Ambassador Ben Jamia pointed out that the regulations approved this year are “ambitious” and include “tangible progress” on many important matters, especially in regard to enhancing the General Assembly’s presidency office and reaffirming the Assembly’s role.
Algeria’s representative expressed satisfaction with the progress made to enhance the General Assembly’s effectiveness by streamlining its agenda and addressing recent developments related to the working methods of the special working group.
He called for maintaining the progress achieved in the process of selecting and appointing the Secretary-General, emphasizing the need to achieve gender balance and geographical representation.
This is particularly important in the selection and appointment of the best possible candidates for the position of Secretary-General and other important roles within the United Nations.
In conclusion, Algeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations stated that revitalizing the United Nations General Assembly’s work is “a political process, not just a procedural matter.”
