しんちゃんに「はいバースデー！」とDiorをポンと渡された。駐車場にて発狂。うれしい…♡

September 21, 2020: King Felipe sent a video congratulating the UN on its 75th anniversary. 

Your Excellencies Heads of State and Government, Mr President of the General Assembly, dear Secretary General, Greetings from Spain and It is truly an honor and a plesure to speak to you on this day.

On this day when we solemnly commemorate the 75th anniversary of the creation of the United Nations, I want to share with you several ideas, feelings and convictions.

On one hand, a feeling of gratitude. It is difficult to imagine what the world would be like today without the United Nations. It has been fulfilling a demanding mandate for 75 years, constantly addressing difficulties and challenges; a long period that has made the Organization the benchmark for the maintenance of international peace and security, for development and for the protection of human rights that it is today.

For this reason, my first words are of congratulations and gratitude for all those people who gave birth to it and for whom they have worked for seven and a half decades in their noble task, even sometimes giving their lives for the ideals that sustain it. Thanks with all my heart.

Along with due gratitude, I must emphasize our conviction about the need for the greatest union. Indeed, we need more United Nations and nations more united.

Because of the pandemic, Humanity is experiencing an unprecedented global crisis that puts our countries and the United Nations system to the test, but also shows how necessary structured international cooperation is in an increasingly smaller world.

The response to current challenges requires a strengthened, more inclusive and improved multilateralism that facilitates collaboration between state actors and civil society and that results in a real, positive and tangible impact on people's lives.

Finally, I would like to underline the idea of ​​commitment, which is fundamental to the fulfillment of the purposes of our Organization. Spain will continue to be, within the framework of the European Union, a loyal member of the United Nations and a reliable partner of its Member States.

We will maintain an active commitment that promotes concrete actions in areas such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda, the promotion of human rights and gender equality, the construction of peace or the protection of the environment.

Also, of course, in the fight against terrorism, in the fight so that serious crimes against Humanity do not go unpunished, or in humanitarian action based on principles and the protection of the most vulnerable; as well as the necessary digital and ecological transitions that we must all address.

I hope that this brief and sincere message, which reflects the feelings of the Spaniards, serves to recognize the work of the United Nations as the universal Organization that its founders projected, the common home of Humanity, and to encourage it to continue and persevere in the noble mission to make it possible to improve people's lives.

Today all the Heads of State and Government who make up this General Assembly have adopted a solemn Declaration that marks the future we want for our peoples.

Let's make it a reality always thinking of the whole of society, of the common good of humanity. Count on Spain in this endeavor.
