Excellencies,
Distinguished Delegates,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Eritrea expresses its deep appreciation to the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations for convening this important meeting. The theme before us, “UNAOC: Two Decades of Dialogue for Humanity – Advancing a New Era of Mutual Respect and Understanding in a Multipolar World”, captures both the achievements of the past and the responsibilities of the present.
