Indonesia and Norway also reaffirmed their commitment to the UN Charter, international law, and the principles and objectives of the UN.
The UN80 Initiative, launched by Guterres in March 2025, aims to address the UN’s financial challenges and enhance its relevance in the 21st century.
The initiative was launched to address structural issues, review existing mandates, realign programs across the UN system, and ensure the world body delivers better services to the people who depend on it.
It is called the UN80 Initiative because it was launched to coincide with the UN’s 80th anniversary.
