Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will travel to New York City from September 23-27 to participate in the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week.
While in New York City, Secretary Blinken will deliver remarks at the UN Summit of the Future and participate in various events on issues important to the American people. He will join the UN Security Council High-Level Briefing on Ukraine to emphasize that Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine represents a fundamental violation of the UN Charter and undermines a stable and open international system. Additionally, Secretary Blinken will attend a summit of the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats, an initiative he established last year to drive international action to disrupt the global supply chain of illicit fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.
Secretary Blinken will also hold meetings with UN officials and foreign counterparts to advance U.S. goals in several areas, including addressing conflict and crises, revitalizing an overstretched UN-led humanitarian system, and creating a more inclusive and effective international system.
