(Translated faithfully from the Japanese text above.)
\n\u201cThank you very much for inviting me to this occasion. Amid the UN\u2019s 80th anniversary, as many pointed out today, the international situation is changing significantly. The existing international order is being challenged, and multilateralism is facing difficulties.
\nEven under such circumstances, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers it highly significant to have a forum like this. I carefully listened to the various views presented today. Thank you very much.
\nAt the General Debate during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week in September, then Prime Minister Ishiba posed the question, \u2018Is the UN currently fulfilling the role it ought to play?\u2019 He also called for \u2018solidarity over division\u2019 and \u2018tolerance over confrontation.\u2019 In the same speech, he emphasized the importance of Security Council reform. We regard it as highly significant that the \u2018Pact for the Future\u2019 adopted last September acknowledges the urgent need for such reform.
\nAgainst this backdrop, this year, on the UN\u2019s 80th anniversary, the Secretary-General\u2019s \u2018UN 80 Initiative\u2019 is under way. From the perspective of building a UN suitable for the 21st century, the Government recognizes this as an apposite initiative to enhance the UN\u2019s efficiency and effectiveness. As Director Nemoto mentioned earlier, 2026 marks the 70th anniversary of Japan\u2019s UN membership.
\nThe Government believes this is an opportunity for UN reform for both Japan and the international community. We intend to leverage this momentum and work steadfastly to strengthen the UN\u2019s functions\u2014including Security Council reform\u2014so that the Organization can fulfill its founding purpose: \u2018the maintenance of international peace and security.\u2019
\nGoing forward, the Government will continue to prioritize multilateral diplomacy centered on the UN. Based on the various opinions, suggestions, and guidance we received today, we aim to protect Japan\u2019s national interests while proactively contributing, as a major player in the international community, to the realization and maintenance of international peace and security as well as to addressing global challenges.
\nNot only today\u2019s discussion but also the many insights and proposals we have received from the World Federalist Parliamentary Committee of Japan will be taken into account as the Government proceeds. I would appreciate your continued guidance. Let me conclude by wishing the Committee even greater success and development. Thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
