Speech given by Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson Iceland´s Minister for Foreign Affairs at the UN General Assembly 2018

gudlaugur thor2Madame President,

The United Nations has played a critical role in promoting peace and development for all. Most indices, measuring human development tell a positive story - a story of our shared success. It is a story we should tell more often.

Technological advances and social and economic progress, we never envisioned, have become a reality. This gives us hope that mankind can once again prove that no challenge is too big to overcome - that we are right to dream big.
