1
00:00:02.300 --> 00:00:10.460
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

2
00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:16.452
This year, the international community celebrates two,

3
00:00:16.452 --> 00:00:20.349
without exaggeration, historic anniversaries: the 75th anniversary 

4
00:00:20.349 --> 00:00:24.485
of the end of the Second World War and establishment 

5
00:00:24.485 --> 00:00:27.812
of the United Nations.

6
00:00:27.812 --> 00:00:31.600
The importance of these two forever interlinked events 

7
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:37.154
cannot be overemphasized.

8
00:00:37.154 --> 00:00:41.150
In 1945, Nazism was defeated, the ideology of aggression and hatred was crushed, 

9
00:00:41.150 --> 00:00:45.354
and the experience and spirit of alliance,

10
00:00:45.354 --> 00:00:49.990
as well as the awareness of the huge price that had been paid for peace 

11
00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:57.412
and our common Victory, helped construct the post-war world order.

12
00:00:57.412 --> 00:01:02.772
It was built on the ultimate foundation of the UN Charter that remains 

13
00:01:02.772 --> 00:01:08.185
the main source of international law to this day.

14
00:01:08.185 --> 00:01:12.905
I am convinced that this anniversary makes it incumbent upon all of us 

15
00:01:12.905 --> 00:01:17.039
to recall the timeless principles of inter-State communication 

16
00:01:17.039 --> 00:01:20.716
enshrined in the UN Charter and formulated by the founding fathers 

17
00:01:20.716 --> 00:01:25.473
of our universal Organization in the clearest and most unambiguous 

18
00:01:25.473 --> 00:01:30.278
terms. These principles include the equality of sovereign States,

19
00:01:30.278 --> 00:01:33.608
non-interference with their domestic affairs,

20
00:01:33.608 --> 00:01:36.553
the right of peoples to determine their own future,

21
00:01:36.553 --> 00:01:38.644
non-use of force or the threat of force,

22
00:01:38.644 --> 00:01:41.688
and political settlement of disputes.

23
00:01:41.688 --> 00:01:45.388
Looking back at the past decades,

24
00:01:45.388 --> 00:01:47.934
one can say that despite all difficulties of the Cold War period,

25
00:01:47.934 --> 00:01:52.787
major geopolitical shifts and all the intricacies of today's global 

26
00:01:52.787 --> 00:01:58.080
politics, the UN has been ably fulfilling its mission of protecting 

27
00:01:58.080 --> 00:02:03.720
peace, promoting sustainable development of the peoples and continents 

28
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.700
and providing assistance in mitigating local crises.

29
00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:13.760
This enormous potential and expertise of the UN is relevant and serves 

30
00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:20.017
as a solid basis for moving ahead.

31
00:02:20.017 --> 00:02:24.961
After all, just like any other international organization or regional 

32
00:02:24.961 --> 00:02:29.325
entity, the UN should not grow stiff,

33
00:02:29.325 --> 00:02:34.079
but evolve in accordance with the dynamics of the 21st century 

34
00:02:34.079 --> 00:02:37.815
and consistently adapt to the realia of the modern world that is indeed 

35
00:02:37.815 --> 00:02:44.485
becoming more complicated, multipolar and multidimensional.

36
00:02:44.485 --> 00:02:51.010
The current changes certainly have an effect on the principal UN body,

37
00:02:51.010 --> 00:02:54.505
the Security Council, as well as on the debate concerning 

38
00:02:54.505 --> 00:02:57.542
the approaches to its reform.

39
00:02:57.542 --> 00:03:00.492
Our logic is that the Security Council should be more inclusive 

40
00:03:00.492 --> 00:03:03.908
of the interests of all countries,

41
00:03:03.908 --> 00:03:07.743
as well as the diversity of their positions,

42
00:03:07.743 --> 00:03:12.298
base its work on the principle of the broadest possible consensus among 

43
00:03:12.298 --> 00:03:15.275
States and, at the same time, continue to serve as the cornerstone 

44
00:03:15.275 --> 00:03:18.268
of global governance, which cannot be achieved unless the permanent 

45
00:03:18.268 --> 00:03:21.612
members of the Security Council retain their veto power.

