President Cyril Ramaphosa addresses the 78th United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York City on 19 September 2023.
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Ramaphosa said it was time to"massively scale up" aid on development as the world falls short on ambitious UN-backed goals to end extreme poverty by 2030. "As the international community, we must do everything within our means to enable meaningful dialogue, just as we should refrain from any actions that fuel the conflict," he said.
