The commemoration of the Day included holding ten seminars on various development topics which are priority issues in Jordan that the UN is supporting the country to address.  These are in line with  the UN Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDF) which is the five-year strategic plan agreed between the Government and the UN in Jordan, and Jordan Vision 2025.

Speaking at the opening of the UN Day event, Anders Pedersen, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Jordan said: “As the world’s only truly universal global organization, the United Nations is the foremost forum to address global threats. The raison d’etre of the United Nations remains as relevant today as it was 74 years ago.”

“Global cooperation is critical for Jordan. The future of Jordan will impact not only Jordanians but indirectly all peoples in the region. The pursuit of Jordan’s sustainable development needed to maintain peace and stability has never been more important. Global challenges require global solutions and multilateral action,” Pedersen stressed.

Globally and in commemoration of the Day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that next year’s commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations will feature a large and inclusive global conversation on the role of global cooperation in building the future we want. Starting in January 2020, the United Nations will hold dialogues around the world and across borders, sectors and generations. The aim is to is reach the global public; to listen to their hopes and fears; and to learn from their experiences. Global opinion polling and media analysis will be conducted in parallel to provide statistically representative data.

In a film released to launch the UN@75 initiative, the Secretary-General appealed to people everywhere to add their voices to this campaign: “We need your opinions, your strategies, your ideas for us to be able to deliver better for the people of the world that we must serve.”

Through the upcoming dialogues, UN@75 aims to build a global vision for the year 2045, the UN's centenary; to increase understanding of the threats to that future; and to drive collective action to realize that vision.  Information is available at www.un.org/UN75
