Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman reaffirmed its unwavering belief in the goals and principles of the United Nations Charter and its continued support for the organization’s efforts to uphold international peace and security, as well as to strengthen global cooperation for sustainable development and the protection of human rights.
His Excellency Ambassador Omar bin Said Al Kathiri, Permanent Representative of the Sultanate of Oman to the United Nations in New York, stated on the occasion of United Nations Day—celebrated annually on October 24—that under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik (may God protect and preserve him), Oman believes in the importance of multilateralism as a path to achieving just and lasting peace. The Sultanate places great emphasis on promoting the values of dialogue, understanding, and human coexistence, and on reinforcing the principles of justice and mutual respect among nations.
His Excellency added to Oman News Agency that the Sultanate of Oman continues its positive contributions within the United Nations system through support for development efforts, humanitarian initiatives, and active participation in addressing regional and global issues—reflecting its foreign policy based on moderation, cooperation, and peace.
He emphasized that this day represents an opportunity to renew the collective commitment to the noble goals of the United Nations and to work together for a safer, more just, and sustainable future for coming generations.
The United Nations today celebrates UN Day, marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of the international charter on October 24, 1945, amid calls to strengthen global partnerships to confront challenges.
UN Day is an occasion to reaffirm commitment to the principles upon which the organization was founded—chief among them peace, development, and human rights.
In a statement, Secretary-General António Guterres affirmed that the United Nations remains the sole platform for dialogue and peace, especially amid regional tensions. He noted that the founding of the UN eight decades ago was a promise of peace, dignity, and prosperity for all peoples, and a reflection of faith in fundamental human rights, the rule of law, justice, and social progress.
He added that the world today faces grave challenges—from conflicts and climate change to widening inequality, rising poverty, and emerging threats such as artificial intelligence—while also affirming that humanity has unprecedented opportunities to build a better future.
