“As the United Nations marks 80 years, Canada is stepping up to show that principled leadership matters. In a time when multilateralism is under strain, Canada remains a steadfast defender of the United Nations Charter, human rights, free trade, and peace and security worldwide. We are not only committed to these values – we are ready to lead in advancing them.“
