Message of the Secretary-General on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the membership of Armenia to the United Nations

I am pleased to congratulate the Government and people of Armenia on the  thirtieth anniversary of your membership to the United Nations.  

The date of 2 March 1992 is a special occasion for our Organization. About  5 per cent of all members of today’s United Nations joined on that single day. 

Over the past three decades, we have forged ever closer partnerships in  pursuit of peace, stability and social progress in the region and the world. Armenia has been an important supporter of the multilateral system, advancing the  Sustainable Development Goals and tackling global challenges. 

As we look to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, I trust that together  we can advance towards more resilient, sustainable and just societies.  

With solidarity, unity of purpose and a renewed spirit of dialogue,  compromise and reconciliation, we can confront the challenges before us and  realize the essential aspiration of our United Nations for peace, prosperity and  human rights for all.  

Thank you once again for your support to the United Nations over the past  three decades. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our ties in the years  ahead.
