Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, affirmed this, adding that the session will be held under the theme 'Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All', amidst a highly critical international climate resulting from regional tensions witnessed since last February.
