1. “Never has the world needed an effective multilateralism as much as we do now; as the Secretary-General has rightly put it, “This is the ultimate multilateral moment” (A/64/1, para. 4). Mongolia highly commends the strong leadership of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the effort to make this Organization the centre of the new multilateralism. We also applaud his unwavering commitment to mobilizing broad political support to address today’s pressing challenges. Thanks to his initiative, on the 22nd of this month we witnessed an unprecedented gathering of world leaders. That has provided the necessary political impetus for Copenhagen, and I was both humbled and honoured to 09-52470 12 serve as one of the co-chairs of the round tables. As a result, we have all agreed that in Copenhagen we must reach the long-awaited agreement.”

2. “Let me join others in extending our sincere congratulations to Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki on his unanimous election to preside over this session of the General Assembly. I am confident that under his able stewardship this session will mark an important milestone in meeting the formidable challenges of our times. And the challenges we face as a human family are unprecedented indeed. No nation, no country is immune to the ruthless grip of the multitude of global crises: economy and finance, fuel and food, flu pandemics and climate change. These and other global challenges require global solutions underpinned by a new multilateralism. Multilateralism that is effective, proactive and commensurate with today’s demands.”
