小科斯塔先生（巴西）（以英语发言）：一年前，我们开会纪念联合国成立75周年，并讨论如何应对我们面前迫在眉睫的挑战。本着这一精神，我们请秘书长提交报告，为推进我们的共同议程提出建议。我们深切赞赏秘书长努力承担起这项任务，向我们提交了一份非常具有实质性和创新性的报告，为会员国开展工作提供初步依据。提交给会员国的报告提到了我们社会的许多基本概念，如团结、信任、包容和参与。我们如果想领导世界应对当前的挑战，也应该以身作则，在会员国之间以及会员国与联合国系统之间的关系中适用这些原则。
Mr. Costa Filho (Brazil): A year ago, we met to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations and address the way forward to tackle the looming challenges ahead of us. In that spirit, we asked the Secretary-General to report back with his recommendations to advance our common agenda. We deeply appreciate the efforts of the Secretary-General in rising to the task and giving us a very substantial and innovative report as an initial basis for Member States to work on. The report presented to Member States references many fundamental concepts to our societies, such as solidarity, trust, inclusion and participation. If we want to lead the world in tackling our current challenges, we should do it also by our own example, applying those principles in the relationships among Member States themselves and between them and the United Nations system.
