NEW YORK – Mozambique’s President Daniel Chapo has called for a fairer international system during his address to the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Speaking on Tuesday, Chapo tied his country’s message to three milestones being marked this year: 50 years of Mozambique’s independence, 50 years of UN membership and the UN’s 80th anniversary.
The president pressed for reforms at the Security Council, a new global financial framework and greater African representation in global decision-making platforms. He raised concerns about climate justice, noting that countries like Mozambique contribute little to global emissions yet remain highly vulnerable to climate impacts.
Chapo also spoke on regulating emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, saying they must serve sustainable development and not exclusion or militarisation. He reiterated Mozambique’s focus on consolidating democracy, encouraging inclusive national dialogue and building long-term peace and stability.
On global conflicts, he advocated a two-state solution in the Middle East, rejected unilateral coercive measures and appealed for stronger international solidarity to face shared challenges.
