Luis Abinader calls for conflict resolution at UN Assembly

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader addressed the United Nations General Assembly, calling for an end to armed conflicts to stabilize global markets. He noted that as an island nation that imports all its fuel, the wars in Europe and the Middle East directly impact the cost of food and energy for Dominican families.

Abinader advocated for a rules-based international order and urged the transformation of the United Nations. He emphasized the need for three key reforms: renewing representation, renewing peacekeeping operations, and renewing support for developing nations. He also highlighted the importance of diplomatic solutions to prevent nuclear proliferation and ensure freedom of navigation.
