“At a time of intense geopolitical challenges, our country remains committed to the principles and values of the Charter and to the three Ds — Dialogue, Diplomacy, Democracy — as I stressed at the official presentation of Greece’s bid (16/3/2023) to be elected as a non-permanent member of the Security Council”, the Minister of National Defence, Nikos Dendias, said in a post on social media platform X, marking 81 years since the UN Charter entered into force.
He noted that this year’s anniversary coincides with Greece taking over the presidency of the Security Council.
“And it is important that, thanks in part to our country’s election to the Security Council, Greece has a say in the election of the next UN Secretary-General”, Mr Dendias concluded.