46
00:03:21.612 --> 00:03:25.856
Such a right pertaining to the five nuclear powers,

47
00:03:25.856 --> 00:03:29.044
the victors of the Second World War,

48
00:03:29.044 --> 00:03:31.708
remains indicative of the actual military and political 

49
00:03:31.708 --> 00:03:35.207
balance to this day. Most importantly,

50
00:03:35.207 --> 00:03:39.467
it is an essential and unique instrument that helps prevent unilateral 

51
00:03:39.467 --> 00:03:42.984
actions that may result in a direct military confrontation between 

52
00:03:42.984 --> 00:03:47.947
major States, and provides an opportunity to seek compromise 

53
00:03:47.947 --> 00:03:52.728
or at least avoid solutions that would be completely unacceptable 

54
00:03:52.728 --> 00:03:57.255
to others and act within the framework of international law,

55
00:03:57.255 --> 00:04:01.520
rather than a vague, gray area of arbitrariness and illegitimacy.

56
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.943
As diplomatic practice shows, this instrument actually works,

57
00:04:06.943 --> 00:04:11.896
unlike the infamous pre-war League of Nations with its endless 

58
00:04:11.896 --> 00:04:16.841
discussions, declarations without mechanisms for real action and with 

59
00:04:16.841 --> 00:04:19.558
States and peoples in need not having the right 

60
00:04:19.558 --> 00:04:22.796
to assistance and protection.

61
00:04:22.796 --> 00:04:27.401
Forgetting the lessons of history is short-sighted and extremely 

62
00:04:27.401 --> 00:04:32.167
irresponsible, just like the politicized attempts to arbitrarily 

63
00:04:32.167 --> 00:04:37.908
interpret the causes, course and outcomes of the Second World War 

64
00:04:37.908 --> 00:04:41.787
and twist the decisions of the conferences of the Allies 

65
00:04:41.787 --> 00:04:44.426
and the Nuremberg Tribunal that are based on speculation 

66
00:04:44.426 --> 00:04:46.415
instead of facts.

67
00:04:46.415 --> 00:04:48.605
It is not just vile and offending the memory 

68
00:04:48.605 --> 00:04:50.134
of the fighters against Nazism.

69
00:04:50.134 --> 00:04:53.584
It is a direct and devastating blow to the very foundation 

70
00:04:53.584 --> 00:04:56.713
of the post-war world order, which is particularly dangerous in view 

71
00:04:56.713 --> 00:05:00.622
of the global stability facing serious challenges,

72
00:05:00.622 --> 00:05:04.161
the arms control system breaking down,

73
00:05:04.161 --> 00:05:08.801
regional conflicts continuing unabated, and threats posed by terrorism,

74
00:05:08.801 --> 00:05:12.730
organized crime and drug trafficking intensifying.

75
00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:16.112
We are also experiencing a whole new challenge 

76
00:05:16.112 --> 00:05:18.734
of the coronavirus pandemic.

77
00:05:18.734 --> 00:05:22.295
This disease has directly affected millions of people and claimed 

78
00:05:22.295 --> 00:05:28.255
the most important thing: the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

79
00:05:28.255 --> 00:05:32.188
Quarantines, border closures, numerous serious troubles to citizens 

80
00:05:32.188 --> 00:05:40.035
of almost all States constitute the present-day realia.

81
00:05:40.035 --> 00:05:44.299
It has been especially difficult for elderly people who,

82
00:05:44.299 --> 00:05:46.815
due to the necessary restrictions,

83
00:05:46.815 --> 00:05:50.074
have not been able to hug their loved ones,

84
00:05:50.074 --> 00:05:53.054
children and grandchildren for weeks or even months.

85
00:05:53.054 --> 00:05:57.063
Experts are yet to fully assess the scale of the social and economic 

86
00:05:57.063 --> 00:06:02.352
shock caused by the pandemic and all its long-term consequences.

87
00:06:02.352 --> 00:06:06.407
However, it is already evident that it will take a really,

88
00:06:06.407 --> 00:06:09.169
really long time to restore the global economy.

89
00:06:09.169 --> 00:06:15.849
Furthermore, even the proven anti-crisis measures will not always work.

90
00:06:15.849 --> 00:06:20.469
We will need new innovative solutions.

