at the UN, such themes as anti-terrorism
struggle, the world and security, protection of the human rights,
Millennium Challenges, issues connected with the international right,
necessity of reforms of the UN governance system, issues of education,
accessibility of health care, poverty, atomic energy, refugees,
problems of women and children, issues of climate change and
environment, drinking water and other issues the world community is
anxious about are envisaged to be discussed. Before the opening of the
session, the delegates discussed for a rather long time the draft
document of the three-day summing up summit to be presented to the
participants, that’s why the opening was held a few hours later than
it was envisaged. RA Prime Minister’s speech is also envisaged at the
UN session on September 16.
