September 22 (BTA) - In a video address to the
76th session of the UN General Assembly, Bulgarian President
Rumen Radev said that Bulgaria will continue to work for
efficient United Nations, adequately prepared to respond to the
needs of humanity in the 21st century.

"The raging Covd-19 pandemic in many parts of the world and
several mostly unprecedented global challenges we are facing at
the very same time raise the need for all countries to support a
 more effective and coherent rules-based multilateral approach
with the United Nations system at its core. Multilateralism is
the key to our future and has no alternative," Radev said.

According to the Bulgarian head of State, the most urgent tasks
ahead of the UN are to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, to
 focus on the global economic recovery, decreasing growing
economy disparities, to accelerate progress in climate change
and sustainable development, to combat terrorism and
trans-border crime, as well as enhancing cybersecurity.

Radev then spoke about the most pressing issues on the global
agenda, including the availability of coronavirus vaccines, the
situation in Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, refugees, and human
 rights. ZH