91
00:06:20.469 --> 00:06:23.731
The only way to elaborate such solutions is to work together,

92
00:06:23.731 --> 00:06:29.501
which is the most important task for both the UN and G20 States,

93
00:06:29.501 --> 00:06:33.358
as well as other leading inter-State organizations and integration 

94
00:06:33.358 --> 00:06:38.097
associations that are also going through tough times due 

95
00:06:38.097 --> 00:06:43.448
to the pandemic impact and need fundamentally new horizons 

96
00:06:43.448 --> 00:06:46.662
and scope of development.

97
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:50.087
This very idea of a qualitative integrative growth,

98
00:06:50.087 --> 00:06:53.283
the ”integration of integrations“,

99
00:06:53.283 --> 00:06:57.369
is the one behind Russia's initiative to form a Greater Eurasian 

100
00:06:57.369 --> 00:07:00.823
Partnership involving all Asian and European countries without 

101
00:07:00.823 --> 00:07:06.069
exception. It is purely pragmatic and increasingly relevant.

102
00:07:06.069 --> 00:07:11.225
Besides, I would like to draw attention once again to Russia's proposal 

103
00:07:11.225 --> 00:07:17.036
to create so-called ”green corridors“ free from trade wars 

104
00:07:17.036 --> 00:07:22.381
and sanctions, primarily for essential goods, food,

105
00:07:22.381 --> 00:07:27.836
medicine and personal protective equipment needed to fight the pandemic.

106
00:07:27.836 --> 00:07:33.520
In general, freeing the world trade from barriers, bans,

107
00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:38.034
restrictions and illegitimate sanctions would be of great help 

108
00:07:38.034 --> 00:07:45.097
in revitalizing global growth and reducing unemployment.

109
00:07:45.097 --> 00:07:51.162
According to experts, total or partial reduction in global employment 

110
00:07:51.162 --> 00:07:57.030
in the second quarter of this year equals to the loss of 400 million 

111
00:07:57.030 --> 00:08:00.819
jobs, and we have to do our utmost to prevent this unemployment from 

112
00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:04.615
growing long-term and ensure that people return to work and can support 

113
00:08:04.615 --> 00:08:08.238
their families instead of finding themselves imprisoned 

114
00:08:08.238 --> 00:08:13.562
by poverty with no prospects in life.

115
00:08:13.562 --> 00:08:17.951
This is indeed a most acute global social problem,

116
00:08:17.951 --> 00:08:21.397
so the politics has a mission now to pave the way for trade,

117
00:08:21.397 --> 00:08:24.305
joint projects and fair competition,

118
00:08:24.305 --> 00:08:27.282
rather than tie the hands of business and discourage 

119
00:08:27.282 --> 00:08:29.057
business initiative.

120
00:08:29.057 --> 00:08:33.313
The pandemic has also pinpointed a series of ethical,

121
00:08:33.313 --> 00:08:36.149
technological and humanitarian matters.

122
00:08:36.149 --> 00:08:40.673
For instance, advanced digital technologies helped quickly reorganize 

123
00:08:40.673 --> 00:08:44.434
education, trade and services, as well as set up distant learning 

124
00:08:44.434 --> 00:08:48.931
and online courses for people of different ages.

125
00:08:48.931 --> 00:08:53.200
Artificial intelligence has assisted doctors in making more accurate 

126
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.060
and timely diagnoses and finding the best treatment.

127
00:08:57.060 --> 00:09:01.171
However, just like any other innovation,

128
00:09:01.171 --> 00:09:04.059
digital technologies tend to spread uncontrollably and,

129
00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:07.668
just like conventional weapons,

130
00:09:07.668 --> 00:09:11.461
can fall into the hands of various radicals and extremists not only 

131
00:09:11.461 --> 00:09:15.781
in the regional conflict zones, but also in quite prosperous countries,

132
00:09:15.781 --> 00:09:21.026
thus engendering enormous risks.

133
00:09:21.026 --> 00:09:25.368
In this regard, matters related to cybersecurity and the use 

134
00:09:25.368 --> 00:09:28.439
of advanced digital technology also deserve a most serious 

135
00:09:28.439 --> 00:09:31.445
deliberation within the UN.

