Outgoing Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the need for a stronger UN capable of addressing global issues such as war, inequality, climate change, and artificial intelligence. The new leader must pursue reforms to modernize the UN, restore its relevance, and navigate complex international dynamics amid calls for greater inclusivity and effectiveness.
