Uruguay
Orsi Called at the UN to Open Spaces for Dialogue and Give Peace a Chance
The Uruguayan president spoke before the United Nations General Assembly and questioned a world conditioned by a handful of countries. He also said Uruguay does not seek to align itself in conflicts, but rather to promote peaceful solutions.
Uruguay’s president, Yamandú Orsi, spoke this Thursday before the United Nations General Assembly and called for giving “peace a chance,” according to Subrayado.
In his remarks, Orsi questioned that the world remains hostage to the will of a few countries and said that hope lies in learning and building peace. In that vein, he warned that “fire does not need more fuel” and insisted on using the international forum to open a peaceful way out.
He also said that the UN is more relevant today than ever, although he argued that it must adapt to political changes and be strengthened with effective support and decisions that are respected.
Regarding Uruguay’s position in the face of conflicts, he said that his country does not believe that taking one side or the other in a war or dispute helps resolve it. According to Subrayado, he stressed that the Uruguayan path is to create spaces for dialogue and contribute to a peaceful solution, and clarified that this does not imply indifference.
He also said that the world needs to recover humility. As an example, he cited a Uruguayan expression to sum up coexistence: “nobody is more than anyone else.” In that context, he said that no nation has a monopoly on solutions and that no people should live under a model imposed from outside.
