The U.S. believes in the United Nations and its value, President Joe Biden has told U.N. chief Antonio Guterres, underlining that the strong bonds between America and the world body are more important than ever as current challenges like the COVID-19 and climate crisis can only be met with global solutions.

President Biden met U.N. Secretary General Guterres after arriving here on September 20 for his first address to the high-level UN General Assembly session as American President.

Mr. Biden will address world leaders in-person from the iconic General Assembly hall on September 21 on day one of the week-long General Debate, describing as “a great honour.” “America is back. We believe in the United Nations and its value. Because of the challenges we face today in ending COVID-19 and dealing with the gravest threat to humanity we’ve ever seen, which is the whole climate crisis...we’re undergoing that can only be met with global solutions, no one country can — no ten countries can do it,” Mr. Biden said.