136
00:09:31.445 --> 00:09:35.482
It is important to hear and appreciate the concerns of people over 

137
00:09:35.482 --> 00:09:39.385
the protection of their rights, such as the right to privacy,

138
00:09:39.385 --> 00:09:44.264
property and security, in the new era.

139
00:09:44.264 --> 00:09:48.721
We must learn to use new technologies for the benefit of humankind,

140
00:09:48.721 --> 00:09:52.504
seek for a right balance between encouraging the development 

141
00:09:52.504 --> 00:09:56.296
of artificial intelligence and justifiable restrictions to limit it,

142
00:09:56.296 --> 00:10:00.541
and work together towards a consensus in the field of regulation that 

143
00:10:00.541 --> 00:10:04.024
would avert potential threats in terms of both military 

144
00:10:04.024 --> 00:10:08.372
and technological security, as well as traditions, law,

145
00:10:08.372 --> 00:10:11.928
and morals of human communication.

146
00:10:11.928 --> 00:10:17.335
I would like to point out that during the pandemic, doctors,

147
00:10:17.335 --> 00:10:20.716
volunteers and citizens of various countries have been showing us 

148
00:10:20.716 --> 00:10:23.659
examples of mutual assistance and support,

149
00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:26.371
and such solidarity defies borders.

150
00:10:26.371 --> 00:10:30.798
Many countries have also been helping each other selflessly 

151
00:10:30.798 --> 00:10:35.998
and open-heartedly. However, there have been cases showing the deficit 

152
00:10:35.998 --> 00:10:40.601
of humanity and, if you will, kindness in the relations 

153
00:10:40.601 --> 00:10:43.758
at the official inter-State level.

154
00:10:43.758 --> 00:10:48.282
We believe that the UN prestige could strengthen and enhance the role 

155
00:10:48.282 --> 00:10:52.770
of the humanitarian or human component in multilateral and bilateral 

156
00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:58.346
relations, namely in people-to-people and youth exchanges,

157
00:10:58.346 --> 00:11:03.207
cultural ties, social and educational programs,

158
00:11:03.207 --> 00:11:07.619
as well as cooperation in sports, science, technology,

159
00:11:07.619 --> 00:11:10.675
environment and health protection.

160
00:11:10.675 --> 00:11:14.894
As to healthcare, just like in economy, we now need to remove,

161
00:11:14.894 --> 00:11:18.114
as many as possible, obstacles to partner relations.

162
00:11:18.114 --> 00:11:22.835
Our country has been actively contributing to global and regional 

163
00:11:22.835 --> 00:11:27.095
counter-COVID-19 efforts, providing assistance to most affected states 

164
00:11:27.095 --> 00:11:33.428
both bilaterally and within multilateral formats.

165
00:11:33.428 --> 00:11:38.184
In doing so, we first of all take into account the central coordinating 

166
00:11:38.184 --> 00:11:40.984
role of the World Health Organization,

167
00:11:40.984 --> 00:11:44.453
which is part of the UN system.

168
00:11:44.453 --> 00:11:47.873
We believe it essential to qualitatively strengthen the WHO capability.

169
00:11:47.873 --> 00:11:51.629
This work has already begun, and Russia is genuinely 

170
00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:53.759
motivated to engage in it.

171
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.604
Building on the scientific, industrial and clinical experience of its 

172
00:11:58.604 --> 00:12:03.082
doctors Russia has promptly developed a range of test systems 

173
00:12:03.082 --> 00:12:09.511
and medicines to detect and treat the coronavirus,

174
00:12:09.511 --> 00:12:16.253
as well as registered the world’s first vaccine, “Sputnik-V.”

175
00:12:16.253 --> 00:12:18.919
I would like to reiterate that we are completely open to partner 

176
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.831
relations and willing to cooperate.

177
00:12:21.831 --> 00:12:25.445
In this context, we are proposing to hold an online high-level 

178
00:12:25.445 --> 00:12:29.075
conference shortly for countries interested in cooperation 

179
00:12:29.075 --> 00:12:33.193
in the development of anti-coronavirus vaccines.

180
00:12:33.193 --> 00:12:38.090
We are ready to share experience and continue cooperating with all 

181
00:12:38.090 --> 00:12:42.006
States and international entities,

182
00:12:42.006 --> 00:12:46.075
including in supplying the Russian vaccine which has proved reliable,

183
00:12:46.075 --> 00:12:50.266
safe, and effective, to other countries.

