Colombian President Gustavo Petro addressed the UN Security Council, vehemently opposing proposals to remove Colombia from the United Nations. He also criticized suggestions to dismantle the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS). Petro’s remarks came as he began his agenda in the United States, where Colombia will assume the presidency of the UN Security Council. The President’s speech focused on defending Colombia’s role within the international body and the importance of maintaining commitments to global development objectives. Details of the specific proposals prompting his criticism were not immediately available. This assumes a proactive stance against potential setbacks in international cooperation and Colombia’s standing within the UN system. Petro will preside over the Security Council during Colombia’s term.
