Statement of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, H.E. Mr. Nikos Christodoulides at the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly
UN Headquarters
24 September 2025
Madame President,
Ladies and gentlemen,
We stand at the brink of a precipice.
International order, as we know it, is challenged in an unprecedented manner, 80 years since the United Nations emerged out of World War II.
Today, we stand before drastic, unpredictable geopolitical shifts.
Instability that appears to spiral.
An unchartered landscape that seems resistant to the international order and norms as we know them.
We are witnessing devastating wars and unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe and human suffering,
