Mr. ANGELITO AYONG NAYAN (Philippines) expressed support for the convening of the five informal thematic debates on “Our Common Agenda” starting in February. His delegation believes it is imperative to give time to thoroughly discuss the modalities and mechanisms on the follow-up process, and more importantly, to reach consensus on priority issues based on the 90 specific proposals outlined in the report. His country supports the General Assembly President’s call to have frank and constructive discussions on the revitalization agenda to truly empower the 193-member organ as the pre-eminent deliberative and policymaking body in the United Nations system. The Philippines looks forward to continuing support for the initiatives of the U.N. General Assembly President and the U.N. Secretary-General and to participating in the United Nations-mandated events in 2022.
