EU at UNGA 78: EU delegation to mobilize global action and reignite solidarity

A high-level delegation of the European Commission will attend the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly this week in New York. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Executive Vice President Maroš Šefčovič, High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell, Vice President Dubravka Šuica, and Commissioners Ylva Johansson, Janez Lenarčič, Jutta Urpilainen and Virginijus Sinkevičius will host and participate in events and meetings with leaders from around the world and hold several high-level bilateral meetings throughout the week.
The 78th session takes place against a backdrop of complex crises and conflicts, including Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and its global consequences, and the situation in the Sahel. The all-time high humanitarian needs, climate emergency, health crises, as well as the erosion of democracy and human rights worldwide are challenges that no country can address alone. Effective multilateralism is not a choice but the only option to ensure that no one is left behind.
The EU and its member states will focus on three main priorities at the General Assembly this year: accelerating the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), strengthening global governance, and building global partnerships to help achieve our common goals. These priorities will shape the EU's action at the UN for the coming year.
You can find information on the agendas and EU priorities in the press release, and in the factsheets on ‘EU-UN: A partnership that delivers' and on EU funding to the UN.
Press and audio-visual material will be available on EEAS, Europa, Consilium and Ebs.
