In a significant moment for global peace, Israel and Iran declared a ceasefire, offering a brief respite amid ongoing tensions. However, UN under-secretary-general Jorge Moreira da Silva warned that this lull could be fragile, and renewed conflicts may further destabilize the region. Speaking to CGTN's Wang Guan, he stressed that with over 105 million people displaced globally, peace—a fundamental human right—remains elusive for a quarter of the world's population.
For young professionals across South and Southeast Asia, this message hits home. In our fast-paced, connected world—from the bustling streets of Mumbai to the vibrant cities of Jakarta—society thrives on stability and community. The call for global unity and recommitment to the UN Charter reminds us all to stand together in building a safer, more inclusive future. Let’s use our voices and digital platforms to foster hope and drive positive change! 🌍✌️
