guterres also called for strengthening multilateralism and reforming the un security council and the global financial architecture. he said that as emphasized in the compact for the future, addressing inequality requires accelerating reforms, while promoting sustainable development in the world and seriously addressing new issues brought about by the development of new technologies, including artificial intelligence.

the theme of this session of the un general assembly's general debate is "leaving no one behind: working together to promote peace, sustainable development and human dignity for present and future generations."
