The value of solidarity as a driving force in Asia and the Pacific

By Ioan Voicu - posted Wednesday, 7 July 2021


A similar request was addressed to the Executive Secretary to facilitate the implementation of the resolution entitled "Building back better from crises through regional cooperation in Asia and the Pacific" and to report to the Commission at its seventy-eighth session in 2022 on progress thereon.

In this complex process, the guiding light should be the truth cogently formulated by the UN Secretary General António Guterres according to whom "Solidarity is humanity. Solidarity is survival."

Let's hope that in 2022 regional diplomacy practiced in the area of Asia and the Pacific will do its best to give tangibility to this truth.

As António Guterres secures from 2022 a second term as UN Secretary-General, his very recent calls for new era of "solidarity and equality" should be taken most seriously by the whole world community of nations during the current era of global vulnerabilities , perplexities and discontinuities.

In a spirit of solidarity, ESCAP, the largest UN regional commissions , is expected to have an important role to play in materializing the collective commitments of all its members and associate members, as formulated during its 77th session.