184
00:12:50.266 --> 00:12:56.176
Russia is sure that all capacities of the global pharmaceutical 

185
00:12:56.176 --> 00:13:00.842
industry need to be employed so as to provide a free access 

186
00:13:00.842 --> 00:13:03.499
to vaccination for the population of all states 

187
00:13:03.499 --> 00:13:06.830
in the foreseeable future.

188
00:13:06.830 --> 00:13:10.198
A dangerous virus can affect anyone.

189
00:13:10.198 --> 00:13:14.628
The coronavirus has struck the staff of the United Nations,

190
00:13:14.628 --> 00:13:18.794
its headquarters and regional structures just like everyone else.

191
00:13:18.794 --> 00:13:23.791
Russia is ready to provide the UN with all the necessary qualified 

192
00:13:23.791 --> 00:13:29.172
assistance; in particular, we are offering to provide our vaccine,

193
00:13:29.172 --> 00:13:32.743
free of charge, for the voluntary vaccination of the staff 

194
00:13:32.743 --> 00:13:35.133
of the UN and its offices.

195
00:13:35.133 --> 00:13:39.572
We have received requests from our UN colleagues in this 

196
00:13:39.572 --> 00:13:43.052
respect, and we will respond to those.

197
00:13:43.052 --> 00:13:46.765
There are other critical items on today’s agenda.

198
00:13:46.765 --> 00:13:50.669
The issues of both environmental protection and climate change should 

199
00:13:50.669 --> 00:13:54.306
remain the focus of joint efforts.

200
00:13:54.306 --> 00:13:57.600
The specialized multilateral UN conventions,

201
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.289
treaties and protocols have proved fully relevant.

202
00:14:01.289 --> 00:14:05.723
We are calling on all states to comply with them in good faith,

203
00:14:05.723 --> 00:14:08.811
particularly in working to achieve the objectives 

204
00:14:08.811 --> 00:14:12.154
of the Paris Agreement.

205
00:14:12.154 --> 00:14:16.047
Dear colleagues! I would like to underline again,

206
00:14:16.047 --> 00:14:20.628
that Russia will make every effort to contribute to peaceful political 

207
00:14:20.628 --> 00:14:25.118
and diplomatic resolution of regional crises and conflicts,

208
00:14:25.118 --> 00:14:27.697
as well as to ensuring strategic stability.

209
00:14:27.697 --> 00:14:31.420
For all the disputes and differences,

210
00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:35.970
at times misunderstanding and even distrust on the part of some 

211
00:14:35.970 --> 00:14:39.342
colleagues, we will consistently advance constructive,

212
00:14:39.342 --> 00:14:44.415
uniting initiatives, first of all in arms control and strengthening 

213
00:14:44.415 --> 00:14:48.542
the treaty regimes existing in this area.

214
00:14:48.542 --> 00:14:54.118
This includes the prohibition of chemical, biological and toxin weapons.

215
00:14:54.118 --> 00:14:58.778
The issue of primary importance that should and must be promptly dealt 

216
00:14:58.778 --> 00:15:02.799
with is, of course, the extension of the Russia-US Strategic Arms 

217
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:07.833
Reduction Treaty, which will expire shortly,

218
00:15:07.833 --> 00:15:10.840
i.e. in February 2021.

219
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:15.402
We are engaged in negotiations with our US partners on the matter.

220
00:15:15.402 --> 00:15:18.954
We also expect that mutual restraint would be exercised with regard 

221
00:15:18.954 --> 00:15:21.135
to deploying new missile systems.

222
00:15:21.135 --> 00:15:24.016
I would like to add that as early as last year,

223
00:15:24.016 --> 00:15:28.942
Russia declared a moratorium on deploying ground-launched medium 

224
00:15:28.942 --> 00:15:33.044
and short-range missiles in Europe and other regions as long 

225
00:15:33.044 --> 00:15:39.435
as the United States of America refrains from such actions.

226
00:15:39.435 --> 00:15:43.640
Unfortunately, we have not received any reaction to our proposal from 

227
00:15:43.640 --> 00:15:46.295
either our US partners or their allies.

