The 72nd Regular Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) opened at the UN Headquarters in New York City on Tuesday September 12, 2017. The General Debate theme is ‘Focusing on People: Striving for Peace and Decent Life for All on a Sustainable Planet’. During this session of UNGA, the United States will have numerous opportunities to engage multilaterally and bilaterally to advance U.S. priorities in five key areas: addressing the threat to global peace and security posed by North Korea; deescalating the conflict in Syria; broadening multilateral counterterrorism efforts to defeat ISIS and other terrorist organizations; taking bold steps on UN reform; and bolstering support for humanitarian assistance to ongoing emergencies, in particular for refugees and the communities that host them.

Administrator Green will meet with bilateral and multinational partners to discuss a variety of issues, including key global health initiatives such as the President's Malaria Initiative and Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the global response to famine and food insecurity, and stabilization efforts in Iraq and Syria.
