UAE hosts high-level UN meeting on advancing peace and security agenda
The event brought together UN officials, member states and civil society to strengthen implementation and move the agenda forward across the UN system.
In a video statement shared during the meeting, UAE Minister of State Noura Al Kaabi also highlighted the launch of the TPS series, a global programme focused on expert round tables with a flagship publication to pave the way forward.
'For the United Arab Emirates, tolerance is not merely a virtue or aspiration; it's a prerequisite for global peace and security.
Join us in turning tolerance into action. For peace, for security, and for all.'

The UAE and the UK led the resolution 2686 back in 2023 on tolerance, peace and security. The unanimously adopted resolution recognised that hate speech, racism, racial discrimination, intolerance, gender discrimination and acts of extremism can contribute to conflict, with member states condemning such actions.
The resolution also requested UN peacekeeping and special political missions' monitoring of hate speech, racism and acts of extremism that might impact peace and security.
'We need to develop a shared understanding of what TPS is and how it can be usefully applied in practice," stated Mohamed Abushahab, Permanent Representative of the UAE to the UN, as he emphasized the importance of tolerance in developing innovation and strength.

UN Secretary-General: 'The last lifelines are being cut of'
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the survival of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is at stake if fuel is not allowed into the strip. "I am appalled by the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza", he said in a post on X. "The last lifelines for survival are being cut off. Without an urgent influx of fuel, incubators will shut down, ambulances will be unable to reach the injured and sick, and water cannot be purified. "The UN has a clear and proven plan, rooted in the humanitarian principles, to get vital assistance to civilians – safely and at scale, wherever they are. I renew my call for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."