228
00:15:46.295 --> 00:15:51.239
I believe that such reciprocal steps on specific issues would provide 

229
00:15:51.239 --> 00:15:54.479
a sound basis for launching a serious,

230
00:15:54.479 --> 00:15:58.949
profound dialogue on the entire range of factors affecting 

231
00:15:58.949 --> 00:16:03.572
strategic stability. It would aim at achieving comprehensive 

232
00:16:03.572 --> 00:16:08.328
arrangements, shaping a solid foundation for the international security 

233
00:16:08.328 --> 00:16:12.597
architecture that would build on prior experience in this field 

234
00:16:12.597 --> 00:16:16.923
and in line with both the existing and future 

235
00:16:16.923 --> 00:16:20.622
politico-military and technological realia.

236
00:16:20.622 --> 00:16:26.016
In particular, Russia is putting forward an initiative to sign 

237
00:16:26.016 --> 00:16:30.548
a binding agreement between all the leading space powers that would 

238
00:16:30.548 --> 00:16:35.848
provide for the prohibition of the placement of weapons in outer space,

239
00:16:35.848 --> 00:16:40.773
threat or use of force against outer space objects.

240
00:16:40.773 --> 00:16:46.386
We are well aware of the fact that security issues as well as other 

241
00:16:46.386 --> 00:16:50.632
problems discussed by this jubilee UN General Assembly call 

242
00:16:50.632 --> 00:16:55.091
for consolidated efforts on the basis of values that unite us,

243
00:16:55.091 --> 00:17:00.145
our shared memory of the lessons of history,

244
00:17:00.145 --> 00:17:04.886
and the spirit of alliance which guided the anti-Hitler coalition 

245
00:17:04.886 --> 00:17:09.304
participants who found it possible to raise above differences 

246
00:17:09.304 --> 00:17:12.585
and ideological preferences for the sake of Victory 

247
00:17:12.585 --> 00:17:15.340
and peace for all nations on the Earth.

248
00:17:15.340 --> 00:17:18.755
In the current challenging environment,

249
00:17:18.755 --> 00:17:21.354
it is important for all countries to show political will,

250
00:17:21.354 --> 00:17:24.086
wisdom and foresight.

251
00:17:24.086 --> 00:17:27.475
The permanent members of the UN Security Council –

252
00:17:27.475 --> 00:17:32.302
those powers that, for 75 years now,

253
00:17:32.302 --> 00:17:35.615
have been bearing particular responsibility for international peace 

254
00:17:35.615 --> 00:17:38.984
and security, the preservation of the foundations 

255
00:17:38.984 --> 00:17:42.157
of international law – should take the lead here.

256
00:17:42.157 --> 00:17:44.885
Fully realizing this responsibility,

257
00:17:44.885 --> 00:17:48.144
Russia has suggested convening a G5 summit.

258
00:17:48.144 --> 00:17:52.614
It would aim at reaffirming the key principles of behavior 

259
00:17:52.614 --> 00:17:56.016
in international affairs, elaborating ways to effectively address 

260
00:17:56.016 --> 00:17:58.777
today’s most burning issues.

261
00:17:58.777 --> 00:18:02.799
It is encouraging that our partners have supported the initiative.

262
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.697
We expect to hold such summit – in person –

263
00:18:06.697 --> 00:18:10.485
as soon as epidemiological situation makes it possible.

264
00:18:10.485 --> 00:18:14.734
I would like to reiterate that in an interrelated,

265
00:18:14.734 --> 00:18:19.594
interdependent world, amid the whirlpool of international developments,

266
00:18:19.594 --> 00:18:23.356
we need to work together drawing on the principles and norms 

267
00:18:23.356 --> 00:18:26.789
of international law enshrined in the UN Charter.

268
00:18:26.789 --> 00:18:31.193
This is the only way for us to carry out the paramount mission of our 

269
00:18:31.193 --> 00:18:35.561
Organization and provide a decent life for the present 

270
00:18:35.561 --> 00:18:37.782
and future generations.

271
00:18:37.782 --> 00:18:42.669
I wish all the peoples of our planet peace and well-being.

272
00:18:42.669 --> 00:18:44.657
Thank you.
