(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MARCH 23 - "This visit shows the excellent cooperation between the UN and the EU: we are at a crucial moment, in many countries there is a perfect storm and we are going backwards because we see more poverty, more hunger, less education and our international financial system is not fit to meet the challenge".
This was stated by the UN secretary general Antonio Guterres arriving at the European Council.
"We are counting on the EU to lead the progress of the 2030 agenda," he noted.
