  1. “Our lead contribution to United Nations peacekeeping operations is driven by the values we cherish as a nation in support of multilateralism and international peace and security. The meeting rose at 6.05 pm.”

  2. “Multilateralism has always been the mainstay of our foreign policy engagements and remains so on the basis of our sheer national, existential interest. The Sustainable Development Goals reinforce our national aspirations to build a peaceful, just and inclusive society by pursuing the comprehensive pathway to sustaining peace. In the aftermath of the recent episode of the Rohingya humanitarian crisis, Bangladesh has had no option but to seek recourse to the United Nations, and particularly the Council, for its custodianship of the crisis until a peaceful and lasting solution can be reached. Bangladesh will therefore remain an ardent champion of the United Nations, commensurate with our resolve to prepare ourselves for the emerging opportunities and challenges before our world.”

  3. “The multilateral process can be slow and painstaking, and yet it is worth all the efforts invested in it. There is no reason why globalization and multilateralism should stand in conflict with our sense of patriotism and nationalism, or why they should not draw strength from these to promote the common interest of all peoples around the world. Anyone who may have doubts about multilateralism should perhaps consider the case of Bangladesh. Thanks largely to multilateralism, a nation born with a war- ravaged economy and dismissed as a basket case has managed to withstand all odds and chart out a pathway for itself as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, lifting more than a million people out of poverty.”

  4. “We will need global responses to what will be essentially global challenges concerning the world of work, the planetary environment and security in new frontiers. It is critical that such global responses remain mindful of the discontents of those who consider themselves to be left out for one reason or another. Otherwise, there will be a growing temptation to take recourse to protectionism, isolation, intolerance and xenophobia. Such temptations and strategies can be politically expedient, but cannot be a viable solution for the alleged ailments of globalization. Instead of turning our back on global processes and discourses, it is crucial that we redouble our efforts to address the polarization that is yet again creeping into the multilateral context.”

  5. “Despite the United Nations limited results in managing conflicts, the Organization has emerged as the most reliable forum in which to raise concerns over the outbreak, escalation and recurrence of conflicts in any given situation. This has been guided by the values and principles the United Nations stands for, and not merely on the basis of its balance sheets of successes and failures. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, especially in the domains of information and biological technology, the conventional notion of humanity itself will be subject to new, challenging questions. These questions will continue to require the collective consideration of all humankind, and not just a select few.”

  6. “In our world today, multilateralism remains a critical guiding light for a rules-based order in the dark tunnels we often find ourselves in. Over the past 70 years, the international community has accustomed itself to a multilateral approach, centred on the United Nations, to addressing most of the pressing challenges of our times. This has been particularly relevant in the context of maintaining international peace and security. The Charter of the United Nations has emerged as the main reference point for the peaceful settlement of disputes and for adhering to a set of internationally agreed norms and principles during armed conflicts.”

  7. “Bangladesh thanks the Chinese presidency for convening today's open debate, and we appreciate the Secretary-General's introductory briefing. We also align ourselves with the statement made by the representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. During the high-level week of the seventy-third session of the General Assembly, we heard a resounding reaffirmation of multilateralism by most of our leaders. In tandem, they made a compelling case for the United Nations as a critical vehicle of multilateralism and underscored the need to make it fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. The word "reform" recurred as a common refrain, with much of the focus on the Security Council itself.”
