{UAH} SAM KUTEESA'S MAIDEN SPEECH
UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S NEW PRESIDENT'S SPEECH
Mr Kutesa said his unanimous election was a sign of trust and confidence in him and a recognition of Uganda's contributions.
He said the UNGA should focus on reducing poverty, fighting climate change and advancing gender equality.
"The scale and reach of most of the challenges we face, coupled with the limited capacity of many of those worst affected, requires that we address them collectively," he said. "The UN exists to find solutions through our combined efforts."
He first talked to the UN General Assembly in 1985 when he was Minister of Justice/Attorney General. He addressed it later in 2006 as he had become Foreign Minister. More details in Bukedde and New Vision.
