- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the Charter faces unprecedented assaults amid ongoing wars across multiple continents and selective adherence by states.

- Chinese envoy Fu Cong emphasized the importance of maintaining a global framework centered on the United Nations, honoring state sovereignty, and pursuing peaceful means to resolve conflicts in order to protect international peace and security.
