因此，今天的会议使我们有机会强调多边主义的重要性。由于倒退到民族主义和肆无忌惮的单边主义的诱惑，多边主义受到比以往任何时候都更大的威胁。今天的会议还使我们能够大胆评估本组织的工作并展望未来。
Today’s meeting therefore gives us the opportunity to stress the importance of multilateralism, which is under greater threat than ever before, due to the temptation to retreat into nationalism and unbridled unilateralism. It also allows us to boldly take stock of our Organization’s work and look ahead to the future.
